The plan consists of the landside enlargement of approximately 59,100 linear feet of existing levee and construction of 16,500 linear feet of new levee, along with the construction of three channel cutoffs, totaling 6,600 linear feet. Approximately 1,700 feet of the left bank of McGee Creek will be riprapped. The plan also provides for the replacement of an existing pumping station and construction of a new inlet ditch. (Author).
The pumping station is part of a flood-control project that will provide protection to approximately 12,234 acres of predominantly agricultural lands in the McGee Creek Drainage and Levee District, which is located in Brown and Pike Counties, Illinois. The District includes the Illinois River bottomlands on the right band between river miles 67.2 and 75.1 above the mouth of the Illinois River, bounded on the north by Kamp Creek and on the south and west by McGee Creek. The proposed pumping station will be of the wet pit (sump) type employing three vertical propeller-type mixed or axial flow pumps operating with syphonic recovery. The design discharge for each pump at high operating heads is 107 cfs. The model study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of inflow to the original sump and to develop modifications for improving the flow distribution to the pump intakes if needed.
