<br />, ~ <br /> <br />~17" --, ~, <br />!~ <br /> <br />documentation information need to be prepared. This documentation effort will include .. '. <br />preparing floodplain mapping for communities that have poor mapping or no mapping or <br />verifYing existing mapping that proves to be "good." CWCS staff is working with the Colorado <br />Association of Stormwater and Floodplain Managers (CASFM) to prepare "Floodplain <br />Management 101" workshops to assist local officials in understanding how to meet their local <br />floodplain management responsibilities. <br /> <br />When spring comes and local Road and Bridge Departments have less snow-removal <br />responsibilities, CWCS staff expects to provide some assistance regarding bridges and culverts <br />and overall drainage patterns. The floods showed what drainage systems functioned well, and <br />what systems need some improvement. If funds permit, some of those improvements will be <br />undertaken. <br /> <br />Hazard Mitil!ation Grant Prol!ram <br /> <br />The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides 15% of the Disaster damage amount <br />(currently the 15% is estimated to be approximately $2 million) for mitigation projects. These <br />are projects which would make the situation better than it was before the floods. FEMA's <br />current preferences are for projects which take an non-structural approach to flooding problems <br />such as, elevation of existing floodprone buildings, acquisition and relocation of existing <br />floodprone buildings, and acquisition and demolition of existing floodprone buildings for <br />conversion of the area to open space. <br /> <br />In the Fall of 199752 Notices ofInterest (NOr's) in applying for HMGP funds were submitted . <br />by various local entities. A technical panel reviewed all of the NOI's and selected 8 candidate <br />projects to prepare full applications. The 8 candidate projects are: <br /> <br />. Fort Collins Flood Warning Program <br />. Fort Collins Floodproofmg Program <br />. West Vine Floodplain Project (Larimer County) <br />. SterlingILogan County Floodplain Project <br />· Weldona Floodplain & Drainage Project (Morgan County) <br />· Wiley Floodplain Project (Prowers County) <br />. Canon City Floodplain Project <br />. Pueblo Flood Warning Program <br /> <br />The CWCS staff has been very busy providing technical assistance to complete the HMGP <br />process. <br /> <br />L:/BOARDMEM/JAN98/ AGENDA-20A <br /> <br />. , <br /> <br />. <br />
