<br />The COE has published a Flood Plain Information report for the Colorado <br />River, Rifle and Government Creeks, and Hubbard Gulch (Reference 2). <br />Due to the use of more recent topographic mapping and a revised hydrologic <br />analysis, this study supersedes that report. <br /> <br />ARIX Engineers prepared a Comprehensive Drainage Plan for the City of <br />Rifle in January 1982 (Reference 14) which presented laO-year discharges <br />and flood plain boundaries for Hubbard Gulch and Rifle and Government <br />Creeks. The same cross section data were used in both that report and <br />this Flood Insurance Study; however, in this study the data were supple- <br />mented with December 1982 field surveyed data. Discharges and flood <br />plain delineations are similar between that report and this Flood Insurance <br />Study. <br /> <br />A revised Flood Insurance Study is being prepared for the unincorporated <br />areas of Garfield County, Colorado (Reference 14), and is in agreement <br />with this study. <br /> <br />Under the direction of the CWCB in Denver, Colorado, the COE (Sacramento <br />District) and the SCS are developing flood plain studies for the Colorado <br />River and several tributaries in Garfield County. This study is not <br />expected to be completed for several years. <br /> <br />7.0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in the preparation of <br />this study can be obtained by contacting the Natural and Technological <br />Hazards Division, FEMA, Building 710, Denver Federal Center, Lakewood, <br />Colorado 80225. <br /> <br />8.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES <br /> <br />1.
