(A) History of Clay Pit Brook flooding & Problem Statement:
CONFIDENTIAL12/08/14
3
Clay pit Brook is a stream located just 1.4 miles from Lowell, in Middlesex County, in the state of Massachusetts. In addition the two major and well-known rivers, the Merrimack and the Concord, that flow through Lowell, there is a small number of brooks that meander through marshy areas, neighborhoods, and formerly industrialized sections of the city.
The area of Clay Pit Brook has been reported to flood every time a strong storm hits the area. The
residents living in this are think that the five foot-high flashboards that were installed on the Pawtucket Dam back in the 1800’s are ineffective and therefore causing the river to flood into the area. This has been an ongoing problem in Clay Pit Brook and the people living there would like this problem to be resolved. (B) Technical requirements:
During our evaluation of the drainage area along Clay Pit Brook and Flaggy Meadow Brook regarding
the contiguous flooding effects do to the Merrimack River.
1) Determine the effects of the flooding that clay pit brook have been creating.
2) Estimating the rainfall and run-off from the tributary drainage areas
3) Create a 3D model using HEC-RAS

(D) Solution & Assumptions to the problem:
CONFIDENTIAL12/08/14
34
From gathering and performing the data in the Clay Pit Brook area a conclusion was reached that
Clay Pit Brook is in a Flood Bank and in a valley, and whenever it rains sufficient enough the area will flood. When the river rises because of these storms, it has little to no effect on Clay Pit Brook flooding. The residents moving out of the area would be a solution, but that wont happen. Since replacing the whole drainage system would be a costly repair and a long and disturbing project for the residents there, one solution would be to clean out and maintain the drainage system in the area since there could be debris stuck in the pipes and corrosion causing the system to not perform more efficiently. Another easy solution would be to pass down the data collected in this project to future UML Civil & Environmental Engineers students so then they can perform more analysis on the area and perfect the problem.
