Graphical representation of flood inundation for NWS flood categories are based on steady state hydraulic modeling of water surface elevations for incremented discharges. Map shows approximate inundation areas for given water surface elevations and should not be used for navigation or permitting or other legal purposes, but strictly as a planning reference tool.
Extended rating:
Rating Curve Extension - The Rating Curve Extension is calculated by using either a linear, logarithmic, or hydraulic technique to extend the rating curve above the currently established relationship between stage and flow.
Flood Impacts
36
Extreme out of bank flooding will occur along the creek.
30
Major out of bank flooding will occur along the creek.
28.3
Moderate out of bank flow is expected.
28
Moderate out of bank flooding will occur.
26
Minor out of bank flow will occur along the creek. Water will begin flowing into an overflow channel through two overflow bridges.
