During the winter and early spring the ground water table <br /> will drop as a result of natural discharge to the north, <br /> contribution to South Boulder Creek and Dry Creek No. 2 <br /> Ditch and evapotranspiration from plant surfaces. <br /> There are no irrigation wells located in the South Boulder <br /> Creek valley in the vicinity of the project site. There are, <br /> however, some individual domestic wells used for water supply <br /> purposes. These wells are normally completed to the top of <br /> the Pierre shale with depths ranging from 10 to 20 feet. <br /> These wells typically yield 10 to 15 gallons per minute. <br /> Drainage and Flood Control. A portion of the site is located <br /> • within the designated 100-year floodplain of South Boulder <br /> Creek as defined by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control <br /> District. This is shown in Figure C-1. Flooding of the <br /> site occurs from two sources : overflow from South Boulder <br /> Creek and overland flow entering the site from the southwest <br /> as the result of inadequate channel and bridge capacity <br /> south of Marshall Road and State Highway 93. <br /> The designated 100-year flood discharge at the site is 5600 <br /> cfs. South Boulder Creek has a bank full capacity of <br /> • approximately 1700 cfs which is equivalent to the discharge <br /> through the bridges at State Highway 93 and Marshall Road. <br /> The additional 3900 cfs overtops the two highways and flows <br /> C-3 <br />
