<br />, <br /> <br />National Weather Service NOAA Atlas '2 'Precipitation-Frequency Atlas <br />of the We~tern United States' Volume III-Colorado, U.S. Department of <br />Commerce, NOAA, National Weather Service, Silver Springs, Maryland, <br />1973, ~hich is hereby incorporated by reference into this Rule and <br />does not include later alllOndments to our editions of the incorporated <br />material; or other methods approved by the State Engineer, are used to <br />determine the 100-year -precipitation. When uSing precipitation data <br />for determining probable future ~ater f10~s, the analysis shall <br />consider ~hether such precipitation occurred as rain or sno~, and the <br />magnitude, duration and frequency of precipitation. <br /> <br />S.A.(S)(d)(I)(E) The National Weather Service, NOAA, <br />Atlas '2 'Precipitation-Frequency Atlas of the Western United States' <br />Volume III-Colorado, U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, National <br />Weather Service. Silver Springs, Maryland, 1973, is hereby incor- <br />porated by reference into this rule, and does not include later <br />amendments to, or editions of, the incorporated material, 1973, or <br />other documents approved by the State Engineer, may be used for <br />determining the 100-year precipitation for calculating the 100-year <br />flood. <br /> <br />Rule S.A.(5)(d)(I)(F) Whenever a determination of the <br />SO-year or 25-year flood is appropriate, the same principles of Rule <br />5.A.(5)(d) apply. <br /> <br />5.A.(5)(d)(II) Whenever a determination of probable future <br />surface ~ater flows, or the probability of frequency' of their <br />recurrence, at any place In Colorado is required by relation to a <br />longer period than that for ~hlch there is a reliable record of flows <br />as defined in (I) above (e.g., flows resulting from Probable Maximum <br />Precipitation), the determination shall be made by interpolation and <br />correlation of known records to the longer period by relating known <br />records of ~ater basins as similar as reasonably possible to the place <br />of determination or basin under consideration, or by use of geologic <br />determinations, or determining Probable Maximum Precipitation by use <br />of other methods reasonably calculated to formulate an accurate <br />estimate of probable future flows or the probability of frequency of <br />their recurrence at the place of determination of such flows. The <br />following method. or other methods approved by the State Engineer, are <br />acceptable: <br /> <br />5.A.(S)(d)(II)(A) Site specific hydrometeoro10gic <br />analysis, following procedures used by the National Weather Service, <br />to transpo.e large historical storms to the drainage basin under con- <br />sideratio~ to determine the Probable Maximum Precipitation. Snowmelt <br />conditions shall be considered as base flow when appropriate. <br /> <br />- 18 - <br />
