13 .ewCB - Statewide DrainageiFloodplain Manaaement C~teria Manual Authorization: FY 2001 Grant Amount: $150,000 Water Source: N/ A Project Type: Flood Control Location: Statewide Project Manager: Tom Browning , To aid in the effort to minimize flood loss vulner~bility and related economic impacts we are planning to prepare a Statewide DrainagelFloodplain Managenj.ent Criteria Manual. The manual will help flood managers.statewide to map and designate flood hazard areas, determine streams susceptible to severe erosion and bank instability, identify flood mitigation measures, ~repare floodplain management plans, and assist local communities to establish consistent guidelines and criteoa regarding flood related engineering standards. An RFP has been advertised, and consultant selection will occur by the end of January 2001. This is approximately a one-year contract. . CWCB - Internet Flood Page and Flood Task Force Authorization: FY 200 1 Water Source: N/A Location: Statewide Prant Amount: $10,000 project Type; Flood Control project Manager: Carolyn Fritz The Flood Task Force is made up of 15 federal~ state and private sector meteorology and hydrology experts who contribute to an annual Colorado Flood Outlook. A monthly Flood Outlook Report and daily flood data are posted on the CWCB web page. The snowmelt runoff data and flood outlooks assist water users and others to prepare for floods, aid manageq1ent plann~g, and aid stream diversion operations to reduce flood losses. : CWCB - Floodplain Mapoina Authorization; FY 2001 Water Source: N/A Location: Statewide , Grant Ainount: $30,000 ,Project Type: Flood Mapping Project Manager: Tom Browning . The Flood Protection Program's role is to minimize Colorado's flood loss vulnerability and related economic impacts. This is accomplished by mapping floodplains, determination of stream hydraulic and hydrologic characteristics, the identification of 100-year floodplain areas, the preparation of floodplain management plans, and by assisting local communities to establish flood mitigation measures. This grant will I specifically assist with floodplain mapping projects ,n the Town of Pierce, Eagle County, the City of Blackhawk, and the Town of Otis. ) CWCB - River Multi-Obiective Proiects Authorization: FY 2001 Water Source: Location: Fountain Creek Grant Amount: $50,000 ; Project Type: Multi-Objective Study i Project Manager: Brian Hyde Colorado's floodplains have many competing !interests for their use. During a flood, the stream channel and its floodplain serve as a floodwater conveY4nce path. Under normal flow regimes, the stream and floodplain serve as wildlife habitat, components of watet supply systems, and opportunities and constraints for various land-use activities. Following a major flood event or a stream use issue/concern, the Board will consider a request for a Multi-Objective study/project. The project is seoped to address multi-objective management, stream flood issues, and development of:mitigatioti measures for problems that are identified. For this fiscal year the Board has received a request for a Fountain Creek GIS study. The request for the proposed study was developed following the 1999 floodjevent.
