The WRF is located on 6.22 acres at 915 S. 7th Street in Buckeye, Arizona. The current available expansion area amounts to 3.97 acres, immediately south of the existing facility, bringing the total acreage to be protected to 10.19 acres, all of which are owned by the City of Buckeye. The facility sits on the north edge of the Gila River banks and east of State Route 85 and is in Section 8, Township 1 South, Range 3 West. It is bordered by agricultural fields and industrial property to the north and west, with a forty-foot irrigation ditch owned by the Buckeye Water Conservation District running westerly along the northern edge of the easternmost parcel to the 7th street alignment, where it makes a ninety-degree turn south along 7th street to the Hazen Road alignment that marks the southernmost boundary of the intended project. Just south of the WRF is the Gila River. The river flow is southwesterly through broad valleys filled with invasive salt cedar trees. Due to the overgrowth of salt cedar in and along the Gila River, FEMA revised its flood map delineation of the area to include the WRF, placing all 10.19 acres in the 100-year flood plain. The following Buckeye Ring Levee Site Map delineates the to-be-protected area by an orange rectangle within the 100-year flood zone highlighted in blue in the aerial map.

If you select 'Yes' to phased project question. You must select Phase 1 or Phase 2 on Budget lines. Yes No There will be a design phase and a construction phase Are you doing construction in this project? Yes No Population affected 27% Detail/descriptio n of stated percentage The project is located in the City of Buckeye, located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Buckeye is a rural area with population clusters spread over 640 sq. miles, covered by greater than 90% agricultural/open space, 2% industrial/commercial use, and 4% residential. Buckeye is located 40 miles west of Phoenix and consists of 640 square miles. Buckeye is home to approximately 114,000 people. 100% of the downtown population of about 31,000 resides in the proposed project’s benefiting area. Median household income is estimated at $57,000. There are about 30 businesses in the impacted/benefitted area. Buckeye’s 2024 main ethnic breakdown is 35% Latino, 48% White, 8% Black and 9% other. The World Population Review estimates the median household income for 2024 is $94,188, the median age is 35 years, and 8% of households are below the poverty level. Portions of Buckeye, including the benefitted area, have been federally identified as historically disadvantaged as to transportation, health, equity, environmental indicators, Risk Management Plan (RMP) facility proximity, wastewater discharge, flood risk, education, income, socioeconomic indicators, unemployment, and high level of vulnerability to negative effects caused by external stresses on human health. This includes the affected area of this project. The total population affected is 27% (31,000 / 114,000 = 0.2719 (27.19%)). Project Subapplication 15 Scope of work Provide a clear and detailed description of your proposed activity Currently, the Buckeye Central Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is situated within a federally designated flood zone and is at risk of damage and inoperability due to flooding. The WRF is unprotected from flooding and flood debris damage. This proposal is to build a flood prevention ring levee around the WRF. Buckeye will design and construct a ring levee to surround and protect the existing WRF and its planned expansions from the risk of a 100- year flood event. The WRF provides water reclamation services to approximately 10,463 service customers. If the WRF is damaged by flooding and/or flood debris and is unable to process sewage, the customer base will be at risk of sewage backup. This creates a risk to sewer service, public safety, public health, hazardous materials exposure, and WRF and customer infrastructure damage. Buckeye is currently in the process of repairing, improving, upgrading, and expanding the WRF to meet present and future demands of the ever-growing population. The ring levee is planned to encircle the existing facility as well as the expansion area. The project includes the design and construction of a ring levee with a road on top and will accommodate the new levee crest elevation of 849.90 feet, which includes dewatering and diversion of water and drainage. The crest elevation was determined using the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD88), which is the standard established in 1988, and used as a reference for determining elevations within a floodplain. The NAVD88 design basis provides a difference of three feet between the modeled water surface elevation and the crest elevation for the 0.2% annual exceedance probability (AEP) event, providing sufficient coverage to mitigate any potential flood risk associated with a 100- year flood event. The design and construction of the ring levee will conform to the City of Buckeye's engineering design standards. Consistent with Buckeye’s desire to include nature-based solutions, the earthwork ring levee will direct flood waters away from infrastructure and population and divert flood waters into the Gila River bed. Project Subapplication 16 How will the mitigation activity be implemented? The mitigation activity will begin immediately upon a successful grant award and acceptance. The City of Buckeye’s experienced engineering and wastewater team will manage and administer the completion of the design and construction of the ring levee. The design will be updated by an independent contractor and expected to be completed within 14 months. Project bidding, advertising, and permitting will be conducted during the following 4 months. Buckeye will conduct a request for proposal bid process to employ the services of a general contractor for the construction of the project, to include bid proposals open to disadvantaged business entities (DBE). Buckeye will adhere to the grant award terms and conditions, including Davis-Bacon compliance, Buy America Act compliance, and all other compliance requirements. Buckeye’s experienced Grants team will administer grant compliance, grant expenditure management, grant reimbursements, and grant award reporting requirements. Construction of the ring levee is anticipated to be completed within 12 months of the notice to proceed, with final inspections and approvals anticipated to be completed within 3 months after completion of construction. Final closeout of the grant is estimated at 3 months. The ring levee will be an earthwork ring levee, designed to encircle the WRF, providing flood protection by preventing water from entering or leaving. Construction will consist of a compacted soil embankment. The soil will be built up to a height sufficient to create a barrier against floodwaters. The ring levee will be built with a road on top and to accommodate the new levee crest elevation of 849.90 feet, which includes dewatering and diversion of water and drainage into the Gila River. Project Subapplication 17 Scope of work Project Subapplication 18 Describe how the project is technically feasible and will be effective in reducing the risk by reducing or eliminating damage to property and/or loss of life in the project area. Please include engineering design parameters and references to the following: preliminary schematic or engineering drawings/design ; applicable building codes; engineering practices and/or best practices; level of protection (e.g., life safety, 100- yr flood protection with freeboard, 100- yr wind design, etc.): Following a 2017 Federal Interest Determination (FID) suggesting the potential justification of a flood risk mitigation project at the Central Water Reclamation Facility (WRF), Buckeye partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to perform a Targeted Economic Analysis at the Gila River as part of the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP), Section 205, to determine if there is a technically feasible, economically justifiable, and environmentally acceptable solution to reduce flood risk to the City of Buckeye’s WRF. This study confirmed the WRF's vulnerability, located within the FEMA 100-year floodplain (Exhibit A), and identified the existing levee as the most susceptible to failure before overtopping, with a geotechnical probability of failure occurring between 4% and 2.5% annual exceedance probability (AEP) events (Exhibit B). The study thoroughly assessed flood risks and damage, considering structural and nonstructural measures. It also evaluated environmental impacts, including biological and natural resources. The Ring Levee Measure was determined to be the most beneficial and cost- effective solution. This measure was evaluated at three (3) levels of protection. - 2% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) (50-year Storm Protection) - 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) (100-year Storm Protection) - 0.2% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) (500-year Storm Protection) The height of the ring levee in each alternative solution was evaluated at elevations necessary to provide sufficient freeboard to the elevation associated with flooding from the Gila River during the 50-, 100-, and 500-year storm events. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) elevations have been computed as part of the Lower Gila River Floodplain Delineation Study (LGR FDS) (Flood Control District Contract No 2012C017). The LGR FDS did not analyze a 50-year (2% AEP) or 500-year (0.2% AEP) storm event, only a 100-year (1% AEP) storm event. To obtain these values, the 0.61’ increase in Water Surface Elevation Grids (WSEL) associated with the 100-year storm event was also applied to the 50-year and 500-year elevation values from the USACE report. The updated 100-year Water Surface Elevation presented on the 2024 FEMA FIRM panel, and those estimated for the 50-year and 500-year storm events, are greater than the elevations utilized by the USACE in the evaluation of levee alternatives. Accordingly, this has been further evaluated based on updated levee crest elevations. Ultimately, a technically feasible plan to reinforce the existing structure and construct a new levee at an elevation of 849.9 feet was selected as the preferred option, adhering to Army Corps of Engineers Principles and Requirements for Federal Investments in Water Resources (PR&G). The study area is depicted in Exhibit C, attached. Project Subapplication 19 Project Subapplication 20 Scope of work Project Subapplication 21 Scope of work Who will manage and complete the mitigation activity? Buckeye will engage the services of outside independent contractors for design and construction services. The City of Buckeye, along with the hired contractors, will manage and administer the completion of the design and construction of the ring levee. Buckeye Water recently completed a $90 million water campus project. Currently, Buckeye is managing an $18 million wastewater facility upgrade and a $67 million water campus facility construction. The Grant Program Manager and the Grant Program Administrator for the City of Buckeye will manage the grant to ensure that all project milestones are met in a timely manner, ensure Davis-Bacon, Buy American Act, and other compliance requirements, and ensure that all required reports are submitted before the due date or on time. The Buckeye grants team is currently successfully managing a grant portfolio of approximately $34 million. Will the project address the hazards identified and what risks will remain from all hazards after project implementation (residual risk)? The WRF, serving approximately 10,463 customers, 27% of the city’s population, requires the ring levee to mitigate the potential risk of devastating flood impacts from electrical, mechanical, and equipment failures that could release up to 10 million gallons of raw sewage daily into the Gila River or back up into customer infrastructure. This upgrade also safeguards against sewage backups into businesses and homes, averting displacement and property damage. Without the upgrade, seventy trucks, if available, would be needed to continuously transport 2.4 million gallons per day (MGD) of sewage out of the collection lines until the facility was returned to service. Anything exceeding this capacity would lead to untreated sewage flowing into the Gila River or backing up into customer infrastructure, causing catastrophic environmental contamination and health risk to residents. By 2038, this excess could reach 10 MGD. Depending on the extent of the damage, the city expects to be able to repair critical components and restore limited operations within the first ninety days. However, full operational capacity would likely require up to 120 days or more due to supply chain and contracting challenges. Repairs could include, but are not limited to, replacement or repair of pumps, motors, electrical wiring, and SCADA systems. Per the feasibility study, a completed levee would eliminate all residual risk. When will the mitigation activity take place? Upon award and final execution of a grant agreement, the City of Buckeye will commence the procurement process to obtain contractors for design and construction activities. Once the contractors have been procured, the design and construction activities will commence. The overall period of performance, including procurement, design, and construction, will occur over a 36-month period. Project Subapplication 22 Scope of work Explain why this project is the best alternative. What alternatives were considered to address the risk and why was the proposed activity considered the best alternative? The City of Buckeye evaluated fourteen potential flood risk management measures, considering their effectiveness, technical feasibility, and cost- effectiveness. These measures included both structural and nonstructural options. From this comprehensive assessment, five technically feasible alternatives were identified and further analyzed (Table 2). A ring levee emerged as the best solution, and its benefits were calculated under three different flood scenarios (2%, 1%, and 0.2% AEP). The 0.2% AEP 100-year flood event ring levee alternative demonstrated the highest net benefits and a favorable benefit-to- cost ratio, making it the most economically viable choice under National Economic Development guidelines. According to the FEMA BCR worksheet, the benefit cost ratio is 4.33. Please identify the entity that will perform any long-term maintenance and provide a maintenance schedule and cost information. The subapplicant or owner of the area to be mitigated is responsible for maintenance (including costs of long-term care) after the project is completed? The City of Buckeye Wastewater Utility is an accredited agency with the American Public Works Association and, as such, has a robust asset management program in place that will incorporate the ring levee after construction is complete. The asset management plan will schedule quarterly landscape maintenance of the levee, which will include basic landscaping activities to protect the levee from invasive weeds or other undesirable plant life and will include a visual inspection of the levee to identify any obvious erosion or concerns that may need to be addressed. This cost is to be budgeted in the wastewater utility annual operation budget and is estimated at $4,000 per year for this service, increasing annually with inflationary factors. In addition, following the USACE standard for Risk assessments, a ten-year assessment is to be conducted by the city in accordance with the Bureau of Reclamation Risk Management, Best Practices in Dam and Levee Safety Risk Analysis, located online at https://www.usbr.gov/damsafety/risk/methodology.html. The cost to complete this assessment will be programmed into the wastewater utility fund’s operational budget to support the ongoing asset management program.
