2.3.3 Findings/Constraint Identification<br />

Historic floodplain mapping is available for the Black Creek, Beaver Creek and Frenchman’s<br />

Creek. The Black and Beaver Creek floodplain mapping is considered outdated since more<br />

detailed aerial photography has been converted to more accurate mapping. Some of the previous<br />

hydraulic section information was based on the MNR OBM product (1983), which has a 5 m<br />

contour interval. The NPCA has recently updated the floodplain mapping for Frenchman’s<br />

Creek, using the most current topographic mapping (2002) which has a 1 m contour interval.<br />

A total of 83 culverts and bridges have been field surveyed, including upstream and downstream<br />

cross-sections, road profile and a photographic inventory (ref. Appendix ‘WC-E’). A list of<br />

structures have been included in Table 2.3.1.<br />

Updated floodplain mapping has been prepared for Black Creek, Beaver Creek, Baker Creek,<br />

Miller Creek, Kraft Drain and Six Mile Creek and is available at the NPCA, under separate cover<br />

(ref. Figure 14).<br />
