<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ExecutIVe SUIDIDary <br /> <br />This study was authorized by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) under Section <br />37-60-106 (1) (e) of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Under this statute, the CWCB has the power <br />and duty "to devise and formulate methods, means and plans for bringing about the greater <br />utilization of the waters of the state and the prevention of flood damages therefrom." <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to summarize specific flood events that occurred throughout <br />Colorado during 2001 by conducting interviews and performing other data collection tasks, <br />performing data analysis, and summarizing this information in a report, <br /> <br />The CWCB initially identified a number of individual flood events during the flood season, July <br />through September of 2001, The identified events are located along the Front Range, in the <br />eastern plains, and in western Colorado. Figure ES-l shows the identified areas included in this <br />study, and Table ES-I lists the reported dates and type of storms, <br /> <br />Table ES-l <br /> <br />2001 Identified Flood Events <br /> <br />Type of Flooding <br /> <br />Highway interchange flooded <br />due to pump lift station failure, <br /> <br />Significant flooding due to <br />severe localized storm, <br /> <br />Holyoke Minimal flooding, but crops <br />damaged from hail. <br /> <br />MeekerlRio Blanco County Several storms over many <br />weeks caused moderate <br />flooding throughout the <br />County. <br /> <br />New Castle Significant flooding from <br />mudslides due to a severe <br />localized storm <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Colorado Springs <br /> <br />Greeley <br /> <br />Palisade/Grand Valley <br /> <br />Telluride to Placerville <br />(San Miguel County) <br /> <br />Date(s) of Flooding <br />August 31, 2001 <br /> <br />July 13,2001 <br /> <br />September 7, 2001 <br /> <br />mid-July to late August, 2001 <br /> <br />August 14, 200 1 <br /> <br />Moderate storm produced mud <br />slide affecting roadways. <br /> <br />Significant flooding due to <br />severe localized storm <br /> <br />September 13,2001 <br /> <br />August 8, 2001 <br /> <br />The floods reported in 2001 generally resulted from localized rainstorms consisting of short <br />duration, high intensity cloudbursts. No major flooding Statewide was reported, and, in general, <br />2001 was a relatively light flood year. Apparent damages include, but are not limited to, street <br />flooding, basement flooding, damage to vehicles, mud/debris accumulation, and other nuisance- <br />type damages. None of the affected communities have received a State or Federal disaster <br />declaration as a result of the flooding conditions, <br /> <br />The week between September 9 and September 17, 2001 appears to contain the greatest number <br />. of events including 4 of the 7 floods investigated within the State. <br /> <br />URS <br /> <br />T'\P1lOJECT__CWCBfLOOD_OOC_RPTSlSUB_llClIll.O_PROJ_DEUVlREPOIU'FINAl.
