The CWCB Watershed Protection & Flood Mitigation Section performs work in the following major programmatic areas:
Floodplain Designation – Review and Approve 100-year floodplain information and supporting data on new maps as well as revisions and updates to existing floodplain maps and studies.
Floodplain Identification – Produce new and revised floodplain studies to identify flood hazard areas for use by federal, state and local entities as well as the public.
Prepare for and Respond to Flood Events – Prepare for and respond to flood events including conducting field and technical activities (e.g., documentation of the flood, providing technical guidance and support) in response to significant floods in Colorado. Staff the CWCB mitigation officer position during declared disasters.
Recover from and Mitigate Flood Hazards – Provide technical services to support recovery from and mitigation to flood and flood hazards. Includes providing post-flood technical guidance for immediate and future decision making under emergency conditions (including providing engineering, GPS, survey, and technical support) to aid the State and its citizens and helping implement “state-of-the-art” techniques that are feasible and practical.
 Partnership with Federal, State, and Local Entities – Participate in partnering with federal, state, and local entities for the management, marketing, and administration of flood and flood related programs. Identify and make recommendations regarding “Homeland Security” needs that correspond to other hazard reduction duties and existing relationships with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state Division of Emergency Management.
Multi-objective Planning and Projects – Participate with partners to plan and undertake multi-objective projects and watershed restoration studies to reduce flood hazards, stabilize and restore stream channels, provide habitat, reduce erosion, and increase the capacity to utilize water. Administer the Watershed Protection Fund and the projects approved by the Board and the Colorado Water Quality Control Division.
Statewide Outreach and Education – Conduct outreach and education activities such as participating in public awareness and program advocacy activities to increase public and organizational understanding of the CWCB.
Water Information – Make information accessible to CWCB’s customers and the public including maintaining and updating the floodplain Information Support System and CWCB flood web site, as well as general information related to the Section, through publications, the Internet, databases, and the imaging of documents.
Weather Modification – Permit and monitor weather modification operations to increase the amount of water available from winter and summer weather systems and to suppress hail.
The following is a quick reference to some of the ongoing and completed projects and programs under the CWCB Watershed Protection & Flood Mitigation Section. It is not a comprehensive list. Documents can be found through the Water Resource Information Center or by calling Section staff members.
