e . . topographic mapping will have to be obligated by the appropriate local entities to allow this limited funding to as many stream miles as possible. Matching funds will be sought from the U,S, Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA for hydrologic analyses and/or hydraulic analyses, as appropriate, for the same reason, Some example requests from various communities throughout Colorado are listed in Table 1 below, Table 1 Floodplain Mapping Program - Representative local requests for CWCB assistance Communi Name EI Paso Count Lake Count Rio Grande County, Del Norte, Monte Vista Conejos County Stream Name s Black S uirrel Creek and tributaries Arkansas River and tributaries Rio Grande Conejos River and tributaries, Alamosa River Florida River, Junction Creek, VaIlecito Creek, La Plata River, Rock Creek ???? La Plata County Grand Junction Overall List of Proposed Floodplain Mapping Projects Attached to this memo is a tabulation of floodplain mapping needs throughout Colorado, assembled July 2001. This tabulation provided the starting point for considering specific mapping projects, The first column shows the mapping need ranking for each potential project. For example, # 1 (Gypsum) was judged to be the most significant floodplain mapping need, independent of whether Gypsum would find partners to help complete the project, and/or provide a local match of some kind, and/or independent of any potential (as of July 1, 2000) or partially completed mapping projects funded by other agencies such as FEMA. The other columns in the table provide information about the location, the county, possible partnering/cost-sharing, the reasons why the study is needed, and pertinent comments, Since the time this table was begun (July 1,2001), some things had either changed or evolved, Several mapping projects involving FEMA had progressed (e.g, the Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps, called DFIRMs, for Jefferson County and municipalities). Projects funded by last year's floodplain mapping moneys (available from this year's Construction Fund allocation on July I, 2001) are in the initial engineering stages, The ranking for this year's priority list has not been adjusted yet, but once those projects have been completed, adjustments will be made, Some communities for which state or federal work is underway are listed below: 1) GypsumlEagle County 2) El Paso County (Black Squirrel Creek) 3) Gunnison County 4) Basalt 5) Weld County (St. Vrain Creek) 6) El Paso County (Fountain Creek) 7 Otis 8) Delta County 9) Greeley 10) Pierce Rank 1 &2 Rank 3 Rank 4 Rank 5 Rank 6 Rank 7 Rank 1 I Rank 12 Rank 14 Rank 16 ~
