Tejano BMX Trails: Floodplain Hydraulic Model Review by Civil Engineer 5-2-2021 (PowerPoint.ppt format)
Slides 12, 13 & 14 summarize the findings:

Slide 12 Floodplain Storage:

• Trails are situated on terrain above elevation 646 and below 654 in the floodplain.
• Jumps created by excavating shallow pits and stacking and shaping soil into ramps and landings.
• Trail features (jumps) were created without importing fill, so floodplain storage is not impacted.

Slide 13 Flood Flows:

• Trails are outside floodway and located in ineffective flow area
• Located in area of scattered brush and heavy weeds (n = 0.07)

Slide 14 Erosion:

• Clay rich soils with cohesive properties
• Exposed soil surfaces on trails and jumps is highly compacted by bike tires
• Tarps used to cover exposed dirt mounds in event of heavy rain
• Grass and vegetation planted on steep slopes on sides of features to hold soil in place
• Above conditions tends to prevent soil erosion
• When erosion does occur, sediment is captured in shallow pits (sediment traps) near jumps. No sediment is discharged to the creek.

The BBQ Pit has been removed by volunteers and no further BBQs or fires will be allowed onsite.

The water intake system has been disabled by volunteers and no further intake will occur until the volunteer group obtains a permit from TCEQ.
If a permit is not issued, the volunteers will remove all water storage reseources from the site.

The deck was initial built by volunteers without cooperation and approval from the larger volunteer group.
Since then, the deck has been re-inforced with safety railings installed around the entire deck.
Steps have been installed to ensure safety.

Knowing the deck was built without a permit and is not up to code, the volunteers will glady be willing to work with the city to:

1. Remediate the existing deck to bring it up to code.
2. Submit plans for a new deck and obtain a proper permit.
3. Remove the deck entirely.

The city installed signage years ago. Volunteers have installed additional signage clearly stating:
   Ride at your own risk. Safety equipment highly recommended.

Sport / recreational activities covered by the existing statute that governs cycling / recreation / skatepark liability in tort: Chapter 75.001.3.M of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, commonly referred to as the Texas Recreational Use Statute

As many of our volunteers have impairments, the volunteer group will gladly work with the city to ensure accessibility for all the community per Section 508 ADA standards.

Tejano BMX Trails volunteers and visitors are willing to park wherever the city designates as appropriate parking for people using the associated hike and bike trail.
