Hydraulic modeling of the Lake Street Bridge over Mill Pond, Monroe, NY. The county was replacing this bridge with a new structure and because the bridge was in the flood plain of the Ramapo River, a detailed map was necessary to size the bridge to pass the 100 year return period storm. Detailed HEC-II modeling was prepared to justify the sizing. |

Mill Pond Dam
Park Ridge, NJ
Hydrologic and hyraulic analysis for a dam-break model for the Mill Pond Dam located in Park Ridge, New Jersey. Additional studies consisted of rerunning the HEC-II model to ascertain water surface elevations directly downstream of the dam.
