Approximately 240 linear feet of the existing concrete-lined stream channel would be replaced, and the concrete-lined channel would be extended approximately 765 linear feet upstream from the existing concrete channel. A drop structure would be constructed to lower the channel grade at the upper end where it would tie into the existing natural channel.  The City of Tulsa would utilize the capacity of the existing double 66-inch reinforced concrete pipeline (RCP) culverts. Therefore, a diversion weir structure would be constructed in the concrete channel adjacent to East 17th Street.  This diversion would split the flow between the existing concrete channel that flows north and the proposed double 8-foot by 5-foot RCB storm sewer that would travel along East 17th Place and then turn north along South 117th East Avenue. A junction box would be constructed to combine the new storm system with the existing double 66-inch RCPs. A double 10-foot by 6-foot RCB culvert would convey the combined flow north along South 117th East Avenue, turning west at East 16th Street South and discharging into the main stem of Tupelo Creek just north of the East 16th Street bridge.
