Statewide River Rehabilitation and Floodplain Management Needs Assessment ... ;H~~ '" "" COMMUNITY INVENTORY QUESTIONNAIRE Oqjective The Colorado Legislature has authorized the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to perform a, statewide needs assessment to better manage and address i1ood-related and multi- objective river issues within the known and unknown floodplains. Known floodplains are commonly referred to as 100 and 500-year i1oodplains. One of the key steps in completing a needs inventory is to assess the floodplain management and stream rehabilitation problems/concerns across the state. To complete the statewide needs assessment, CWCB will be relying on a survey of all flood prone communities and water resource-related interests in the state. This Que5tionnaire is the primary means of completing this survey, The purp05e of the Gl,uestionnaire is to: 1) evaluate existing programs, 2) determine future needs. 3) formulate recommendations for consideration by the CWCB. Your answers to the Gl.uestions in this Que5tionnaire will be critical to CWCB's ability to formulate an action plan. Questions are grouped to obtain information from your community relating to the following subjects: . Floodplain Management (mapping/regulation, i100d insurance, mitigation measures) . Multi-Objective Use of Stream Corridors (wetlands, recreation, fisheries, irrigation, etc,) . Institutional Issues (study criteria, legislative barriers, fiscal & legal problems) I nstruct\ons Plea5e fill out this Que5tionnaire as completely as p05sibJe and return it in the envelope provided by November 14. 1997, If certain information has not been previously developed, please make your best estimate. We believe information provided by community officials and water managers, based upon local experience and preferences, better identifies your needs. If you do not. or cannot provide the information. more general estimates for your community may have to be made, which could overlook problems unique to your community, Community Map Responses to certain questions may be more clearly or easily shown on a map. Use of a map is encouraged, but not required. If you choose to show information on a map (for example, stream reaches with unmapped floodplains) please indicate the map's scale and distinguish between different subjects with different line colors or line types. For example. you might indicate eroding or unstable stream reaches with a colored or solid line and high flood hazard reaches with a different color or a dashed line, Please include a legend or other explanatory notes to aid in compiling the information. .
