<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Master Study of the area would not be appropriate for use in <br />defining any floodplain for the South Pueblo area. With this in <br />mind we feel that the South Pueblo area does not have any more <br />serious flooding problems than many other areas of Pueblo, which <br />were not studied by the COE and that the COE therefore <br />overestimated the lOa-year flood hazard. We therefore recommend <br />that the previously defined laO-year flood hazard be el iminated <br />from future FIRM FIS maps. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I~ <br /> <br />Wild Horse Dry Creek <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Hydrology <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />For this stream the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) used <br />the publication "Manual for Estimating Flood Characteristics <br />of Natural Flow Streams in Colorado, Technical Manual Number <br />I" to develop peak discharges for the selected recurrence <br />interval floods. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Review of the CaE work confirms that the COE correctly <br />applied the procedures outlined in TM-I for this <br />determination. Comparison of the results of the CaE work <br />with other studies on Wild Horse Dry Creek show close <br />agreement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-9- <br /> <br />. <br />
