Montgomery Watson has analyzed flood hazards and floodplain management plans in 55 <br />communities in six states. Montgomery Watson has served as one of FEMA's study con- <br />tractors for over 17 years, and is currently conducting the Utah County, Utah flood insur- <br />ance re-study for FEMA Region VIII. <br /> <br />. Montgomery Watson has prepared over 30 complete flood control master plans for <br />communities in the western United States, recommending a wide array of structural and <br />non-structural solutions. <br /> <br />. Montgomery Watson has completed five major river restoration projects and over 20 lo- <br />cal channel rehabilitation projects. These projects have dealt with challenging site condi- <br />tions (mining sites, severe erosion, alignment and geometry constraints) as well as chal- <br />lenging institutional conditions (conflicting project objectives, adversarial stakeholders, <br />property ownership). <br /> <br />. Montgomery Watson has stayed abreast of current developments in floodplain manage- <br />ment and river rehabilitation philosophies and approaches through active involvement in <br />state and national professional associations. Staff members have served as instructors at <br />floodplain management seminars and workshops. <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS <br /> <br />Colorado Water Development Study <br />Colorado Farm Bureau <br /> <br />Montgomery Watson was retained by the Colorado Farm Bureau to prepare the Colorado Water <br />Development Study. The objective of this study was to provide an overview of existing and <br />future water supplies and demands throughout the state, and to prepare a needs assessment for <br />statewide water resources planning information and water development projects. Using avail- <br />able information, population and water demand projections were made to the year 2100 and <br />compared to existing available supplies in the municipal & industrial, agricultural, and environ- <br />mental sectors as well as the requirements of interstate compacts. A statewide survey of all <br />significant water users and developers was conducted to assess existing system yields, future <br />proposed water development projects, and perceived threats and opportunities to developing <br />new supplies. Findings were summarized by State Water Division, and were coordinated with <br />the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Expected statewide approaches for meeting future <br />water needs were identified, including new storage projects, transfer of water rights from agri- <br />cultural to M&I uses, water exchanges, increased conservation and wastewater reuse, conjunc, <br />tive surface,ground water use projects, and demand management. Strategies for Farm Bureau <br />participation in regional and statewide water resources planning activities were suggested. <br />Subsequent to the formal Water Development Study, Montgomery Watson supported the Farm <br />Bureau and other water development agencies in investigating potential cooperative efforts for <br />statewide water resources planning. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />MONTGOMERY WATSON <U) <br />
