st.-uctu.-ein'lolved.

A p.-onounced increase in flow velocities usually

occu.-s downstream from an obstruction, thus increa~ing the flood's
damage pot~~tial. Obstructive new developnent and future land fills
in or near the stre~ms' floodway can be ~ major factor in multiplying
the adverse effects described above.
Estimated future flood crests and pertinent elevations
at bridge crossings and culverts within the study area are listed

in Table 4. rcr
limited clogging

purposee ",f this .stool', it ha~ b,,~n assll!'Oed that
can be expected and that all bridge structures and

culverts would remain intact.

Significant changes in this premise,

imposed bY,differing COnditions of a future flood, could alter the
estimated flOod crests and flood limits shown in the table and
related plates.
