Project Overview This report details a stormwater conveyance system analysis prepared for the Borough of Ebensburg in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The study was conducted by L. R. Kimball (CDI-Infrastructure, LLC) to provide a preliminary design for future stormwater improvements. Key Objectives: Evaluate existing pipe capacities throughout the borough. Propose a preliminary designed storm sewer conveyance system to remedy deficiencies. Create a master planning tool to assist the Borough in making informed decisions regarding storm sewer improvements. Scope Limitations: The analysis is restricted to the conveyance system only and does not address outflow impacts or stormwater management. The study area is limited to developed areas within the Borough and does not extend beyond the former Pennsylvania Railroad grade (now the Ghost Town Trail). This report serves as a planning tool and does not represent a final design. Watershed Analysis The analysis identified three distinct watersheds based on the natural terrain of the borough: Watershed A: Flows from Highland Avenue south and contributes to an unnamed tributary flowing under Center Street in the Uni-Mart area. Watershed B: Flows from Highland Avenue in a southeasterly direction, contributing flows to Howells Run and Lake Rowena. Watershed C: Flows north from Highland Avenue to an unnamed tributary that flows east and eventually reaches the Ebensburg water reservoir. Data Sources Information for the analysis was gathered from: Cambria County aerial photography. Borough mapping. Information from past projects completed by Kimball in the area. Site visits performed by Kimball to verify existing site conditions.
