Flood profiles show the water depths relative to the stream bed. The flood profiles and flooded area data presented are based upon future, developed conditions in the basin, as determined from current master planning maps. Possible future improvements to control floods are not a consideration of this report. Acknowledgments The report was prepared by Sellards & Grigg, Inc., Consulting Engineers, Lakewood, Colorado, under contract with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. The hydrology was prepared by McCall - Ellingson & Morrill, Inc. under a separate contract with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District as part of the Phase A report for Lakewood and McIntyre Gulches in 1976 (Ref. 3). The information presented herein does not imply any State ac- tion to zone or regulate the use of flood plains. The District has the authority to regulate flood plains, but to date has chosen to leave flood plain regulation responsibility with local governments. The report provides a suitable basis for the adoption of land use controls to guide flood plain manage- ment. The survey control, aerial photography, topographic mapping, and the base plan and profile sheets used in this report were prepared by Bell Mapping Company, Denver, Colorado, under a separate contract with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. Flood water surface elevations and flood plain boundaries are often revised by road and bridge construction, flood plain de- velopment, flood control improvements, or natural processes. Prior to utilization of this report for planning or design purposes, the user is advised to contact the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District or the Colorado Water Conservation Board to determine whether or not the information in this report has been amended.
