Informal meetings were also, held by the study contractor with representatives of two engi~eering firms, Aspen Engineering and Gilbert Meyer & Sons, Inc."who had performed previous drainage studies in the project area, A meeting with the developer of Hawk Ridge Estates on Loy Gulch was held on September 13, 1984, to discuss the level of proposed development on the upper Lay Gulch basin. A change in scope was implemented following a request from both the county and the City of Woodland Park in Septemb~r 1984 to perform a detailed study on the lower reach of Fountain, Creek and on Lovell Gulch instead of a detailed study on the upper! reaches of Trout Creek. The hydrologic methods to b~ used were discussed at a meeting held on October 31, 1984, and attended by representatives of FEMA, the Colorado Water Conservation: Board (CWCB), the study contractor, the affected communities, local engineering firms, and a local developer. Agreement was reached on the methods to be used. Coordination of the project, included the provision of base mapping in certain areas by the co~unity and developer in order to improve the final product. ,The City of Woodland Park provided base maps for upper Fountain Creek, the developer of Hawk Ridge Estates provided a base map' for upper Loy Gulch, and the developer of a tract along Trout Cree~ provided a base map for a reach of Trout Creek. Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were coordinated with the CWCB. On December 11, 1986, the results of the study were discussed at the final community coordin~tion meeting, which was attended by representatives of FEMA, the study contractor, and the community. All significant problems vo~ced at that meeting have been addressed in this study. 2.0 AREA STUDIED 2.1 Scope of Study This Flood Insurance Study ~overs the geographic area of Teller County, Colorado. The area! of study is shown on the Vicinity Map (Figure 1). Detailed studies, covering a total of 11.4 stream miles were performed on Fountain Creek~ East Fork Fountain Creek, Trout Creek, Lay Gulch and two of!its tributaries, and Lovell Gulch. Fountain Creek was studied py detailed methods for 3.3 miles from the Teller-El Paso County l}ne upstream to the intersection of Pikes Peak Avenue and Park Street. East Fork Fountain Creek was studi'ed by det,ailed methodsi for 0.6 mile upstream from its confluence with Fountain Cr~ek. The hydraulic analysis of East Fork Fountain Creek was revised based on the modified discharges provided by J.F. Sato and Associates, Consulting Engineers. This work was completed by FEMA December 15, 1987. 2
