SUBJECT:
Project No. 81241207, Contract 12-002
Agreement with the United States Department of the Interior
ISSUE
Approve on agreement with the United States Department of the Interior ho continue the
operation of the Green River streamgage at S 200th St.
BACKGROUND
|n201|, the City of Kent and Tukwila requested that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
install G river gage e1 the S«nnmSt. Bridge to provide real time river flow monitoring within
the lower reaches of the Green River. The USGS agreed to install and maintain the gage,
provided that local sponsors cover the cost of installation and yearly monitoring. This
agreement is for Tukwila's portion of the yearly monitoring of the S 200th St. strearrigage.
DISCUSSION
A flow monitoring station at8«00m St. isimportant for Tukwila aedallows for amore
accurate assessment of the river flow through the City. Significant inflow can occur below
Auburn that is not monitored and these can have a significant impact on available freeboard
of the levee system. A 12,000 CFS event in Auburn that occurs simultaneously with a
significant rain event in the lower valley will result in a river stage that is several feet higher
than if it occurred without a corresponding elevated local inflow. Information from the S 200th
St. gage could be used to aid emergency management decisions, river flood patrols, and
surface water pump station operational cutoff procedures.
FISCAL IMPACT
The original contract was approved in 2012 for the installation of the stream gage for $15,070 and
the annual monitoring cost started at $9,000 and will be $9,610 for 2016. Approval Of this year's
contract, combined with previous years expenditures will exceed $40,000 and therefore requiring
Council approval. Available funding is from the Annual Small Drainage Program.
RECOMMENDATION
Council io being asked [O approve the Water Resources Investigations Agreement with the US
Department of the Interior for the 8n»«mSt. StreamgaQe Project and to consider this item on the
Consent Agenda sd the December 7.2O15 Regular Meeting.
