<br />Trout Creek was studied by detailed methods for 3.3 miles from the <br />U.S. Forest Service (USFS) bound~ry in Section 2, T12S, R69W, <br />downstream to its confluence with Mule Creek. Loy Gulch was <br />studied by detailed methods for 1.9 miles from its confluence with <br />Trout Creek upstream to the USFS!boundary in Section 13, TI2S, <br />R69W. The hydraulic analysis inithe Upper Reach of Loy Gulch was <br />revised based on field survey, r~cently submitted by Aspen <br />Engineering, Inc., to reflect the existing conditions. The <br />tributaries of Loy Gulch, referred to in this study as Paint Pony <br />and East Fork Paint Pony, were studied by detailed methods for a <br />total of 1.3 miles from their co~fluence with Loy Gulch to the <br />corporate limits of Woodland Par~. Lovell Gulch was studied by <br />detailed methods for 1.1 miles f~om its confluence with Loy Gulch <br />to the road junction in Section 7, T12S, R68W. <br /> <br />The areas studied by detailed me~hods were selected with priority <br />given to all known flood hazard areas and areas of projected <br />development or proposed construction through September 1990. <br /> <br />Approximate studies covering a tPtal of 26.1 stream miles were <br />performed on Trout Creek, Squaw 9ulch, Wilson Creek, Twin Creek, <br />Rule Creek, and Crystal Peak Cre~k and its tributaries. The <br />county selected the name of "Cryhal Peak Creek" for the unnamed <br />stream studied in west-central Teller County. <br /> <br />Approximate analyses were used to study those areas having a low <br />development potential or minimal' flood hazards. The scope and <br />methods of study were proposed to, and agreed upon by, FEMA and <br />Teller County ~ <br /> <br />On December 11, 1986, the result~ of the study were discussed at <br />the coordination meeting, which ~as attended by representatives of <br />FBMA, the study contractor, and the community. All significant <br />problems voiced at that meeting have been addressed in this study. <br /> <br />2.2 Community Description <br /> <br />Teller County is located in south-central Colorado. The City of <br />Woodland Park is a rural, resideptial community located in north- <br />eastern Teller County. The Cityiof Cripple Creek is located in <br />south-central Teller County.

The population of Cripple Creek <br />increased from 525 in 1970 to 655 in 1980. The population of <br />Teller County increased from 3,3~6 in 1970 to 8,034 in 1980. The <br />City of Woodland Park covered 2,204 acres at the end of 1983. It <br />is situated 55 miles south of Denver and 18 miles northwest of <br />Colorado Springs.
