An inter-.diat. ~uni ty coordination ... ting was held on February 18, 1982, to allow ~nity repre.entaUve. to review the draft .tudy. Repre.entative. of the Pederal Bllergency Manage .. nt Agency, the .tudy contractor, the U.S. ArllY Corps of Engineer., Salt Lake County, and the CiU •• of Sandy City, Riv.rton, Bluffdale, Draper • .... t Jordan, and South Jordan attended the Meting. Representatives trOW! sever al of the ~niUe. west of the Jordan River expressed concern that only approxiJlate atudies had been perforJlied on the .phe_ral atre_ that drain the Oquirrh Mountain.. It was explained that this .a. done because of the li_ited developaent on that side of the valley.

A final ~unity coordination Meting for Salt Lake County and the CiUe. of Riverton and South Jordan .as held on Deceaber It, 1983. In attendance were repre.entativ.s of the Pederal Ellergency Manag_nt Agency, the study contractor, the county, al'd the incorporated ~nit1es. 'J'Wo .. jar concerns raised at the Meting vere that the studies did not reflect flows frc. the 1983 flood, and the conversion of the detailed study r.aches of the Jordan Riv.r between 2100 South Street and the North Jordan Canal Diversion Daa to approx1aate study. It .a. agr.ed that these probl •• would be addreuec1 during the appeal. period along with other aincr concerns raiNd by the individual co.aunities and the rounty. All requesta were considered and, where appropriate, were acted upon in the preparation of this study.

Soutb Jordan cover. an area of approai .. tely 26.0 .quare _ile., 16.0 square miles of which are u.ed for alriculture (.-o.tly in the we.tern portion of the city). Anotber 9.4 .quare .ile. are u.ed for re.idential area.. The r ... inin. are. i. u.ed for cOCllllN!rcial purpo.es.

The County ... terplan use. the canals to carry .torm runoff to the natural cb.nnels. The eace .. from the canal would be discharged to the natural channel. Hany improvements to the canals and the cbannele are required before this system can fully function.

Dry and Willow Creek. are intermittent stream. that drain the .outhea.tern part of the valley. These stream. have fairly steep gradient. a. they era .. the terraces, but become quite flat as they reach the valley floor.

Two intermittent .tre .... originate from the Oquirrh Mountains and traverse the terrace. between tb. mountain. and the valley floor. Binlb .. Creek cuts tbroulh the northwe.tern COrner of the city, and Hida. Creek nearly p.r.llels the .outbern corporate limits. These .tre ... u.ually flow duri:al .no .... lt and storm runoff.

2.3 Principal Plood Problea

Plooding in the Salt Lake Valley generally occurs due to three typea of eventa, anow.elt runoff, cloudburst rainstorms. and general rainator_. S~lt flooda usually occur in April. May. and June. Cloudburet rainstor. are high-intensity, short-duration storms that uaually occur over a relatively aaall area. Theae storms are cbuacterhed by high runoff peaka, but low volWDe8. They generally occur fro. June through October. General rainator ... are caused by low-intenaity, rainfall occurring over a longer period of time . Theae atoru can have a higher peak than the 8nowwtelt flood and a higher volu. than the cloudburat events. General rainstorms can OCCUr a t any tiJle. The history of Salt Lake County indicates that flooding can occur fro. any of these events. However, the most dr_tic and extenaive flooding baa been due to anotnlelt and cloud­bur at flooda.

Significant s~lt flowa occurred in the area in 1909, 1912, 1921, 1949, 1952, 1953, and: 1975. In the 1921 flood, the Jordan River had a ..an daily flow of 1,020 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the Jordan Marrowa O.S. Geological Survey atre .. gage (No . 10167000), with an eatt.ated return interval of 20 yeara. The .,.t notable flood on record in the Salt Lake Valley occurred during April and May 1952. Thia flood waa cauaed by the rapid .. ltin~ of an unuau.lly l.rge anowpack 01"1 the W-!la.tch Mountains . The_an daily flow for thia flood waa 1,410 cfa, with an eatt.ated return inter.al of SO yeara, and was alao recorded at the Jordan Narrows atre .. gage.

2.4 Plood Protection Meaaurea

Otah r..ke, at the head of the Jordan River, afforda a reduction of floodflowe along the Jordan River above 2100 Street South. This lake h • natural water body that has been artificially -=>4ified .a that the water-aurface elevation can be controlled through the u .. of .. veral large radial gates and. a puaping atation. The ability to rai .. and lower the lake elevation caused conflicts between the .ater u.s.re and the property owners adjac.nt to the lake. To reeolye the conflicts, a -cc.proai •• level,- on elevation of 4,489.34 feet, wa. agr.ed on in 1885. Whenev.r runoff forecaats indi cate that the •• tar aurface .Ul exceed the co.pro.ise level, the lake 18 drawn down to per.it diecharg •• co.parable to natural Conditions .

A nu.ber of irri9ation diverdona alon9 tha Jordan River near the south.r", boundary of Salt Lake County, .uch a. Turner DaJI at Jordan .. rrowe, can eub.tantially reduce floodflowa. Mo.t outflow fro. Otah X.k., ezcept &lri"9 perioda of high flow, can be diverted to th ... canolle .

Officials of salt Lake County have estabUahed a Plood Control and Water Quality Diviaion in their Public Works OepartJlent. It is the r.eponaibility of thi. office to ..,.age and enforce develo~nt and flood-control ordinance. in the unincorporated areas of the county. 'lb. 4epartMnt alao works with the incorporated ~nties within th'.1 county, a. requ.eted, to .. nage and review flood-control projects. Salt r..ke County alao baa a countywide flood-eontrol tax that enable. it to obtain fund. for use in construction of new flood control project. and .. intenanee of exiating facilitiea.

3.0 IIIIGINBllRIHG JIIITIIalS

Por the flooding source. atudied in detail in the ~nity, atandard hydrologic and hydraulic atudy _tbOCSS were used to deter.ioe the flood haaard data required for thi. study. Plood events of a _9"itude which ar. expected to be equalled. or exceeded .!!!5!. on the avera9. during any 10-, 50-, 100-, or 500-year period (recurrence interval) have been selected a. having epeeial .ignificance for flood plain .. nage .. nt and for flood inaurance pre.iUII rate.. 'l'he.e event., ~ly terMcS the 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-y.ar flood., bay. a 10, 2, 1, and 0.2 percent chance, r .. poct1va1y, of being equalled or e.-..s during any year. Although the r.currence interval r.pr •• enta the long ter. averase period between flooda of • specific ugnitude. rcre flooda could occur at abort int.rvale or even within the ... year. '!'be r18k of experiencing a rare flood incr •••••• en period. 9r.at.r than 1 year ate con.idered. Por eXUlPl., the riak of baving a flood which equals or exceecSa the 100-year flood (1 percent diance of annual occurrence) in any 50-year period ia approxi­ately 40 percent (4 in 10), and, for any 90-year period, the ri.k in­cr.aae. to approxiaat.ly 60 percent (6 in 10). '!'he analyses reported h.re r.flect flooding pot.ntiala baaed on conditions exiating in the ~uni ty at the tiM of oc.pletion of thi. atudy. Mape and flood eleva­tiona .ill be .. oded periodically to refl.ct futUre changee •

3.1 Bydrologic Analy ...

Bydrologic analye.a were carr ied out to eatabUah the peak diacharge­frequency relat10nahipe for flood. of the .elected recurr.nce intervals for each flc:oding source etudied in detail affecting the ~nity.

Several etre .. gage. have been operated by the City of salt r..ke City and the O.S. Geological Survey on count}" .tr .... dnc. the begiMlr'9 of the century (Refer.nce. 3 and 4). 'J'b. O.S. Geological Survey baa operated .tre_ 9ag. Ro. 10167000 at Jordan Marrawa dnce 1913 and alao ran a .tre .. gage at 9400 South Street (Mo. 10167200) frOli 1965 to 1968.

Bxisting atreaallow information is not adequate to predict cloudburst runoff values downstream of the canyon mouths, vhere flows depend on inflow tra. the urban area. To obtain flow values for Dry and Willow Creeks, the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-l computer runoff .ade l vas used (Reference S). This model uses a kinema tic vave calculation to produce runoff due to rainfall . The model ~tes and routes flows based on physical characteristics of the ba.in (such as percentage of imperviousness, infiltration rates , basin area, and slope) and storm characteristics (such as precipitation depths and rainfall distribution and duration). Rainfall depths were obtained frc. Precipitation Frequency Atlas of the western United States, Volume VI, prepared by the National Oceanic and At.ospheric Aa.inistration (Reference 6). Because of the lack of available rainfall-runoff data, it was not possible to calibrate the oo.puter model.

Peak d1echarge-drainage area relationships for each stream studied in detail are shown in Table 1.

3.2 Hydraulic Analyses

Analyses of the hydraulic characteristics of the flooding sources studied 1n the oo..unity vere carried out to provide estt.8tes of the elevations of floods of the selected recurrence intervals along each of these flooding sources.

water-surface elevations of floods of the selected recurrence intervals for the detailed studied strea.. vere oo.puted using the O.S. Ar8y Corps of Engineers BEC-2 step-backvater ~ter prograa (Reference 7).

Cros. section data for Dry and Willow Creeks were developed by the O.S. At., Corpe of Engineer. for the 1974 Flood Plain Infor .. tion report (Reference 8). Cros. sections vere taken fra. topographic asps at a scale of It600, vith a contour interval of 4 feet (Reference 9), suppl ... nted bf additional survey data provided bf the county. SUpple .. ntal cro .. section. to define new bridges or chang.s in topography vere -.de as a part of this Plood In.urance Study. All bridg •• , da .. , and culverts vere field checked to obtain infor .. tion to de.cribe their structural 9eo~try.

Location. of sel.cted cro .. section. u.ed in the hydraulic analyses are 8hown on the Flood Profiles (Exhibit l). POr strea. s~nt8 foe which. floodway i. ~ted (Section 4.2), .elected cross ..etion location. are also ahown on the Plood Boundary and Floodway Map (Bxblblt 2).

Channel roughnes8 factor. (Manning's -n-) used in the hydraulic oo.putation. vere cho.en by engineering jud~ent and ba.ed on field obeerv.tion. of the .tr .... and flood plain area.. Roughness values ranged fra. 0. 030 to 0.040 for .. in channel. and fra. 0. 040 to 0.060 for overbank ar ••••

In the .. p initiatives fo~t, all base flood elevations, cro., section" and floodplain and floodway boundaries are ,hown on the Flood Insurance aate Map. The Flood Insurance Zone Designation. were chanaed to reflect the Hap Initiatives format as follows:

Zone A

Zone A i. the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the IOO-year floQdplain. that are deterained in the 1100d In Jrance Study by approaiaate .... thod.. Because detailed hydraulic analyses are not perfo~d for such areas, no baae flood elevations or deptb. are .hown within this zone.

Zone A!

Zone A! is tbe flood insurance rate zone that corruponds to the IOO-year flOodplain. tbat are determined in tbe Flood Insurance Study by detailed .. tbods. Whole-foot base flood elevations derived frota tbe detailed bydraulic analyses are sbown at selected interval. witbin tbi. zone.

Zone AS

Zone AS it tbe flood in.urance rate zone that correspond. to the ar'" of laO-year .ballow flo04ina (u.ually areas of pond ina) vbere averaae deptb. are between I &ad 3 feet. Whole-foot base flood elevation. derived frOil the detailed hydraulic analyse. are .bown at .elected interval. within this zone.

Zone X

Zone X is the flood in.urance rate zone that correspond. to areas oUClide tbe SOO-year floodplain, area, wi thiD tbe SaO-year flood­plain, area. of lOO-year flood in, where avera,e depths are 1 ... tban 1 foot, ar .. , of lOO-year floodina vhere tbe contributina draina,e area i.
