In fact. it is reasonable to <br />conclude that the damage from this lire caused. or at least increased. the effects from <br />these stonns. The- hydraulic and hydrologic conclusions suggest these storms were likely <br />less than 2-year ewnts me:aning they were: relatively common storms experienced by the <br />area. It is also reasonable to conclude that unde-r pre-tire circumstances. only minor <br />flooding or no damagt: would have occurred as a n:sult of these stornlS. <br /> <br />llte wildtires within. and adj,lccnt. to the subject study area created a signilicant adverse <br />ctfect on the hydrologic response of the burned watershed(s). There is a great concern <br />for increased storm and runofT-related natural hazards due to the- destruction ofwgelation <br />in conjunction with the possible dewlopment of hydrophohic (water repellent) soils in <br />tht: burned forested art:as. DO\\.nstream property o\\ners. citizens. motorists. and other <br />parties will be exposed to a greatly increased risk of floods. mudslides. and debris llows <br />compared with pre-lire conditions. Concerned parties shlluld contact thl.'ir local <br />lloodplain administrator \\ithin their eJTccted community. or county. for additional <br />in!(lrn13tion. Local emergency response- and emergency management agencies are <br />responsible I(lr initially handling emergencies if and when they occur.

In addition. the eWeR can <br />provide low interest loans throug.h the CWCI-rs Construction l.oan Program in the evcnt <br />that a project sponsor dc-sires to design and implement a cost-elfective flo<."ld hazard <br />mitigation project for any flood-prone areas. <br /> <br />ICON Englrtee'rlng, Inca <br />8 <br /> <br />FeDruory cOOS <br />
