<br />Additional flood control measures are proposed in the Corps of <br /> <br /> <br />Engineers "Repo~t on Review Survey for flood Control and Allied <br /> <br /> <br />Purposes on the'Arkansas River and Tributaries above John Martin <br /> <br /> <br />Dam, Colorado." <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />fUTURE fLOODS of greater magnitude can be expected, but the <br /> <br /> <br />Standard Project flood represents the reasonable upper limit of <br /> <br /> <br />expected flooding. floods the size of the Intermediate Regional <br /> <br /> <br />flood have occurred in the past and will occur in the future. <br /> <br /> <br />Comparisons between future and past floods, other than the June <br /> <br /> <br />1965 flood, are difficult to make since flood stage records are gen- <br /> <br /> <br />erally inadequate, substantial new development has occurred, and <br /> <br /> <br />channel improvements have been made. However, future flood damages <br /> <br /> <br />would be more extensive due to the continuing development on land <br /> <br /> <br />in the fountain Creek flood plain. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />4 <br />
