SUBJECT : Erie Comprehensive Plan - Coal Creek Flood Plain Study
This memo is in response to your request to review the proposed
Coal Creek Flood Plain Study and its affect on the Erie Compre-
hensive Plan .
Flood plains were delineated in the Erie Comprehensive Plan .
( see attached ) The work was done by a hydrologist employed by
Phil Ray and Associates . He used existing 10 foot contour in-
tervals .
One of the major objectives of the Plan is to prevent develop-
ment in the flood plain and maintain the area as open space .
A flood plain study of Coal Creek by the Soil Conservation
Service and the Colorado Water Conservation Board would serve
two purposes to fulfill the objectives of the Erie Comprehensive
Plan . These are :
1 ) It will provide the most accurate data available
to clearly define the flood plain ;
2 ) It will provide a legal basis for local govern-
ment (town and county ) to zone the flood plain
to prevent urban encroachment and maintain it
as an open area .
Therefore , it appears as though a flood plain study as the type
proposed would help implement the policies of the Erie Compre-
hensive plan .

Dear Scott:
I am forwarding the revised plan of study -for the
Flood Hazard Analyses on Coal Creek and Rock Creek. The revision
includes suggestions from our meeting of March 13, 1974.
Wayne indicated that paragraph 5 on page 4 will be -
amended to provide one set of film positives at a scale of
1" -= 200 ' .
With the aforementioned amendment, we find the plan of
study satisfactory for signature. 1t is our hope that the plan of
study can be signed without another meeting. I will be contacting
your office by phone on April 10, 1974, to receive your comments
and to plan the next step.
It will be good to get the study under way as soon' as
possible, since the photography should be taken before the trees
and brush foliate.

INTRODUCTION
This flood hazard analyses plan of study for Coal Creek and Rock Creek
was jointly prepared by the Colorado Water Conservation _Board, the County
Commissioners of Boulder County and Weld County, the Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District, and the Soil Conservation Service.
The purpose of the Plan of Study is to describe the objective of
the study, the intended uses of the data and _report, the intensity of
investigations, interagency coordination involved, study responsibilities,
scheduling, and funding arrangement.
In Colorado, the Soil Conservation Service and other federal agencies
are currently eng-aged in flood haz-ard studies in cooperation with the
Colorado Water Conservation Board. As Coordinator for all water studies in
the -state, the Colorado Water Conservation Board establishes priorities and
schedules these studies on a. priority ±asis. The Colorado Water Conserva-
tion Board and the _Soil Conservation Service entered into a joint coordination
agreement for flood hazard analyses on January 27, 1972.
The Soil Conservation service, United States Department of Agri-culture,
carries out flood hazard analyses under the -authority -of Section 6 of Public
Law B3-566, Recommendation 9(c) Regulation of Land Use of House ]Document
No. 465, 89th Congress, 2nd Session and in compliance with Executive -Order
1129-6, dated August 10, 1966.
STUDY AREA
The area of study includes the flood plains of Coal Creek and Rock Creek.
The study begins at the Coal Creek confluence with -Boulder Creek and extends
upstream for a distance of 14 miles to a point about 0.4-mile above the town
of Superior. Rock Creek is a tributary to Loal Creek and the -study -area
extends from its mouth upstream about 5.4 miles to the Denver-Boulder Turn-
pike (see Attachment 1).
Located primarily in the -southeast part of Boulder County, -the watershed
drains about 79 square miles. Parts of the drainage area lie within Jefferson,
Adams, and Weld Counties. Coal Creek flows in a northeasterly direction until
it enters into Weld Lounty and -then flows north past the town of Erie where
it crosses back into Boulder County and runs into Boulder Creek. Boulder
Creek flows into St. V_rain Creek, a major tributary to the South Platte River.
About 9.5 miles of the Coal _Creek study reach is in Boulder County and -the
remaining 4.5 miles in Weld County. All of the Rock Creek study reach (5.4
miles) is in Boulder County. The flood plains -vary in width from about 500-
700 feet in the upper reaches, to about one taif of a mile in the lower areas.

OBJECTIVES
•
The primary objective of this study is to prepare flood plain maps so
that Boulder and Weld Counties can develop flood plain zoning ordinances and
other land use controls, as needed, to reduce potential flood damages and
unwise development in the flood plain. The engineering and hydrologic informa-
tion to be developed during the study will be of use in developing a master
drainage plan, in road and bridge -planning and design, in planning channel
modification, and in the planning of flood control structures, if needed.
INTENSITY OF INVESTIGATIONS
Studies will be undertaken to develop flood hazard information for the
10-, 25-, 50-, I00-,' and 500-year frequency floods under existing channel and
flood-plain conditions with runoff factors adjusted to reflect future urbaniza-
tion. Photogrammetric maps with topographic and flood plain information for
the 100- and 500-year frequency Iloods will be prepared on a scale of 1" = 400'
with a contour interval of four feet and two feet interpolations.
Available basic data such as flooding history, photos, land use, and exist-
ing survey data will be collected. Pertinent data from this information will
be used in the study.
Engineering field surveys will be conducted to establish vertical and
horizontal ground control and to obtain dimensions of bridges and culverts.
About 110 flood plain cross-sections will be needed to adequately define the
hydraulic relationships. Cross-section data will-be obtained photogrammetri-
cally where feasible.
The magnitude, elevation, and location of flooding for the designated fre-
quency floods will be developed from hydrologic and hydraulic analyses using
standard Soil Conservation Service techniques and procedures.
The Water Resources Council -tentative guidelines for flood -hazard eval-
uations will be used for recommendations on flood plain land use and manage-
ment regulations.
INTERAGENCY COORDINATION
Close coordination will be maintained through the representatives of
the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Boulder County, Weld County, Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District, and the Soil Conservation Service to
assure the completion of the study in a timely manner. Coordination with
the Corps of Engineers and other concerned federal agencies will be main-
tained throughout the study by the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

Dear Mr . Jensen:
The attached report prompted by findings of an earlier study,
is submitted as supplementary thereto and deals with the effect
of two alternate dike locations on the existing flood profile.
Placing the dike away from the river and diagonally across the
property has a lesser effect on the existing profile than modi-
fying the south bank but in so much as the dike is still located
in the flood plain a certain amount of channelization will be
required to accommodate the displaced flow.
We trust your planning needs will be met by this additional
information.

EXTENDED FLOOD PLAIN ANALYSIS
This extended study of the flood profile of the Cache
La Poudre River east of Greeley, Colorado, has been pro-
vided for the use of United Minerals , Ltd . ; Wheatridge,
Colorado.
Earlier studies revealed that diking the south bank
adjacent to the river would substantially alter the flood
plain as calculated by the U . S . Army Corps of Engineers
for a 100-year flood (approximately 10 , 000 cfs) . In an
effort to maintain the existing flood profile as estab-
lished , it was concluded that placing the dike on the
south bank would require extensive channelization to accom-
modate the displaced flows, and that locating the proposed
dike farther from the river and out of the flood plain
where possible should be considered . The flood plain
boundary resulting from the dike along the south bank
is included in this report as figure number 1 .
Two alternate dike alignments were proposed and the report
extended to provide an analysis of the flood plain with
the dike structures relocated. The proposed dike loca-
tions were identical except that for alternate number
one the dike was placed along the north edge of an exist-
ing pond and for alternate number two the dike was located
along the southern edge, as indicated on figure number 2 .
-1-
In so much as both routes produced very similar mean sur-
face level, and due to the somewhat more desirable location
of the northern route, the dike location for alternate
number two should be dropped from consideration.
Locating the dike away from the river as originally pro-
posed and diagonally across the property results in a
flood profile only slightly higher than the mean water
surface level calculated for the existing flood plain.
This route, in conjunction with approximately 1 , 200 feet
of channelization between sections 20 and 24 , and a sec-
ondary channel adjacent to the dike between section 24
and 25 produced a profile at or near that of the existing
basin (figure number 3) .
The backwater curves calculated for the various conditions
are summarized in Table 1 .
Although the secondary channel assumed between sections
24 and 25 is somewhat excessive and could be reduced in
width, alternate route number one with channelization
offers the most satisfactory solution. It is also contin-
gent on re-aligning and widening the river between section
20 and 24 and clearing the area between the proposed dike
and the river of all trees and obstructions. The exact
location of the secondary channel is unimportant and the
location near the dike permits convenient use of the mat-
erial removed from the secondary channel for the construc-
tion of the dike. For study purposes , the river was widened

to approximately 140 feet and the width assumed for the
secondary channel was 100 feet with a bottom elevation
1 foot higher than the existing river bottom at that section .
Complete site development with the proposed ultimate gravel
removal from the site should result in a substantially
more efficient flood plain. This will further reduce the
flood inundation areas in the future.
It is therefore concluded that implementing the flood
plain development as shown on figure 3 will result in no
additional (and possibly less) flood hazard along the
affected reach of the stream.
It is recommended that the recommended dike be constructed
with a minimum freeboard of two feet above the flood ele-
vations shown at each cross section to insure against
flood damage to the railroad tracks .

The Congress of the United States in resolutions adopted by the Committee
on Public Works of the United States Senate, on 14 June 1956 and
22 March 1971, directed the Corps of Engineers to study the water
resources and related problems in the South Platte River basin and
tributaries, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska.
On 10 December 1969, the Corps of Engineers held public meetings in
the Community Hall at Wiggins, Colorado and in the school at Deer Trail,
Colorado. These meetings were held to discuss the flood and other re-
lated water resources problems in the Bijou Creek basin, to present
the Corps of Engineers' potential plan for water resources development
to solve these problems, and to obtain the views of local interests
on the potential plan of improvement.
In the Bijou Creek basin, the plan of improvement included the con-
struction of two dams on East Bijou Creek, a dam on Muddy Creek, and
a dam on West Bijou Creek.
After the public meeting, the report was finalized and forwarded to
higher authority for review. During the period the report was under
review, changes occurred in economic indicators, interest rates, and
construction costs. In view Gf these changes, the report is now being
revised and updated.
Our current findings indicate that the two dams on East Bijou Creek
and the dam on Muddy Creek are no longer feasible under the present
criteria established for water resources development. In view of these
findings, the Corps of Engineers will hold another public meeting to
present the revised -plan of improvement and to answer questions you
may have concerning it. The final conclusions and recommendations will
not be formulated without full consideration of the views of the interested
parties obtained at these meetings.
All interested parties are invited and urged to be present or represented
at these meetings. All _parties will be -afforded full -opportunity to express
their views and furnish specific data on matters pertinent -to this study.
Oral statements will be heard but, for accuracy of record, all important
facts and statements should be submitted in writing. Written statements
may be handed to the presiding of₹'icer at the meeting or may be mailed
beforehand to the undersigned at the Corps of Engineers' address in the
letterhead. All statements, both oral and written, will become part
of the official written record of this study and will be made available
for public examination.
Please bring this announcement to-the attention of all persons you know
to be interested in -the Bijou Creek basin.

Gentlemen:
For several years the cities of Greeley and Fort Collins, along with the
counties of Weld and Larimer, have recognized the flood damage Potential of the
Boudre River. Over a year ago, they requested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
to develop a flood-plain study of the river and provide recommendations for
preventive measures. The Corps of engineers have agreed to perform the study
if the entities involved provide the topographic information necessary.
Recently, we were asked by the Weld -County Planner, Mr. Burman Lorenson, to
quote to him a cost of providing this topographic information. He related that
he had already received a quotation from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in
-Portland, Oregon for the services. He outlined the specifications for the work
exactly as the SCS proposed and, based upon the identical criteria, we submitted
a lump-sum figure.
We have been informed by our Congressional delegates that U.E. Department of
Labor policies prohibit federal agencies from competing with private enterprise
except in areas where such services are unavailable. Yet here we find ourselves
in such competition.
Mr. Lorenson has informed us, on this date, that he has decided to accept the
SCS proposal, -even though their price is slightly higher than ours. His only
-apparent reason for this -action is that to do otherwise would necessitate the
reconsideration of the governmental entities involved in Weld -and Larimer Counties.
Mr. Norm Gan, of the Omaha District, U.E. Corps of Engineers, has expressed his
willingness to accept our services after reviewing the work performed _by us
earlier on the Poudre River where it endangered land belonging to Kodak of
Colorado.

comp-ass both previous requests and also include Larimer
County .
The four agencies , through the Regional Planning Commission ,
would pay $22 , 500 . 00 during 1972 to the Soil Conservation
Service to compile the nee-ess-ary preliminary information to
hav-e the Flood Plain study done . The information supplied
will bQ as follows :
1 . Horizontal , vertical and all other controls neces-
sary for photogrammetric plotting
2 . Cross section information in tabular form (approxi -
mately 200 cross suctions )
3 . Composite film positive of the topographic inform-
ation on a photographic base . Scale 1 " — 200 '
