<br />much of it is not recorded as flood-related work. No reliable <br />assessment of private losses has been made for past floods in the <br />study reach. Therefore, past flood costs cannot be relied upon <br />to check current estimates. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />There are 205 structures in the 500-year flood plain which <br />would be affected by inundation. Table 3 presents information <br />about the number of structures and contents in the lO-, 50-, <br />lOO-, and 500-year flood plains and their values. <br /> <br /> TABLE 3 <br />DAMAGE INVENTORY SUMMARY <br />Item Flood Plain <br /> lo-yr 50-yr 100-yr 500-yr <br />Number of structures <br />Residential 64 142 173 201 <br />Commercial/Industrial/Public --1 ----1. -1 ~ <br />Total 65 l43 l76 205 <br />Value ($1,000) <br />Residential . <br />structures 1,600 3,520 4,400 5,270 <br />Contents 800 l,760 2,200 2,640 <br />commercial/Industrial/Public <br />structures lO 10 130 l60 <br />Contents 0 0 120 150 <br />Total 2,410 5,290 6,850 8,020 <br /> <br />The flood damages shown in Table 3 are based on the field <br />inventory of structures, their contents, and the first floor <br />elevations of the structures. The structure values were <br />estimated separately from land values. Damages to structures and <br />contents were then estimated using depth-damage relationships. <br /> <br />Table 4 presents the expected damages for various frequency <br />floods in the study reach. This information was used to <br />determine average annual damages which are approximately $92,000 <br />under without-project conditions. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />. <br />
