Introduction As part of the overall Ever Vail project, the South Frontage Road will be relocated to the north immediately adjacent and parallel to the eastbound lanes of I‐70. This realignment will require the construction of a bridge across Red Sandstone Creek directly south of the I‐70 right‐of‐way. As a result, a Town of Vail Floodplain Modification Permit is required for the work that is needed to complete the road relocation. The existing South Frontage Road crosses Red Sandstone Creek approximately 350 feet south of the proposed location for the new crossing as shown in Figure 1 (USGS Quadrangle: Vail West, Co, Sections 6 and 7 of Township 5S, Range 80W). The project area is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Project Area for the New Frontage Road Bridge A floodplain modification is defined by the Vail Town Code as follows: A floodplain modification permit is a permit to allow construction of improvements and/or modifications to the adopted floodplain for all other uses, improvements, or modifications to or within the floodplain that do not fall within the guidelines of the floodplain use permit. However, no habitable structures or improvements shall be allowed to be constructed within the floodplain (12‐21‐11E.2.a.).

Floodplain Modification Review Criteria Chapter 21, Hazard Regulations, Vail Town Code provides the requirements and review criteria for a flood plain modification permit. The purpose of the flood hazard regulations is as follows: To promote public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: 1. Protect human life and health; 2. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; 3. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; 4. Minimize prolonged business interruptions; 5. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in floodplains; 6. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood prone areas in such a manner as to minimize future flood blight areas; 7. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area; 8. Ensure that those who occupy the floodplain assume the responsibility for their actions; 9. Protect the natural areas required to convey flood flows and retain flow characteristics; and 10. Obtain and maintain the benefits to the community of participating in the national flood insurance program. All floodplain modification permits are reviewed by the Floodplain administrator and the Planning and Environmental Commission subject to the following criteria: A. The effects upon the efficiency or capacity of the floodway. Our Analysis: There is no designated floodway for Red Sandstone Creek. The impacts to the floodplain boundary were evaluated using HEC‐RAS and are discussed in the attached engineering hydraulic analysis. B. The effects upon persons and personal property upstream, downstream and in the immediate vicinity. Our Analysis: There will be no adverse effect upon persons or personal property upstream, downstream or in the immediate vicinity. All new construction will be outside of the newly proposed floodplain. The water surface elevations or velocities do not increase downstream or upstream of the project area and therefore will not adversely impact persons or properties outside of the project area. C. The effects upon the 100‐year flood profile and channel stability. Our Analysis: The impacts to the floodplain boundary were evaluated using HEC‐RAS. HEC‐RAS results show less than a foot increase in water surface elevation profiles downstream of the project area. The floodplain decreases in width downstream of the new South Frontage Road Bridge, and shortly downstream returns to its existing configuration. The constriction of the floodplain is due to the channelization of flow through the arched culvert. FHWA design specifications were used to create the design details to protect the bridge and prevent scour of the channel during high flow events. A riprap energy dissipation basin has has been designed to force a hydraulic jump in order to dissipate energy from flow out of the I‐70 CMP. The channel bed will Ever Vail Flood Plain Modification Permit 8 be lined with grouted riprap with a median diameter of 12 inches. A drop structure and scour pool will be placed just downstream of the bridge to limit the downstream impact and limit further impacts to Red Sandstone Creek. The area to the west of the creek, just downstream of the bridge, will be graded to create a gradual slope from the southern edge of the retaining wall down to the creek. The area to the east has a steep bank and will not be modified. The attached engineering hydraulic analysis describes the impacts to the floodplain in depth and includes design drawings with channel design details. D. The effects upon any tributaries to the main stream, drainage ditches and any other drainage facilities or systems. Our Analysis: This design will not impact any tributaries to the main stream, drainage ditches or any other drainage facilities. A storm drain will collect water from the east side of the new South Frontage Road and discharge to Red Sandstone Creek just downstream of the new bridge. Storm water will go through a stormwater treatment system (Vortechs Model 16000) before discharging to Red Sandstone Creek. The calculated discharge rate during a 100‐yr flow event is 24 cfs. E. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; Our Analysis: There will be no increase in the danger to life or property due to flooding or erosion damage associated with the proposed project. There are no structures within the proposed floodplain. There should be little or no erosion around the bridge since the channel will be armored to prevent scour during the 500‐yr flood event. The downstream channel will be armored with loose river cobble with a median diameter of 6 inches, which is the estimated median diameter of the existing river cobble in this reach. F. The susceptibility of the proposed improvement and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; Our Analysis: The channel below the bridge will be armored to protect the foundation from scour during a 500‐yr flow event. The bridge footers will be protected from downstream erosion by a concrete cutoff wall that is located at the downstream end of the bridge. Design drawings are included as an exhibit to the attached engineering hydraulic analysis G. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; Our Analysis: The I‐70 CMP restricts much of the debris from the headwaters. There is some debris at the site that will be removed, but, for the most part, the amount of debris will remain the same. In addition, there are no other landowners along Red Sandstone Creek. Therefore the probability of a downstream landowner being impacted by debris along Red Sandstone Creek is unlikely. H. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; Our Analysis: The land adjacent to Red Sandstone Creek Floodplain is currently zoned Arterial Business District to the west and Lionshead Mixed Use – 2 to the east of the creek. The proposed zoning for the entire site is Lionshead Mixed Use – 2. The relocation of the South Frontage Road consolidates the impacts to the creek (both existing and proposed) to one area, allowing for the remainder of the creek (downstream to Gore Creek) to be improved and restored, and to create a community amenity. A complete analysis of the anticipated development of Ever Vail is included in this submittal package. Ever Vail Flood Plain Modification Permit 9 I. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; Our Analysis: None of these bridges will be flooded. Emergency Vehicles can access the east side of property utilizing the South Frontage Road and Forest Road. Emergency Vehicles can access the west side of property utilizing the South Frontage Road. J. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions including maintenance and repair of streets and bridges, and public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems; Our Analysis: These costs will remain the same. There are no new utilities located within the existing or proposed floodplain boundary. All new utilities will be located above the floodplain and will be accessed via the new South Frontage Road Bridge. K. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected expected at the site; Our Analysis: The impacts to the floodplain boundary were evaluated using HEC‐RAS. HEC‐RAS results show less than a foot increase in water surface elevation profiles downstream of the project area. The floodplain boundary decreases in width a short distance downstream of the new South Frontage Road Bridge and shortly downstream returns to its existing configuration. The attached Engineering Hydraulic Analysis describes the impacts to the floodplain in depth. L. The effect the proposed changes will have any adverse environmental effect on the watercourse including, without limitation, erosion of stream banks and stream side trees and vegetation and wildlife habitat; Our Analysis: The realignment of Red Sandstone Creek to accommodate the new South Frontage Road Bridge will have a small environmental effect on the watercourse under the new bridge. The Red Sandstone Creek stream ecosystem in the vicinity of the Site has been diminished due to channelized stream conditions and steep banks caused by fill material from neighboring parcels and the I‐70 CMP. The stream bottom consists of boulders and cobbles and provides limited habitat for several species of fish. According to the CDOW, the following species of fish could be found in Red Sandstone Creek below the I‐70 culvert: brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, and sculpin (Andree, pers. comm.). However, resting and spawning areas for fish are extremely limited in this section of Red Sandstone Creek, especially during spring runoff and critical low flow periods in the late summer, fall, and winter. There are wetlands adjacent to Red Sandstone Creek; however, infringement from development has degraded riparian habitat, which is limited to a narrow band along the stream banks. All wetland impacts will be mitigated as required by the Army Corps of Engineers. A wetland mitigation plan and a 404 Permitting will be completed in 2011. The proposed floodplain will not cause an increase in erosion of stream banks. Many of the trees in the vicinity will be preserved. Some trees have been designated for removal due to their deteriorating health, and one tree will be removed to accommodate the new channel alignment. The vegetation that is impacted during construction will be revegetated as defined in the Landscaping plans created by Landworks Design. Ever Vail Flood Plain Modification Permit 10 M. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; Our Analysis: A variety of alternatives were evaluated to select an optimal Creek alignment and set of structures that would minimize floodplain impacts downstream of the proposed South Frontage Road Bridge crossing Red Sandstone Creek. In order to span the existing floodplain, a 120’ spanned bridge would be required to traverse the floodplain. This alternative was not chosen due to the associated cost and aesthetic considerations. Various bridge spans were evaluated to determine the most appropriate size and style available that will appropriately convey and manage flow through the new structure. A single span bridge with 42‐ foot clear opening was selected as the most appropriate, cost effective and aesthetic alternative. The span of the proposed bridge was developed using HEC‐RAS to model various stream geometries and bridge span options to identify a bridge span length that would not not significantly impact water surface elevations of the Creek downstream. Once this span length was determined the remaining design characteristics were determined through an iterative process using Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and HEC RAS modeling. The primary design parameters were based on the following objectives: maintain channel stability by armoring the new channel under the bridge to prevent scour during a 500‐yr flood event, include channel geometry that is similar to the existing stream geometry, and provide sufficient channel conveyance capacity to minimize changes to the existing 100‐year water surface elevation. N. The availability of alternative locations, not subject to flooding or erosion damage, for the proposed use; Our Analysis: There is no alternative location because of the necessity to cross Red Sandstone Creek. O. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan for that area. Our Analysis: The relocated South Frontage Road is identified as a possibility in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan for the West Lionshead area. The existing alignment includes a small radius curve in the road, creating conditions that are unsafe in that area. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan contemplated a South Frontage Road alignment which parallels I‐70, but returns to the original location at Red Sandstone Creek. This alignment was not acceptable to CDOT, as it maintains an unsafe bend in the road. CDOT has indicated that the only acceptable alignment parallels I‐70 for the entire distance of the West Lionshead area, joining back up to the existing alignment just west of the existing Glen Lyon Office Building. In addition, the alignment contemplated by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan would have required significant disturbance to Red Sandstone Creek, because the proposed bridge would have run parallel to the creek for a distance. In conclusion, the alignment of the South Frontage Road and the floodplain modification required are in compliance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and associated Transportation Master Plans for the traffic network in the Town of Vail. The following findings shall be made before granting of a floodplain permit: (1) That the proposed use or modification adequately addresses the findings in subsection E3a of this section, as determined by the floodplain administrator, unless the applicant can demonstrate that one or more of the standards is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved; Ever Vail Flood Plain Modification Permit 11 (2) That the proposed use or modification is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and compatible with the development objectives of the town; and (3) That the proposed use or modification is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas; and (4) That the proposed use or modification promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

Sato and Associates Attachment B: Peak Land Consultants Survey, October 8, 2008 Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 3 AMEC Earth & Environmental 1.0 Introduction Vail Resorts Development Company, in conjunction with the Town of Vail is planning on moving the I-70 South Frontage Road in West Lionshead to the north, immediately adjacent and parallel to the eastbound lanes of I-70. This realignment will require the construction of a bridge across Red Sandstone Creek, directly south of the I-70 right-ofway. The purpose of this report is to address and evaluate the hydraulic impacts associated with moving the South Frontage Road. The proposed project for the new South Frontage Road Bridge will require realignment and reconstruction of the Creek channel from the I-70 CMP discharge location to a location approximately 185 feet downstream. The proposed bridge will be constructed using a Con/Span arch with a clear span of 42-feet. The Con/Span arch is the structural component of the bridge that will span the creek. The bridge will be 99.35 feet wide. The span of the proposed bridge was developed using HEC-RAS to model various stream geometries and bridge span options to identify a bridge span length that would not significantly impact water surface elevations or velocities of the Creek downstream of the proposed bridge. Once this span length was determined the remaining design characteristics were determined through an iterative process using Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and HEC-RAS modeling. The primary design parameters were based on the following objectives: maintain channel stability by armoring the new channel under the bridge to prevent scour during a 500-yr flood event, include channel geometry that is similar to the existing stream geometry, and provide sufficient channel conveyance capacity to minimize changes to the existing 100-year water surface elevations downstream. The project area discussed in this report starts at the discharge location for the existing I-70 CMP and ends 185-ft downstream, where the new channel meets grade with the existing channel morphology. 2.0 Floodplain Engineering Analysis The intent of the engineering analysis is to review the existing Flood Insurance Study (FIS) floodplain boundary, define a new effective Base Flood Elevation (BFE) using more recent topographic data, and define a new BFE for the proposed bridge design. The HEC-RAS files used to model the existing floodplain were acquired from FEMA and modified to represent more recent and accurate survey data. The original FEMA HECRAS model will be referred to as the FIS HEC-RAS model. The model used to model the new effective BFE will be referred to as the effective HEC-RAS model. The existing Flood Insurance study (08037CV000A) for Red Sandstone Creek was adopted by FEMA on December 4, 2007. The flood hazard area is depicted on Eagle County, Colorado FIRM Panel 0837C046D as shown in Figure 2 (and included in Attachment A). The existing floodplain zone is defined as Zone AE floodplain. The existing FEMA FIRM represents modeling of Red Sandstone Creek from the confluence with Gore Creek to approximately 2,900 feet upstream, just past Potato Patch Drive. Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 4 AMEC Earth & Environmental Figure 1. Existing FIRM panel for Red Sandstone Creek 2.1 Evaluation of the Existing Floodplain Boundary and development of a New Effective HEC-RAS Model The cross section geometry modeled in FIS HEC-RAS model was examined for accuracy and compared to more recent survey data to verify the precision of the geometry data in the vicinity of the project. Upon comparing the FIS cross sections to more recent topographic data, discrepancies were revealed. Because of the numerous discrepancies between the FIS HEC-RAS geometric data and existing topographic data, Vail Resorts and Development Company (VRDC) contracted Peak Land Consultants to resurvey the cross sections at the same locations along Red Sandstone Creek. Cross sections 406.5, 406, 405.5, 405.3, 405, 404, 403, 402.5, 402, and to 401.5 were surveyed on October 7, 2008. Three new cross sections were also surveyed at this time. This was done to provide more detail for the new effective floodplain boundary analysis. Two of the new cross sections are located between cross Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 5 AMEC Earth & Environmental sections 404 and 405. These new cross section identification numbers are 404.5 and 404.25. The third cross section is located just downstream of cross section 405.5, located just downstream of the I-70 CMP discharge. This location was chosen because the cross section ID 405.5 intersects the culvert wing walls, and thus inaccurately represents the stream geometry downstream of the I-70 CMP discharge. The cross section locations are shown in plan view in Exhibit A, and a hard copy of the design drawings are located in Attachment A. 2.1.1 Mannings n-Values Manning’s n-values for the main channel and overbank portions of Red Sandstone Creek were not changed for the new effective model. The Manning’s n-values used are 0.04 and 0.05 for the main channel and the overbank areas, respectively. This is congruent with field observations and aerial photographs. Red Sandstone creek is generally narrow and the streambed consists of cobbles and small boulders and the floodplain is moderately vegetated. 2.1.2 Hydrology The hydrology used in the existing FIS model was adopted and used in the new effective model. 2.1.3 Boundary Conditions – Flow Regime Boundary conditions were changed for the new effective baseline model. The existing FEMA model used a downstream boundary condition of 0.04 feet/feet. The model was run using the sub-critical flow regime. The downstream boundary condition for the new effective model was set at normal depth, based on the average channel slope of 0.05 feet/feet. 2.1.4 Culvert and Bridge Data Entrance and exit loss coefficients were not changed at stream cross sections for the new effective baseline model. Entrance and loss coefficients are 0.1 and 0.3 at stream cross sections. Entrance and loss coefficients at the culverts are 0.5 and 1.0, respectively. The Entrance and loss coefficients at the existing South Frontage Road (Section ID’s 402.5 and 402) have been changed to 0.3 and 0.5, respectively. 2.1.5 Cross Sectional Geometry The new cross sectional data from the topographic survey was entered into the new effective HEC-RAS model. The most notable changes to the geometry data are listed below. 1. Sections 406.5 and 406 have updated horizontal geometry to show flow in the horizontal plane, rather than rising above I-70. The FIS HEC-RAS model showed flow overtopping I-70. 2. The I-70 CMP invert elevation on the north side of I-70 has been changed to 8120.3 feet. The FIS CMP invert elevation value was 8124.3 feet. 3. The CMP invert elevation on the south side of I-70 was changed to 8107.90 feet. The FIS CMP invert elevation measurement was 8105.00 feet. 4. Cross section 405.3 was added to represent the actual stream geometry downstream of the I-70 CMP. The new cross section is located 5 feet Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 6 AMEC Earth & Environmental downstream of cross section ID 405.5 This new location was added because the existing section (ID 405.5) shows the wing walls of the CMP, and misrepresents the general existing channel geometry in that reach. 5. Cross sections 404.5 and 405.25 were added to provide more floodplain elevation data downstream of the new location for the South Frontage Road Bridge. 6. The CMP diameter has been changed to 7 ft. The culvert diameter in the FIS HEC-RAS model was 6 ft. 2.2 New Effective HEC-RAS Modeling Results Summary The new effective HEC-RAS model was run using geometry data created from the most recent survey. Model results in tabular format for the new effective model are presented in Exhibit B. Table 1 provides a summary table to compare the FIS and new effective water surface elevations and velocities during a 100-yr event. Table 1.

Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 7 AMEC Earth & Environmental The water surface elevations and velocities changed at various cross section locations. The most notable changes are: 1. The water surface elevations at section ID’s 406 and 406.5 (north of I-70) decrease in elevation by approximately 4 feet. This is most likely due to the increased representation width of the floodplain at the cross sections. The existing FIS model truncated the sections and therefore there was no representation of flow in the horizontal plane 2. Section ID 405.5 shows a higher water surface elevation in the new effective model. This is most likely a result of the FIS model not representing the wing walls, while the new effective geometry represents the wing walls, and the immediate downstream stream morphology. 3. The water surface elevation at section ID 405 is lower in the new effective model. This is mostly likely a result of more detailed geometry that shows a more incised channel. 2.3 Development of a HEC-RAS model for the Proposed Conditions The proposed bridge will be constructed using a Con/Span arch with a clear span of 42-feet. The Con/Span arch is the structural component of the bridge that will span Red Sandstone Creek. The bridge will be 99.35 feet wide. The I-70 CMP will be shortened by 10 feet. Each end of the bridge will require a concrete headwall. The upstream headwall will be located adjacent to the east bound lanes of I-70 and will retain the adjacent slope. In addition, this will provide an opening for the existing I-70 CMP to penetrate the wall. The CMP will extend 1.9 feet beyond the edge of the upstream headwall to prevent seepage behind the retaining wall. The Con/Span arch will have 10 additional inches of vertical clearance over the I-70 CMP. In order to convey flow through the Con/Span arch, the channel bed for Red Sandstone Creek is being adjusted to flow through the bridge. FHWA design specifications were used to create the design details to protect the bridge and prevent scour of the channel during high flow events. The channel configuration is based on the need to protect the bridge during high flow events and effectively manage flow during low flow events. A riprap energy dissipation basin has been designed to prevent scour and dissipate energy from flow out of the I-70 CMP. The channel bed will be lined with grouted riprap with a median diameter of 18 inches. A drop structure and scour pool will be placed just downstream of the bridge to minimize the longitudinal grade and limit further downstream impacts to Red Sandstone Creek. Detail design computations are included in the CDOT Hydraulic Report. The area to the west of the creek, just downstream of the bridge, will be graded to create a gradual slope from the southern edge of the bridge face down to the creek. Note that the existing South Frontage Road Bridge will not be removed as part of this project. The area will continue to be accessed via the existing South Frontage Road until the Ever Vail development is at or near completion. Design drawings for the proposed project are located in Exhibit C. Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 8 AMEC Earth & Environmental The new effective HEC-RAS model was modified to reflect the new South Frontage Road Bridge location, the realignment of Red Sandstone Creek, and the associated downstream grading changes. A project boundary has been defined by identifying the cross sections where the water surface elevations and velocities have not been impacted by the proposed changes, i.e. the water surface elevation profiles match existing. The project boundaries are cross sections 407 and 402. Cross section ID 407 is located 3 cross sections and 211 feet upstream of the I-70 CMP inlet. Cross section ID 402 is located immediately downstream of the existing frontage road bridge. The water surface elevations and velocities return to existing values at or before these project boundary sections. A new grading plan was created to represent the proposed changes associated with the new South Frontage Road Bridge. The new grading plan was used to create a 3-dimensional surface and cross sections using RiverTools, a program extension to Civil 3D. This program creates cross sections in user specified locations and allows the user to export the geometry into HEC-RAS, as an .sdf file. These cross sections are labeled in blue in Exhibit A. This data was then combined with the new effective HEC-RAS model to compute the impacts to the water surface elevations within the proposed project area. A summary of the primary design changes incorporated into the proposed HEC-RAS model and associated geometry are listed below. 1. The downstream end of the I-70 CMP has been cut back 10 ft. The culvert will now discharge directly into the 42 ft Con/Span arch. The new culvert invert elevation will be 8108.30 feet. 2. All cross-sectional data between the I-70 CMP and the southern edge of bridge have been replaced with new geometry and numbered accordingly. This geometry represents the new riprap basin and the new stream geometry. Note that the existing HEC-RAS sections were not always perpendicular to the flow line. The geometry data used for the proposed conditions model uses cross sections that are perpendicular to the flow line. For this reason it is difficult to directly compare before and after water surface elevations based on cross section ID’s and location alone. When a cross section line from the proposed model was crossing a cross section line from the new effective model it was given a section ID value 0.01 high or lower. If the proposed cross section centerline was above the existing section line then the value was higher and vice versa. For comparison purposes the water surface elevation for the proposed conditions was interpolated based on the plan view of floodplain boundary. Refer to Exhibit A for further clarification. 3. The width of the proposed bridge is 99.35-ft. For modeling purposes the bridge was shorted to 49 feet long and placed downstream of the I-70 CMP stilling basin. This was done so that the stilling stilling basin could be represented in the hydraulic model. HEC-RAS will not allow the modeler to enter a bridge and details for a stilling basin simultaneously. Note the upstream section of the bridge was modeled by creating stream geometry to represent the walls of the bridge. 4. New cross sections were added downstream of the proposed bridge to represent the drop structure, scour pool, and grading downstream of the bridge. Floodplain Modification Permit – Engineering Floodplain Analysis South Frontage Road Bridge at Red Sandstone Creek 9 AMEC Earth & Environmental The hydraulic attributes are the same as those used in the new effective model. The following assumptions were used:  The Manning’s n value used to model the reach through the bridge is 0.03. The remaining Manning’s n values were consistently 0.04 and 0.05 throughout the model, as used in the existing HEC RAS model. The grouted riprap will be placed below the bridge so that it is protruding from the surface in order to provide for increased roughness.  Flow regime was modeled as subcritical when modeling the 100-yr water surface elevations. Note that the flow becomes supercritical at various points due to the steep grade and drop structures, but FEMA requires the 100-yr floodplain boundary be calculated assuming subcritical flow. A mixed flow regime was used to determine the depth of scour during a 500-yr flood event at the proposed bridge structure.  The downstream boundary condition is the average channel slope of 0.05 feet/feet.  Entrance and loss coefficients are 0.1 and 0.3 at stream cross sections. The Entrance and loss coefficients at the existing South Frontage Road (Section ID’s 402.5 and 402) are 0.3 and 0.5. Entrance and loss coefficients for the new bridge (405.3. and 405.15) are also 0.3 and 0.5. Entrance and loss coefficients at the culverts are 0.5 and 1.0, respectively. 2.4 Proposed Conditions – HEC-RAS Modeling Results Summary The proposed HEC-RAS model was run with the new input data to determine the water surface elevations and velocities along Red Sandstone Creek under the proposed conditions. The HEC-RAS model results indicate that the impacts to the 100-yr water surface elevations are less than a foot outside of the structures. In addition, the floodplain width decreases in width due to the channelization of Red Sandstone Creek. Table 2 summarizes the results during a 100-yr flow event at key design locations. Note it is important to view this this table in conjunction with Exhibit A to see the physical representation of the impacts to the floodplain boundary. The complete tabular results from the HEC-RAS model for the proposed conditions are shown in Exhibit D. HEC-RAS model sections with the 100-yr water surface elevations for the proposed geometry are shown in Exhibit E. The FIS floodplain boundary, the proposed new effective floodplain boundary, and the proposed floodplain boundary are shown in Exhibit A. Proposed vs. new effective ground and 100-yr water surface elevations are shown in Figure 3.

The cross section ID has been given a new value because it crosses the existing cross section, but is slightly skewed from the existing conditions. This was done because the new cross section had to be adjusted to run perpendicular to the flow line.

Proposed vs. Existing Ground Elevations and Water Surface Elevations during a 100-yr Flood Event. 3.0 Conclusions The floodplain analysis evaluated the existing adopted Flood Insurance Study (FIS) floodplain boundary and created a new effective baseline model using more recent and accurate survey data. The new effective baseline model was then used as the baseline model from which to create a new HEC-RAS model to represent the proposed design. This model shows a minimal increase in water surface elevation downstream of the project area. The floodplain narrows just downstream of the new South Frontage Road Bridge, and shortly downstream returns to its existing configuration. The water surface elevation profiles for the proposed conditions match the water surface elevation profiles of the new effective model at cross sections 407 and 402.5. FEMA requires that a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) be submitted for review if the there has been a detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for which the Base (1-percnet-annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) have been specified. If the project area is within a floodplain boundary, but not designated as a regulatory floodway, then any changes that would result in more than a 1.0-foot increase in the BFE will require a CLOMR. Red Sandstone Creek has a designated floodplain, but is not in a regulatory floodway. Although the increases to the BFE’s downstream of the proposed bridge are less than 1.0 foot, the increases to the BFE’s within the proposed Con/Span arch are greater than 1.0 foot. Therefore, a CLOMR will need to be submitted to FEMA Exhibit A: Plan View of Floodplain Boundaries: existing FEMA, new effective and proposed Exhibit B: HEC-RAS tabular results: New Effective Model Exhibit B.
