<br />4. Telephone federal and state agencies including the USGS, NWS, NRCS, FEMA, DOLA, <br />CDOT, DWR, and others to obtain any available information related to the storm events and <br />flooding. Examples of information to be collected shall include general flood facts, available <br />reports, streamflow gage measurements and hydro graphs, color NEXRAD Radar images, <br />meteorological information, agricultural and other damage estimates, streambank and <br />watershed protection measures, and estimated federal expenditures for post-flood tasks. <br />Meet with selected officials when necessary to obtain pertinent information. <br /> <br />Develop New Information <br /> <br />1. Perform 80 man-hours worth of field investigations to obtain channel cross-sections, high <br />water marks, rainfall bucket surveys, photographs, interviews, and other flood data. The <br />locations and goals of the field visits shall be discussed with and approved by the CWCB <br />prior to the fieldwork. <br /> <br />2. Perform engineering and technical analyses necessary to quantify meteorological, <br />hydrologic, and hydraulic characteristics and other flood characteristics. Estimate <br />frequencies of the maximum point rainfall amounts for each major rainstorm. Estimate <br />frequencies of the resulting flood flows where flow estimates are available or are generated <br />from this Project. Use available baseline data such as NOAA Atlas 2 for estimating rainfall <br />frequencies. Frequencies of the 1997 peak streamflows should be estimated by comparing <br />values to one of the following sources (whichever is the most appropriate on a case-by-case <br />basis): Results from regional regression equations, published floodplain reports, FEMA <br />Flood Insurance Studies, or stream gage analyses. <br /> <br />Summarize and Inventory Collected Information <br /> <br />1. All telephone conversations should be summarized and recorded on a standardized <br />"telephone conversation record" as provided by the CWCB. <br /> <br />2. All meetings shall be summarized in a concise "meeting minutes" report. <br /> <br />3. All field investigations shall be summarized in a concise field reconnaissance report which <br />shall include an overview/purpose of the trip, any contacts made, location description, and <br />summary of investigations and findings. <br /> <br />4. Develop a spreadsheet or database to track all contacts and information sources for this <br />project. Include individual names, agency names, telephone numbers, and types of <br />information collected. Keep a record of all borrowed materials that needs to be returned to <br />the person or agency that loaned the materials. <br /> <br />5. Maintain an organized filing system to catalogue the collected data and information for each <br />geographical area. <br /> <br />3 <br />
