<br />Mapping Plan for Colorado <br /> <br />for the fire affected counties. The CWCB has taken note of eleven of the 64 counties in Colorado where <br />fires have severely affected watersheds. This is such a serious matter in the eyes of the CWCB that those <br />counties have been assigned points in the scoring methodology. Counties with fire impacts in 2002 <br />received scores of 5, while those with no fire impacts received scores of O. Six of the fire-impacted <br />counties are in the "top 16 counties" list, in part as a result of this parameter. Figure 8 shows Colorado <br />Counties impacted by significant fires in 2002. <br /> <br />Figure 8 <br /> <br />Wildfire Impacted Counties <br /> <br />Wildfire Impact <br />DO <br />_3 <br /> <br /> <br />Sedgwick <br /> <br />Moffat <br /> <br />Weld <br /> <br />Logan <br /> <br />Phillips <br /> <br />Morgan <br /> <br />Yuma <br /> <br />Washington <br /> <br />Kit Carson <br /> <br />Elbert <br /> <br />Cheyenne <br /> <br />Kiowa <br /> <br />Prowers <br /> <br />Baca <br /> <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />100 Miles <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />.-t, <br /> <br />f;.M1~l1t~~ <br /> <br />Note: The above scores are weighted. Weighting of individual parameters is explained below. <br /> <br />6.8 Assigning Weights to Individual Parameters <br /> <br />For all seven parameters scores of 0 to 5 or of 1 to 5 were assigned to each county. CWCB staff <br />determined that the parameters were not all of equal importance. It was decided that no parameter should <br />have a weight greater than 2.0 or a weight less than 0.5. Three parameters, population, CWCB rating of <br />likelihood of success, and population growth, were deemed from the beginning to be more important that <br />any other parameters. Two parameters, unmapped status and wildfire impacts, were deemed to be less <br />important than any other parameters. That left two parameters in the middle of the weighting scale. <br />Those two parameters are CWCB risk rating and age of maps. <br /> <br />12/26/2002 <br /> <br />Page 25 of 38 <br />
