<br /> TABLE 2* <br /> HISTORICAL PEAK DISCHARGES <br /> ARKANSAS RIVER - LAKE COUNTY, COLORADO <br /> USGS STRE.'IMGAGE (07086000) <br />Year Date Dischflrl":e (cfs) <br />1897 June 4 2410 <br />1917 June 19 2540 <br />1918 June 11 2630 <br />1924 June 16 2900 <br />1938 June 6 2320 <br />1947 June 24 2900 <br />1952 June S 2910 <br />1951 June 28 5360 <br />1970 N.A. 2650 <br />1975 N.A. 2580 <br />1978 June 16 2830 <br />1979 June 29 2460 <br /> <br />By the analytic methods used in the hydrology report for <br />this study, it is possible to equate the flood of recOl:d for <br />both Lake Creek and the Arkansas River to an analogous <br />fl:equency storm. The June 10, 1952 flood of record of 3150 <br />cfs on Lake Cl:eek corresponds to an approximate 4Q-year <br />frequency storm at the gage site. On the Arkansas River, <br />the June 28, 1957 flood of record of 5360 cfs corresponds to <br />greater than a IOOO-year frequency storm at the gage site. <br />By methods outlined in the hydrologic analysis of this <br />report, these storms could be transferred to the study <br />reaches fOl: a more accurate representation of flooding in <br />the study area. <br /> <br />TABLE 3* <br /> <br />HISTORICAL PEAK DISCHARGES <br />LAKE CREEK - LAKE COU~TY, COLORADO <br />USGS STREA~GAGE (07084500) <br /> <br />Year <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />nischarp,e (cfs) <br />2490 <br />2580 <br />3150 <br />2190 <br />2650 <br />2160 <br />2030 <br />2570 <br /> <br />1946 <br />1947 <br />1952 <br />1957 <br />1965 <br />1970 <br />1972 <br />1978 <br /> <br />June 10 <br />June 8 <br />June 10 <br />June 28 <br />June 20 <br />May 27 <br />June 7 <br />June 15 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(Information for Table 2 and 3 taken from Reference 2) <br /> <br />Nu historicsl streamgage data exist~ for the study reach on <br />Evanl; Gulch. <br /> <br />~13- <br /> <br />-14- <br />
