Jarrett. U.S. Geological Survey and Tom Browning, Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board <br />August xx, 2000 <br /> <br />I visited the Bobcat burned area on Saturday August 19th to document flooding for the rainstorm <br /> <br /> <br />of Wednesday August 16th for streams within the burned area and unburned area. In addition. I <br /> <br /> <br />used geomorphic techniques (hillslope erosion such as rilling and gullying) to help estimate the <br /> <br />rainfall in areas between raingages. While making flood estimates at Bobcat Gulch at the road <br /> <br /> <br />washout, I met Mr. Rich Shuri, president of the Cedar Park homeowner's association. Rich <br /> <br /> <br />contacted property owners asking for additional rainfall information. Photographs and <br /> <br /> <br />information about the Bobcat fire/flooding and numerous maps are provided at Mr. Shuri's web <br /> <br /> <br />sites (web address below). WE are monitoring rainstorms and runoff carefully to assist the <br /> <br /> <br />National Weather Service determine rainfall threshold amounts that produce hazardous flooding. <br /> <br /> <br />This information should be considered preliminary and subject to revision/modification with <br /> <br /> <br />additional data and detailed analyses. This rainstorm and flood documentation complements the <br /> <br /> <br />"Preliminary Flood Hazard Analysis Field Report. Bobcat Burn Area, June 28, 2000 by <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />THE STORM <br /> <br />There are two new precipitation gages. Storm Mountain (8M) and Green Mountain (GM).
