Approximate 1-percent annual chance floodplain boundaries in some portions of<br />
the study area were taken directly from the Flood Hazard Boundary Map for<br />
Yavapai County unless otherwise noted (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban<br />
Development, July 1978), the Town of Prescott Valley (<strong>FEMA</strong>, 1980), and<br />
Coconino County (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 1978).<br />
For Yavapai County, some approximate flood boundaries were delineated using<br />
the topographic maps previously cited (USACE, February 1977; USACE, 1974;<br />
Aerial Mapping Company, 1979; Aerial Mapping Company, 1982).<br />
For portions of West Clear Creek and other streams studied by approximate<br />
methods in the Town of Camp Verde, only the 1-percent annual chance floodplain<br />
boundary is shown on the FIRM (Exhibit 2). Approximate 1-percent annual<br />
chance floodplain boundaries in some portions of the study area were taken<br />
directly from the FIRM for Yavapai County (U.S. Department of Agriculture,<br />
1964).<br />
In the Town of Clarkdale, the boundaries for the approximate study on Minguez<br />
Wash were delineated on the same maps in conjunction with the determined<br />
elevations. The boundaries for the remaining approximate-studied streams were<br />
delineated on aerial photogrammetric maps at a scale of 1:8,400 (Cooper Aerial<br />
Surveys, Aerial Photogrammetry, Town of Clarkdale, Arizona, Scale 1:8,400,<br />
Tucson, Arizona, 1978). In accordance with <strong>FEMA</strong> guidelines, approximate<br />
floodplains less than 200 feet wide were determined to be areas of minimal<br />
flooding and were deleted.<br />
The boundaries for the approximate study on Bell Canyon Wash for<br />
approximately 1 mile with the upstream start at Jacks Canyon Road were<br />
delineated using aerial photogrammetric data provided by Yavapai County at a<br />
scale of 1 inch = 100 feet at a 2-foot contour mapping scale and HEC-RAS<br />
modeling by Stantec Consulting, Inc. in 2002.<br />
The boundaries for the approximate study of 2.7 river miles along Big Bug Creek,<br />
Red Rock Wash, Prickly Pear Wash, Concho Wash, Mesa Verde Wash, Black<br />
Rock Wash and Pima Wash were delineated using 2-foot contour mapping<br />
created from aerial photography flown at a scale of 1 inch = 100 feet provided by<br />
Cooper Aerial and collected in 1998. HEC-RAS modeling was done by Dibble<br />
and Associates in 1999.<br />
The boundaries for the approximate study of along Alberson Wash were<br />
delineated using 2-foot contour mapping created from aerial photography flown at<br />
a scale of 1 inch = 200 feet provided by Aerial Mapping Company, Inc., and<br />
collected in 1998. HEC-RAS modeling was done by ASL Consulting Engineers<br />
in 1999.<br />
The boundaries for the approximate study along Kachina Wash and Whistle Wash<br />
in the Town of Dewey-Humboldt were delineated using 2-foot contour mapping<br />
created from aerial photography flown at a scale of 1:6,000 provided by Cooper<br />
Aerial and collected in 1998. HEC-RAS modeling was done by Dibble and<br />
Associates in 2002.<br />
