According to Mr. Bachofer, the lower level of the house has repeatedly flooded since August 2004, when the flows at the Fort Lupton Gauge reach 6,400 cubic feet per second (cfs), whereas in the past the flows reached over 10,000 cfs and no flooding occurred. The elevation of the door on the bottom level floor has been surveyed by a licensed surveyor and is at 4875 feet above mean sea level elevation (amsl). The 100 year flood plain level determined by Weld County for obtaining a Flood Hazard Permit on 5/19/1987 was 4874.0 feet and as such Mr. Bachofer was not required to have a permit because his land was above the 100 year floodplain level. There was also no history of flooding on this property prior to this time. During the visit, a sand- bagged berm was built along the west side of the concrete floor leading to the basement entry to prevent flooding of the basement. 3 A ? a V y^ r�r The area is heavily vegetated with cottonwood, willow, and occasional elm trees, tall bushes, and grass that extend from the house to the bank of the river.
