Gingery is currently doing a flood hazard <br /> study for the Colorado Water Conservation Board (State Coordination Agency) <br /> and will be developing all four profiles on both the Colorado and Roaring <br /> Fork. ' They will not be developing the floodway for CWCB but a cursory <br /> analysis by Gingery will probably show that the floodway is contained by <br /> the channel banks. On July 24, 1977, approximately 1. 8 inches of rain fell <br /> in 30 minutes and caused some large mud slide (flow) areas, especially on <br /> the east side of the city, Early damage estimates were $2,000,000. Even <br /> though much of the damage was caused by mud and debris and the drainage areas <br /> are generally much less than one square mile in area, we should study these <br /> areas by the approximate method and delineate the hazard areas as Zone A <br /> -- <br /> rather than B unless we can begin to use Zones M or N. <br /> - <br /> - <br /> . ..+....'6 <br /> . /' <br />Coplos to: Washington, D.
