<br />Presently, portions of Clear Creek are considered to have
<br />a high flood damage potential. The preservation of the floodplain
<br />will serve, at least, to maintain the present level of damage po-
<br />tential while any improvements will minimize or reduce the flood
<br />damage potential. Reducing the flood hazard potential can be
<br />accomplished through structural improvements to bridges and
<br />channels, flood proofing, and by intrOducing an operational and
<br />effective floodplain management program.
