INTERPRETAT10Ns A~D RECOf~IENDATIONS

lnterpretations

The need for an adequate stor~ conveyance system to carry the flows
of the 'IE CGnon drainage area and ronoff frortl its contribut1ng ar eashas
been recognized for some time by local Officials. Locations of potential
flooding by th~ 100-year flood on the main drainage way and its tributaries
were identified by the SCS in its 1976 stwdy. The present study revises
thepreviOlJsly developed water surface elevations and the flood plainotlt-
li~e. This analysis con be used in deYelo~ing a master drainage plan for
the study an~d.

Recomendations

The prinarypurpese of this report;' to develop water surface
elevations and 100-year floOdplain maps of the tiE Callon drainage a rea,
so that the City of Canon City and County "f rrenlont can develop and
imple~llmt floodplain building regulations. ColoradO Statdes 1'equire
