Flood Plain Management Study: Pawnee Creek in Logan County, Colorado

摘要

The flood plain management report was prepared by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, Soil Conservation Service, in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation, Logan County, and the Town of Sterling, Colorado. Interpretations of the flood plain management study and recommendations to reduce damages are included; however it is beyond the scope of the report to provide detailed proposals or plans to rectify the flooding problems. The objective of the study is to provide detailed flood plain management information and mapping to Logan County and the town of Sterling for use in implementing flood plain management programs which will minimize potential flood losses. Included in the report are engineering and hydrologic data which will facilitate the development of a flood plain management plan, road and bridge designs, and flood control measures (if needed).
