Water Supply Finance and Construction Program -Project Data Grantee: Colorado Water Conservation Board County: Statewide Project Name: Colorado Flood Response Program Fund (revised) Project Type: Program Funds for post event floodplain mapping, flood forecasting, aerial photography, flood mitigation and flood documentation Drainage Basin: .~11 River Basins in Colorado Total Project Cost: $300,000 Water Source: N/.~ Funding Source: CWCB Const. Fund Type of Grantee: State Government Median Household income: N/A C~?~'CB Non-Reimbursable Inv.: $;00,000 (up to) Interest Rate: N/A Term: N/A SUMMARY At the CWCB November 20-21, 2000 meeting, staff provided the Board with an overview of the CWCB Flood Response Program. The staff's November 2000 presentation to the Board outlined the objective, discussion, and benefits that the Program would provide to the State. A $150,000 Flood Response Program was authorized in the 2001 Construction Fund Bill (SB 01-157) and enacted by the Colorado General Assembly. This amount was increased in the 20007 Construction Fund Bill (SB 087-122) to $300,000 to reflect the additional cost of performing existing program functions and the addition of newly added services under the program. The fund was created to give the Flood Protection Section of the CWCB ability to quickly respond and have program funds in the areas of: flood documentation, flood forecasting and outlooks, post event floodplain mapping, aerial photography, and flood mitigation. The current request is to to refresh the fund up to $300,000 for FY 08/09 for: 1) preparation of individual flood documentation reports for actual events in Colorado, 2) contracts with consulting firms for Colorado Flood Task Force flood forecasting and weather outlooks during the spring/summer flood season, plus aweb-based daily flood threat bulleting with tailored regional flood outlook reports, 3) ongoing work and increased demand for evaluating and producing 100-year flood and debris flow hazards in areas affected by flooding or other natural hazards, 4) develop scopes of work and projects for flood mitigation activities in communities where flood loss reduction is needed, and ~) develop on-call services for digital and aerial photographs and mapping for post-flood documentation and flood hazard identification. In addition, recently added capabilities include aweb-based Daily Flood Threat Bulletin for statewide use that enhances National Weather Setti~ice products and provides tailored regional flood outlooks. In addition, there is a continuing need to re-evaluate flood hydrology and hydraulics for use in floodplain studies that become part of Colorado's Map Modernization program.
