There are many residential and commercial developments
located in the flood plain at the present time , and
continuing economic development within the study area
is expected . Intensified flood plain use will undoubt-
edly accompany such development .

A regional flood - frequency report by Lopez and Fields
( Reference 2 ) was used to determine flood frequencies
up to 50 years in this report . The regional flood-
frequency report by Lopez and Fields was based on log-
Pearson Type III analysis ( Reference 3 ) of individual
station records and the regionalization was developed
using multiple regression techniques .
Discharges for the 100- and 500 - year floods of all streams
were determined by extrapolation of a log graph proba-
bility of flood discharges computed for frequencies up
to 50 years . The equations to compute the discharges
used in this frequency graph are :

Channel roughness factors ( Manning's " n " ) for these
computations were assigned on the basis of field
inspection of flood plain areas .

In cases where the 100- and 500 - year flood boundaries
are close together only the 100 - year flood boundary has
been shown .

Zone B: Areas between the Special Flood
Hazard Areas and the limits of the
500 - year flood , including areas of
the 500 - year flood plain that are
protected from the 100 - year flood
by dike , levee , or other water
control structure ; also areas sub-
ject to certain types of 100 - year
shallow flooding where depths are
less than 1.0 foot ; and areas sub-
ject to 100 -year flooding from
sources with drainage areas less
than 1 square mile . Zone B is
not subdivided .
