<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A procedure for determining hydrology information for approximate floodplains of lakes, ponds, <br />and local drainages has not been established. The hydrologic methodology developed in the <br />Guidelines is appropriate for designation and approval of approximate floodplain information and <br />for use in simple floodplain analyses for development such as open space, agriculture, farm <br />bridges, pole barns, and individual single residential structures. The methodology is not <br />appropriate for development involving residential subdivisions greater than 50 lots or occurring <br />on sites greater than 5 acres, commercial construction, industrial construction, construction of <br />public transportation facilities, or construction of flood control facilities. <br /> <br />Custer County should regulate the approximate floodplains on a case-by-case basis subject to a <br />detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis performed by a professional engineer, in accordance <br />with the determinations of the Colorado Water Conservation Board regarding the applicability of <br />the Guidelines. <br />
