25 CDOT & CWCB Partnership Started meeting in November Recognized an unmet need for design hydrology for the permanent repair projects. Identified seven Flood Affected Watersheds that are critical to CDOT s re-construction efforts. Watersheds Big Thompson River Little Thompson River St. Vrain Creek Lefthand Creek Boulder Creek Coal Creek South Platte River
26 Key Messages CWCB/CDOT Partnership What kind of event did we experience in September 2013? Collected numerous Peak Flow Estimates from the event Comparing these flow estimates to the revised Hydrology The flood served as a catalyst for large scale updates Updated and consistent Hydrology is already helping local communities Higher level of risk than the existing Flood Insurance Studies indicate Resiliency through improved floodplain maps and better information for the Local Communities to use
27 Scope of the Hydrologic Evaluations 1. Estimate peak discharges from September 2013 flood and compare to current regulatory discharges. 2. Prepare rainfall-runoff model and calibrate to 2013 event. 3. Update flood frequency analyses. 4. Use rainfall-runoff model to estimate predictive peak discharges based on NOAA/NRCS design storms.
