During the 100- <br />year storm event approximately 36 homes will be located within the 1 DO-year <br />floodplain. For the 1 O-year event, a flow of 1,544 cfs will occur at the <br />downstream reach without overtopping the Monroe Avenue Bridge and will be <br />contained within the banks of the main channel. The HEC-RAS model indicates <br />that the 1,000 cfs flow from SLRC's non-storm operation mode (after removal of <br />the existing railroad culvert) will be completely contained within the banks of the <br />main channel and will not result in flooding. The City of Loveland plans to <br />replace the Monroe Avenue Bridge to alleviate the flooding problems associated <br />with the 1 DO-year storm event in 2008. The 100-year storm event flooding issue <br />should not affect the construction schedule of the improvements proposed by <br />SLRC since SLRC does not intend to use the full capacity of the north Lake <br />Loveland outlet works during such storms. The need to use the safe hydraulic <br />capacity of the Dry Creek railroad-crossing bridge would be generated by a <br />mountain snow event rather than a local 1 OO-year storm event. SLRC's higher <br />operational flows through Dry Creek would not be coincidental with a storm flow. <br />The Lake Loveland North Outlet Control gate has been automated and is <br />equipped with an autodialing alarm system to insure that routine irrigation <br />operations do not exacerbate downstream flooding during a storm event. <br /> <br />D. Water Demands <br />The scope of this project includes the replacement of an existing deteriorated 100- <br />year old railroad crossing culvert structure within the SLRC/GLlC system. No <br />additional water supplies, above or beyond that which has been legally decreed, <br />will be developed in connection with this project. No additional storage capacities <br />will be created. The use of the water will not change as a result of this project. The <br />project will not increase the Company's water storage or supply beyond that water <br />legally decreed. <br /> <br />19 <br />
