Affected counties include: Fremont, Douglas, Mesa, and Pueblo. <br />Douglas County sustained the most damage from a very significant event that closed <br />State Highway 67 for several months. <br /> <br />Each county experienced various degreesoftlooding and damage. The event in Mesa <br />County, east of Grand Junction, was the only studied event that had a death attributed to <br />the storm. The varying amounts of precipitation caused different levels of damage to <br />each area. Most counties had: damage to: structures, roads, culverts, bridges, public <br />facilities such as parks, and personal and commercial property damage. <br /> <br />This report summarizes the 2006 flood events that took place in the state of Colorado. In <br />no way is this report intended to review every event that took place during the year, but <br />specific events that the Colorado Water Conservation Board wanted a closer look at. It <br />investigates the key factors of a flood event such as: hydrologic and hydraulic <br />characteristics, storm facts and location, estimated flood damages, mitigation, and a <br />description of any areas that were underwater or impacted by the flood. Additional <br />support information found, such as pictures, maps, etc, was also included in each chapter. <br /> <br />ICON Engineering, Inc <br /> <br />June 2007 <br />
