Flood <br />(July 1968 prices) <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />Item <br /> <br />Amount <br /> <br />Urban and suburban: <br /> <br />Residential <br />Business <br />Schools and churches <br />Utilities <br />Public property <br /> <br />$1,902,000 <br />947,000 <br />155,000 <br />208,000 <br />118,000 <br /> <br />Subtotal <br /> <br />$3,330,000 <br /> <br />Agricultural property <br /> <br />Improvements <br />Crops <br /> <br />247,000 <br />166,000 <br /> <br />Subtotal $ <br /> <br />413,000 <br /> <br />Total Damages <br /> <br />31,000 <br />40,000 <br />112,000 <br />199,000 <br /> <br />$4,125,000 <br /> <br />Streets and highways <br />Railroad <br />Business and financial losses <br />Emergency costs <br /> <br />The average annual damages that could be expected to occur from future <br />floods were estimated from discharge-damage-frequency relations <br />developed from information gathered during field investigations for <br />the project document. This information has been updated to reflect <br />July 1968 prices and conditions. The revised discharge-damage and <br />damage-frequency relations are shown on plate number 34. A reanalysis <br />of the potential of the Las Animas area indicates, (1) that the future <br />growth allowance for urban improvements would be 92.7.p~r~ent, (2) <br />changes in improvements in the non-urban flood plain are expected to <br />increase the average annual damages by 40 percent as a result of <br />future growth, and (3) that technological advances would increase crop <br />production during the next 100 years by 132 percent; therefore, the <br />future growth allowance for accelerated growth at 3-1/4 percent interest <br />rate would be 85 percent of the agricultural damages to crops under <br />present conditions. <br /> <br />The total average annual damages to the existing development amount to <br />$87,400, of which $62,930 or 72 percent are urban, $7,870 or 9 percent <br />are crop, and 16,600 or 19 percent are other improvements. The average <br />annual damages without and with the plan of improvement and the <br />evaluated benefits, including future growth, are shown in table 11. <br /> <br />51 <br />
