Opportunities and Constraints The study area embraces a series of known ground faults. The area has been designated as UBC2 (Universal Building Code 2) which requires construction to conform to standards based on criteria which includes an evaluation of earthquake risk zone. According to U.S. Geological Survey records, some faults in the area include the Dividend Fault, which parallels Tombstone Canyon and ends at Saginaw along Highway 80. The Quarry Fault, which extends south southwest from the Dividend through Naco Limestone to the east and Escabrosa limestone to the west, intersecting the Escabrosa Fault. The Escabrosa runs roughly west northwest and east southeast, terminating at Don Luis. About one mile south southwest of the Escabrosa is the Abrigo Fault, which terminates at the edge of the Espinal Plain one mile west of Don Luis. Southeast of Warren, an arching fault runs east of Black Gap foothill, and on the southerly side of Gold Hill, turning in a southerly direction into Mexico east of monument 85, benchmark 4443. East of Gold Hill is the Glance Overthrust Fault, a semi-circle around the peak southeast of Black Knob Hill. Hydrology Bisbee is located in the mountains which result in run-off that is carried through washes. In the early years of Old Bisbee flood waters rushed through the streets. Conveyance of flood waters is now handled by way of the municipal culvert or subway in Tombstone Canyon. This storm water culvert began as early as 1910 and has been extended and rebuilt with the Work Project America (WPA) program in the 1930’s. Keeping the culvert clear of debris and vegetation is a challenge and over the years floodwaters have taken their toll causing walls to be undermined and erosion in areas where the bed of the channel is unlined. The flatter areas of Warren and San Jose do not experience this same flood intensity. The City of Bisbee uses the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). City of Bisbee General Plan Update 2003 17 Volume I, Data and Analysis
Opportunities and Constraints Flood Management Cochise County Highway and Floodplain Department handles the City flood plain management. The Highway Operations Division of Cochise County Highway and Floodplain Department is charged with constructing and maintaining certain designated public roadways in Cochise County. This does not include roads within the incorporated cities and towns, State highways and certain public roads not constructed to County standards and not approved by the County Board of Supervisors. The Opportunities and Constraints map included in the appendix shows the extent of the 100-year floodplain, as delineated by FEMA and as provided by Cochise County Highway and Floodplain Department. The existing FEMA maps need to be revised to delineate current floodplain conditions. A letter of map revision process needs to be initiated with FEMA to delineate current floodplain extent within the study area. Drainage According to the Arizona Floodplain Management Association (AFMA) and City of Bisbee records, historically, Old Bisbee has faced recurrent flood problems. Rapid growth into the canyons formed by the Mule and Brewery Gulches situated much of the town directly in the floodplain. The town was regularly plagued with floods particularly during the summer monsoons. The problem was exacerbated by the extensive removal of vegetation that could have helped in retarding the ferocity of the monsoon run-off. Many of the trees lining the gulches and in the canyons were removed for mining, to construct buildings or simply for fuel consumption By 1900, the community saw the necessity for flood control. The first attempt at flood control involved the construction of a massive wooden floodgate on Main Street (essentially Mule Gulch). The gate was designed to divert floodwater, as it rushed down Main Street, into an earthen channel behind the commercial district. The system, however, was dependent upon a "spotter(s)" located up Tombstone Canyon who would signal for the closing of the floodgate. If, for some reason, the spotter(s) or others passing the signal along the line failed to execute their duty, or if the signals could not be heard over the din of the storm, the floodgate would not be closed in time and the downtown area City of Bisbee General Plan Update 2003 18 Volume I, Data and Analysis
