For stream segments <br />for which a floodway is computed (Section 4.2), selected cross <br />section locations are also shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway <br />Map (Exhibit 2). <br /> <br />A proposed tailings pond on the east side of Silverton (Reference 10) <br />is presently under construction. In the vicinity of the new tailings <br />pond, State Highway 110 and Animas River channel have been relocated. <br />The new locations of State Highway 110 and Animas River were con- <br />sidered in the hydraulic analyses. <br /> <br />9 <br />
