<br />1972 report. The 100-year flood depths of this study for the San <br />Miguel River range from 4 to 7 feet. The differences noted between the <br />studies were discussed with Woodward-Clevenger and Associates and it <br />was agreed that the present Flood Insurance Study is more accurate <br />because of the availability of more recent topographic mapping and a <br />better hydraulic model. <br /> <br />The flood studies of Wing Engineering, Inc., and the Institute of <br />Arctic and Alpine Research contained discharges for Cornet Creek and <br />the San Miguel River, respectively. Based on a discussi.on with the <br />regional FEMA Technical Representative, the differences in the <br />hydrologic results of the above-mentioned flood studies and the current <br />Flood Insurance Study for San Miguel County were attributed to improved <br />hydrologic methodologies prepared by the study contractor. <br /> <br />Because of its more detailed analysis, this study supersedes the Flood <br />Hazard Boundary Maps for San Miguel County. <br /> <br />8.0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in the preparat ion of <br />this study can be obtained by contacting the Natural and Technological <br />Hazards Division, FEMA, Denver Federal Center, ~uilding 710, Box 25267, <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267. <br /> <br />9.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES <br /> <br />1.
