<br />Colorado Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan - 1999 :==..:::
<br />
<br />In Federal FY-98, the fund provided $11,900 to Prowers problems are identified CGS staff recommend
<br />County for the development of a lor",l flood hazard delineations of the 1 DO-year floodplain for review by the
<br />mitigation plan, In addition, Prowers County received CWCB and any necessary changes in the plat or other
<br />$54,000 in project funds for a band stabilization and initiation,
<br />channel improvement project at the Cit)' of Lamar sewer i The CGS has assisted local governm""ts and their
<br />lagoons, Also, the City of FI. Collins received $52,000 In , staffs on education goals, There is a continuing need for
<br />project funds to assist In the Implementation of the Dry I such in.service training because of the relatively high
<br />Creek Flood Control ProJect, , turnover of local government officials and staff, The
<br />Examples of eligible projects include, 1) elevation of i CGS ,,>cognizes the authority of local governments to
<br />insured structures; 2) acquisition of insured structures' regulate land use within their jurisdiction, but if serious
<br />and real property; 3) relocation or demolition of insured problems are evident, CGS will inform the local
<br />structures; 4) dry flood proofing of ins:ured structures; government of the situation to be sure they are aware of
<br />5) minor, localized structural projects that are not it and the need to addre,;s il.
<br />fundable by state or other federal programs; and 6)
<br />other activities that bring an insured structure into 3,2.1.2,3
<br />compliance with floodplain management requirements in
<br />44 CFR 60,3 (NFIP Regulations),

<br />The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) completed the
<br />Colorado Landslide Hazard Mitigation Plan in 1988, The
<br />CGS continues to respond within existing programs to
<br />floodplain and geologic hazard man..gement goals,
<br />Salient points of continuing activities, <IS well as those
<br />that have been eliminated or curtailed, are described
<br />below,
<br />
<br />Block grant requests are now screened by the CGS by
<br />title and location, Only those thought to have serious
<br />potential geologic hazard or floodplain problems are .
<br />reviewed in detail.
<br />
<br />The CGS continues to review some State Building
<br />Division activities and all Colorado Department of Health
<br />referrals for review of sewage treatment plant sites,
<br />Because sewage treatment plants are fmquently located
<br />on or near floodplains, careful location and engineered
<br />protection are frequently needed, These reviews are a
<br />powerfUl tool for implementation of hazard
<br />management.
<br />
<br />The CGS also reviews all subdivision applications from
<br />unincorporated areas, This is a requimment of 5B 35
<br />and it is now operated under a cash-funded fee system,
<br />These reviews provide an
<br />excellent opportunity for
<br />hazard review and
<br />recommendations for local
<br />governments, When
<br />geologic hazard problems
<br />are identified CGS staff
<br />recommend plat changes
<br />and/or mitigation measures.

<br />: Colorado's Dam Safety Program is managed by the
<br />state enllineer in accordance with Title 37, Article 87, of
<br />the Colorado Revised Statutes, The mission of the
<br />program is to prevent loss of life and property damage,
<br />and protect the state's water supplies from the failure of
<br />dams, The Rules and ~:equlations for Dam Safetv and
<br />!~am Cgnstruction establishes the standards for the
<br />program,
<br />
<br />The reservoir dams have been assi9ned hazard
<br />classifications based upon their potential for causing
<br />loss of life or property damage, High Hazard dams
<br />receive safety inspections annually, Significant Hazard
<br />dams bi.annually, and Low Hazard darns every six
<br />years, It a safety inspeGtion finds a dam unsafe for full
<br />use, it is restricted in storage to ensure safety, The
<br />standards for High Hazard dams are greater than Low
<br />Hazard ones.
