<br />. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Wiley, Colorado has suffered flood damages three times since 1994. The area was <br />included in the federally declared disaster #DR-1186-CO. The purpose of this report is to <br />apply for a Hazard Mitigation Grant. Included in this report are the grant application, <br />attachments, environmental review, alternative development and evaluation, a description <br />of the proposed project, cost estimates, cost-effectiveness and technical information. <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board and Prowers County, Colorado with the <br />assistance of Kiowa Engineering Corporation recently completed this Flood Hazard <br />Mitigation Study for the Town of Wiley. The Study examines four alternatives to reduce <br />flooding in the Town. The alternatives considered flood proofing existing structures, <br />construction of a bridge and channel, constructing a levee system and maintaining the <br />existing conditions. After evaluation, the most viable option is to construct flood control <br />levees. The levees will protect existing residential development from floods up to the 100- <br />year frequency. The levee system was the least expensive of any improvement alternative <br />and has a Benefit - Cost ration of over 1.4. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
