Surface <br />flow from the pond combined with street flows <br />caused an old and undersized storm drainage <br />system to be become surcharged. The pressure <br />was enough to collapse some lines resulting in <br />increased surface flow, street overtopping, <br />and subsidence problems. <br /> <br />Sources: Scott Munns, City Engineer <br />Longmont Times Call, 6/4/89, p. lA, 3A <br /> <br />Simpsons Draw north of Proctor <br />Skinner Draw north of Proctor <br /> <br />Between 4 and 6 inches of rain fell in the <br />South Platte River valley east of Lewis <br />Creek.
