ODOT GENERAL APPRAISAL RATINGS

RATING

DESCRIPTION

1Failed Condition – out-of-service; beyond corrective action

2

Imminent Failure Conditions – major deterioration or section loss present in critical structural components. Bridge is closed to traffic but corrective action may put it back into light service.

3

Critical Condition – Advanced deterioration of primary structural elements. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present. Bridge should be closed, or closely monitored, until corrective action is taken

4

Serious Condition – Loss of section, deterioration, or spalling have seriously affected primary structural components. Local failures are possible. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present.

5Poor Condition – Advanced section loss, deterioration or spalling.

6

Fair Condition – All primary structural elements are sound, but may have minor section loss, cracking, or spalling. Secondary elements may have significant deterioration.

CULVERTSExplain the problem associated with the culvert along with photographs of the structure.

1.There is settlement or misalignment.

2.Seams and/or points are tight, seeping or cracking.

3.Rust/corrosion is present.

Culverts longer than 10 feet - Only those culverts with General Appraisal ratings of 5 or below will be considered by the DOPWIC.

A copy of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Culvert Inspection Report must be included in the application.

Describe and/show the road’s surface in terms of surface deterioration, e.g., rutting and cracks are evident.

CAPACITY PROJECTS – Lane widening or turn lanes at intersections

Explain how the average daily traffic exceeds the current lane width.

Explain why ADT has increased – have changes in the area increased traffic.

ALIGNMENT PROJECTS

SEWERS

COURT OR REGULATORY ACTIONS.• If the applicant is under orders from a court or regulatory agency, summarize the order including the reasons for the orders.

FLOODING/COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS

• Describe damages to land, structure and/or the environment. • For combined sewer overflows or sanitary

sewer overflows reference the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District’s (NEORSD) Combined Sewer Program and number assigned to the overflow.

• Widespread flooding - indicate how often it occurs (after 100 + year storms, anytime it rains or in dry weather) and whether the designed storm year has been exceeded.

STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES.•Describe the actual condition of the pipe.•National Pollution Discharge Eliminations Systems (NPDES) violations•The number of violations received in the last ten years:

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) staff will provide a technical support in evaluating these projects.

SEPTIC SYSTEMS

If a septic system is discharging into the public waterways, provide current (within the last year) documentation from the Cuyahoga County Board of Health that indicates the level of contamination:

Primary Contact:

Fecal coliform – The contamination exceeds 1,000 per ML for 5 samples within a 30-day period.E. coli – The contamination exceeds 126 per 100 ML on not less than 5 samples within a 30-day period. Secondary Contact:

Fecal coliform – The contamination exceeds 5,000 per ML, or in more than 10% of the samples taken during any 30-day period.

E Coli – The contamination exceeds 576 per 100 ML in more than 10% of the samples taken during any 30-day period.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

•Influent flows and organic loads are:• Less than 85% of design level; or • Greater than 85% of design level.

•National Pollution Discharge Eliminations Systems (NPDES) violations received in the last ten years:

No violations exceeding 20% of the NPDES permit limit1-10 violations exceeding the 20% of NPDES permit limit occurred10+ violations exceeding 20% of the NPDES permit limit occurredCommunity is under formal enforcement proceedings.

WATERLINES•Break Rates - The break rate evaluation is based on the rate of failure in

relation to the overall rate of failure of the City of Cleveland’s distribution system. The Cleveland Water Distribution System’s overall break rate is approximately 0.3 break/ (mile x year). A ratio of the break rate of the waterline in comparison to the overall break rate is determined. The higher the break rate ratio the higher the score.

•Fireflow Deficit - The percent of deficit in fire protection will be determined. Since the condition of a waterline directly relates to how efficiently water flows through the line, the rougher the surface of the waterline, the more turbulent the flow, which will cause a reduction in hydraulic capacity. A C-Factor below 30 and/or hydraulic capacity of less than 500 gallons per minute (gpm) at 20 psi (pounds per inch) indicates that the waterline(s) should be rehabilitated.

•Water Quality -Water quality problems in the distribution system are usually a result of poor internal pipe surfaces and/or lack of circulation. Pipes that are tuberculated internally are potential sources of water quality problems. Water quality complaint records, Cleveland Water Department test records and other agency records are the basis of determining the intensity of problem.

In addition to the staff evaluation of these projects, the City of Cleveland’s Water Department will provide a technical evaluation.
