<br />Routt County <br /> <br />An initial community coordination meeting was held for the unincorporated areas of <br />Routt County in February 1985 to determine the streams to be studied by detailed <br />methods. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Study Contractor (SC), <br />FEMA, and the community. <br /> <br />On August 23, 1988, the results of the original study for Routt County were reviewed <br />and accepted at a final coordination meeting attended by representatives of the SC, <br />FEMA, and the community. <br /> <br />Restudy <br /> <br />An initial Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) meeting was held on <br />March 18, 1999, and was attended by representatives of FEMA, the CWCB, TC&B, <br />the City of Steamboat Springs, and the Routt County Planning Department. <br /> <br />The results of the countywide restudy were reviewed at the final CCO meeting held on <br />January 7, 2004, and attended by representatives of FEMA and the communities. All <br />problems raised at that meeting have been addressed in this study. <br /> <br />2.0 AREA STUDIED <br /> <br />2.1 Scope of Study <br /> <br />This FIS covers the geographic area of Routt County, Colorado, including the <br />incorporated communities listed in Section 1.1. The areas studied by detailed methods <br />were selected with priority given to all known flood hazards and areas of projected <br />development. <br /> <br />Town of Hayden <br /> <br />Flooding caused by the overflow of the Yampa River and Dry Creek was studied in <br />detail under Inter-Agency Agreement Nos. IAA-H-12-16 and IAA-H-28-75, Project <br />Order Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Flooding on small tributaries to Dry Creek and <br />shallow flooding caused by ponding of runoff were studied by approximate methods. <br />Areas of approximate study were reviewed in this manner because of the lack of <br />development within the drainage areas. <br /> <br />Special hydrologic studies of the J. C. Temple Reservoir were prepared to determine <br />the effects of the dam on potential flood hazards in the Town of Hayden. The reservoir <br />is located in the Dry Creek Basin, approximately 4 miles south of the town. <br /> <br />A Letter of Map Revision issued February 22, 1994 (Case No. 94-08-002P), revised <br />the approximate floodplain boundary along Walker and Shelton Ditches from <br />approximately 800 feet south of the intersection of Shelton Lane and Washington <br />Avenue to Lincoln Avenue. <br /> <br />4 <br />
