<br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.' <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />II <br /> <br />crossings on both Second and Third Creeks will be overtopped <br /> <br />during the IOO-year flood event and, as a result, will be damaged. <br /> <br />Significant flood hazards are created on and north of Second and <br /> <br /> <br />Third Creeks as a result of insufficient hydraulic capacities at <br /> <br /> <br />the Fulton Ditch, the Union Pacific Railroad and U.S. 85. Struc- <br /> <br /> <br />tural improvements at these locations coupled with increased <br />channel capacity between these locations would greatly reduce <br />existing flood hazards. <br /> <br />Presently, both streams are considered to have an overall low <br /> <br /> <br />flood damage potential. The preservation and/or improvement of <br /> <br /> <br />the flood plain will serve to maintain and even reduce the <br /> <br /> <br />present low flood damage potential. This can be accomplished <br /> <br /> <br />through structural improvements to culverts and channels, flood <br /> <br /> <br />proofing, land use regulation, and an operational and effective <br /> <br /> <br />flood plain management program. <br />
