Client: Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission (GSCPC)
Location: Georgetown, Kentucky
Services: Hydrologic & Hydraulic Modeling
Georgetown/Scott County has seen significant growth with the existence of Toyota and other industries within its limits. Dry Run is one of the larger watersheds within the limits of Scott County and is mostly undeveloped compared to the neighboring watersheds. A SWMM model was developed in 2008 for Dry Run with the intention of using the model as a base model for future developments in the watershed; however, the model was never utilized. With continued growth in the area, GSCPC wanted to convert the model to the free EPASWMM software, make updates to the model to reflect current conditions, and ensure that the model would still run and produce accurate results. L&R Engineers was contracted to perform the work as well as provide a summary report on the process.
Old Bardstown Road Senior Living Apartments Drainage Design
Client: Blomquist Design Group / Clover Communities
Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Design, Erosion and Sediment Control
As part of the design for a senior living apartment complex, a full drainage design was performed for the site. This included pipe and ditch sizing, detention basin design, water quality unit design, and sediment control measures to meet Louisville MSD’s design requirements. Due to existing flooding issues downstream, additional measures were taken to provide design recommendations for improving drainage for the downstream areas.
Education Facility Drainage Design
Client: Blomquist Design Group / Jefferson Development Group
Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Design, Erosion and Sediment Control
A private college was to be constructed off of Terra Crossing Boulevard in Louisville Kentucky. The site did not require water quality or water quantity measures as there is a large basin within the overall development that meets the requirements of Louisville MSD. A hydrologic and hydraulic model was developed for the site to design the stormwater infrastructure. In addition, sediment traps and silt fences were designed to meet Louisville MSD’s requirements established in the Design Manual.
Clayton Avenue Drainage Analysis
Client: Midwest Engineering / Foley Auction and Realty
Location: Georgetown, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Study
The City of Georgetown and Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission had expressed concerns over a proposed development near the intersection of South Broadway and Clayton Avenue. The concerns stemmed from existing flooding issues near the site and potential impacts to the flooding with the proposed new development. The engineer and developer, for the proposed development, contracted L&R Engineers to develop a hydraulic/hydrologic model to consider the impacts of the new development to both the overland and pipe flow in its immediate vicinity. The results of the analysis were provided to the City of Georgetown and Georgetown-Scott County Planning Commission for review.
Urton Lane Senior Living Apartments Drainage Design
Client: Blomquist Design Group / Clover Communities
Location: Middletown, Louisville, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Design, Erosion and Sediment Control
As part of the design for a senior living apartment complex, a full drainage design was performed for the site. This included pipe and ditch sizing, detention basin layout and design, water quality unit design, and sediment control measures to meet Louisville MSD’s design requirements. Additional requirements were met for the City of Middletown which included utilizing the proposed detention basin to limit the 100-year post-developed flowrates to 50% of the pre-developed flowrates.

The second phase of an apartment complex was to be constructed off of Terra Crossing Boulevard in Louisville Kentucky. The site did not require a water quality or water quantity measures as there is a large basin within the overall development that meets the requirements of Louisville MSD. A hydrologic and hydraulic model was developed for the site to design the stormwater infrastructure. In addition, sediment traps and silt fences were designed to meet Louisville MSD’s requirements established in their Design Manual.
KFC Campbellsville Drainage Analysis
Client: Blomquist Design Group
Location: Campbellsville, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Design, Erosion and Sediment Control
A proposed KFC was to be constructed in Campbellsville, Kentucky and flowrates leaving the proposed site must meet the water quantity and water quality requirements of the City of Campbellsville’s Drainage Ordinance. A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis was performed to determine existing and proposed flowrates leaving the site. The results of the analysis determined that a hydrodynamic separator in series with an underground storage system, that promotes infiltration, would meet the City’s water quality and quantity requirements.
KFC Bardstown Drainage Analysis
Client: City of Bardstown
Location: Bardstown, Kentucky
Services: Site Drainage Design, Erosion and Sediment Control
A proposed KFC was to be constructed in Bardstown, Kentucky and flowrates leaving the proposed site must meet the water quantity and water quality requirements of the City of Bardstown’s Drainage Ordinance. A hydrologic analysis was performed to determine existing and proposed flowrates leaving the site. The results of the analysis determined that a hydrodynamic separator in series with an underground storage system, that promotes infiltration, would meet the City’s water quality and quantity requirements.
A homebuilder in Louisville, Kentucky was required by the Louisville Metro Sewer District (MSD) to perform a no-impact analysis for a proposed development within a FEMA flood hazard area. The existing HEC-RAS model was obtained and modified to account for the proposed modifications within the floodplain to be made by the homebuilder. The analysis determined no-impact from the proposed development and was summarized in a report provided to the client.

No-Impact Certification of Notice of Violation (NOV)
A property owner in Burgin, Kentucky was issued a NOV by the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection (KDEP) for fill placed within the floodplain. To determine the impacts of the fill on the floodplain the existing model was obtained, updated with LiDAR, and then modified to account for the fill placed within the floodplain by the property owner. The analysis determined no-impact from the proposed development and was summarized in a report provided to the client.
