Ir. addition to the 100- and SOO-year frequency floods, the 10-, 25-, and

50-year events are plotted on the "..ater surface profiles. Infonnationregardfng
these lower frequency floods is especially useful for engineering design purposes

related to roads, storm sewers, channels, and appurtenant structures. For infor-

mation regarding flood line elevations at a specific location, the water surface

profile data can be used in conjunction with the flood hazard ~aps. The cross-
section locations which appear on both the profiles and ~aps can be used as

reference points. Water surface profiles are included in this report as

E~hibit A. Photo inde~ sheet numbers, compatible with cross-section loca-

tions, are shown on ench water surface profile exhibit.
