<br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBj-ECT: <br /> <br />FILE <br />Pat Mulhern <br />DECEMBER 21, 1977 <br />BRECKENRIDGE FIS <br /> <br />for revision of the Breckenridge Floodplain Information Report, <br /> <br /> <br />On December 16, 1977, a meeting was held with Steve Gauss of <br /> <br />Community Services for the Town of Breckenridge, Colorado. <br /> <br />'Steve provided information on new or proposed bridges and culverts <br /> <br />1975, as required in our contract with the Federal Insurance Admin- <br /> <br />istration. Steve also pointed out areas in town where building <br /> <br />programs may have changed the topography along the river since <br /> <br />1974. Steve indica.ted two areas, one near the north end of town, <br /> <br />the other near the south end. <br /> <br />Field investigation of the northern site revealed a cut for a <br /> <br />new condominium building, however, most of the cut is out of <br /> <br />the existing floodplain and will have minimal effect on flood <br /> <br />elevations. The only problem is whether or not the building <br /> <br />is in the flOOdplain. Below Watson Road on the south end of <br /> <br />town, fill has apparently been dumped along the channel in the <br /> <br />existing floodplain.. The fill may have some effect on flood <br /> <br />elevation, however, the effect on existing structures would be <br /> <br />minimal. The fill has been dumped in mounds along the channel <br /> <br />and will certainly be reworked in the future. <br /> <br />Another area where t:opography has been altered is in the vicinity <br />of the Four Seasons Pond near the Peak 9 Ski Center. This <br /> <br />area, however, was revised, and included on Plate 10 of the <br /> <br />Breckenridge Floodplain Report. <br /> <br />Snow depths and weat,her conditions prevented a thorough survey <br /> <br />along the remainder of the channel. However, the town's <br />
