<br />(Y') <br />C> <br />CD <br />,....; <br />c-' <br />c:... <br /> <br />Services available include assistance in interpretation and evaluation of basic flood hazard data <br />including the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps; <br />guidance in preparation of flood plain regulations; advice on use of ahemative developments in flood- <br />prone areas; guidance on structural and nonstructural measures for reducing flood hazards; and in <br />some cases, development of basic flood hazard data. <br /> <br />Section 321 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1990 requires recovering the costs of <br />services provided to Federal agencies and private persons; however, state, and regional, and local <br />governments and other non-Federal public agencies are not charged for FPMS services. <br /> <br />We initiated a FPMS special study for Red River, New Mexico, to delineate flood plains for the <br />town to use for planning PU1Jloses. Phase I, the hydrologic analysis, was completed in May 1996, and <br />Phase II, the hydraulic analysis and flood plain delineation, is scheduled to be completed in February <br />1998. <br /> <br />During 1997, we responded to 52 requests for technical services and flood hazard evaluations <br />of specific sites in the Rio Grande Basin. Governmental agencies or persons having a need for flood <br />plain management services should contact the Corps' Hydrology and Hydraulics Section, 4101 <br />Jefferson Plaza NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87109-3435 or telephone (505) 342-3323. <br /> <br />9. UPPER RIO GRANDE WATER OPERATIONS MODEL. The Bureau of Reclamation, Corps <br />of Engineers, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Geological Survey, Intemational Boundary and Water <br />Commission (US Section), and Fish and Wildlife Service, signed a Memorandum of Understanding <br />(MOD) for the development of an Upper Rio Grande Water Operations Model for Enhanced System <br />Management in January 1996. The MOU identifies the needs for a unified water operations model <br />and establishes a broad time frame for model development. A plan for development of the model was <br />developed with review and input from the signatories and interested stakeholders, and was distn'buted <br />in February 1997. The scope and intent of the plan is to develop a numerical computer model capable <br />of sinmlating water storage and delivery operations in the Rio Grande (Basin). The primary pU1Jlose <br />of the model is to fucilitate more efficient and effective management of the Basin's water supply. In <br />1997, a multi-agency modeling team developed physical and accounting conceptual models for the <br />Rio Chama test reach. Fonowing construction and thorough testing of the test reach model using the <br />software RiverWare, the team will begin development of the full Basin model in March 1998. <br /> <br />10. Up.per Rio Crrande Basin Water Operations Review. The Corps and Reclamation are initiating <br />a joint effort to review reservoir and river operations in the Rio Grande Basin above Fort Quitman, <br />Texas. The PU1Jlose of the Review is to develop an integrated plan for water operations. The Review. <br />will focus on existing facilities and changes in operations that can be implemented within existing <br />authorities. It is needed to increase system efficiency and accommodate changing water management <br />requirements through a range of hydrologic conditions. It is also need for National Environmental <br />Policy Act (NEPA) and Endangered Species Act compliance. The Upper Rio Grande Water <br />Operations Model (URGWOM) will be used extensively in developing and evaluating alternative <br />operating plans. The NEP A compliance process will provide the vehicle for conducting the review. <br />A notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement is scheduled to be published in the <br />fun of 1998. The Review is expected to continue through 2002. <br /> <br />6 <br />
