<br />/{l'O 13 78 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I: 1.5 the !?osition of the 9asi:1 st:lt~s ::-1.:l': t:'1-= <br /> <br />Secretary's analysis of the one-in-one-hundred-year =~~~C <br /> <br />flow sho~ld represent a realistic one-in-one-hundr~d-yeac <br /> <br />probability of such flow occurring in any reach of the river <br /> <br />at a given time, and should not arbitrarily assume that one- <br /> <br />in-one-hundred-year inflows from all tributaries occur <br /> <br />simultaneously. It is the nature of weather events along the <br /> <br />lower Colorado River, a desert region, that most rain storms <br /> <br />occur as small, localized but intense thunder showers that <br /> <br />would produce floods from only a few tributaries at a time, <br /> <br />and the Secretary's study should reflect this. To ensure <br /> <br />that this technical matter is made clear, we recommend that <br /> <br />Section 5 (b) (1) (ii) be amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />"(ii) define the specific boundaries of the <br />Colorado River Floodway so that the ?loodway can <br />accommodate either a one-in-one-hundred-year river <br />flow consisting of controlled releases and <br />tributary inflow, or a flow of forty thousand cubic <br />feet per second (cfs), whichever is greater, from <br />below Davis Dam to the Southerly International <br />Boundary between the United States of America and <br />the aepublic of Mexico." <br /> <br />Sec. 6. This section provides the restriction on future <br /> <br />federal expenditures within the floodway necessary to <br /> <br />lccomplish the purpose of the bill as set forth in Sec. 2(b). <br /> <br />Any individual who wishes to risk his personal funds by <br /> <br />constructing a development within the floodway would not be <br /> <br />prohibited from doing so by this bill. nowever, the bill <br /> <br />prohibits any such potential developer from participating in <br /> <br />:',=deral programs that :nay aid his de'relooment and puts him on <br /> <br />-15- <br />
