Eric,

 

Per the discussion this morning concerning the grading downstream of the Ponte Weir, I have reviewed the grading plan for this area and it reflects the intended grading design.  An exhibit,
in PDF format, is attached for your reference.

 

The water flows over the Ponte weir onto a splash structure where the water level is normally one foot deep.  At the end of the splash structure the creek bottom is one foot below the
structure to the typical edge depth of two feet.  The creek bottom slopes 0.5 feet for 10 feet and then down at a three to one slope to maximum depth determined by the width of the creek.
 This creates a deep pool below the weir structure that ends at the point where the creek bottom narrows to the existing channel.  Remember, while this is a flowing creek, it is also
a reservoir at a minimum depth of two feet controlled by the lower weir and Ponte weir.

 

Please let me know if I have not answered the questions you had.
