Engineering <br />information was not provided by FEMA to support the approximate floodplain delineations <br />shown on the FIRMs, This HA provides limited engineering information to fulfill that need, <br /> <br />This HA includes: <br /> <br />1. Authorization for the report and its purpose and scope; <br /> <br />2, Study area description including information on the community, the watershed, any known <br />flooding historylflooding problems, previous studies and projects, and community response <br />to the CWCB designation and approval process; <br /> <br />3. Description of hydrologic and hydraulic information; and <br /> <br />4, Floodplain management program, <br /> <br />Authorization <br />The CWCB has certain statutory responsibilities relating to the designation and approval of <br />floodwater runoff channels or basins as follows: <br /> <br />... "to devise and formulate methods, means, and plans for bringing about the greater <br />utilization of the waters of the state and the prevention of flood damages therefrom, and <br />to designate and approve storm or floodwater runoff channels or basins, and to make such <br />designations available to legislative bodies of cities and incorporated Counties, to County <br />planning commissions, and to boards of adjustment of cities, incorporated Counties, and <br />counties of this state"... Section 37-60-106(1)(c) of the Colorado Revised Statues (CRS), <br /> <br />A CWCB designation and approval of current floodplain information is needed for Montezuma <br />County, Colorado, The CWCB has prepared this HA as a means of designating Montezuma <br />County's AS so that the community can better implement its floodplain management program, <br /> <br />1 <br />
