Estimated futu~e flood crests and pertinent elevations

at bridges within th~ study ~~ea ~re listed in Table 5.

Of the

va~ious bridgc$ cro~$ing the strearn5, most a~e obstructiv~ to the
J:nt,,~mediate Regional Flood and even ~r" are ob~tructiv" to th~
Standard l'ro)ect Flood. f'orst:udypurpo"esherein, it has been
aS$wnnd that limited clogging would occur and all bridge struct:ures

would stand intact.

Significant changns in thi~ pre~is~, imposed by

differing conditions of a future flood, could alter the c~tinated
flood crests ..rod flood limits shown in the tables arod related plates.

Future Flood Heights
Averaged wat~r surface elev&tions for th~ Standard

~roject Flood exc~ed those of the Intermediate Regional Flood by
3 feet in the upper reach and 2.2 feet in the lower reach. Figures
6 through 9 show the heights that would be rnached by the respec-
tive future floods on facilities presently c~isting within the flood
plains ccnsidered in the study.
