Economics Appendix – Draft Report - <strong>Orestimba</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Feasibility</strong> <strong>Study</strong>, <strong>Stanislaus</strong> <strong>County</strong>, California – September 2012<br />

Attachment A: Without Project Hydrologic and Hydraulic Relationships<br />

Used in the FDA Model<br />

Along with the economic stage-damage functions, hydrologic and hydraulic functions are part of<br />

the flood damage analysis model. The probability-discharge and stage-discharge relationships<br />

were provided and developed by the H&H members of the <strong>Orestimba</strong> study team. These<br />

relationships in Attachment A represent without project conditions.<br />

Probability Curves<br />

For both Rural and Urban Areas, Exceedence probability-discharge curves were developed for<br />

the HEC-FDA model. An analytical Log Pearson Type III curve was used for this study<br />

(Mean=3.0782, Std. Dev.=0.5636, Skew=-0.6000, N=45). The discharge values in these<br />

relationships represent total flows both in channel and out in the floodplain. Table A1 displays<br />

the probability function used for both damage areas in the study.<br />
