IN addition to extensive .evec work. In
the portion of this report dealing with
the drainage area and rainfall data 1t
was shown that the peak flow result
ing from the maximum assumed storm
would be $4,000 second feet.
Preliminary studies based on incom-
plete data indicate that a concrete

method of passing the peak flow thru
Pueblo. Such n channel of lss.000 sec

cost.
Studies have been made of smaller
concrete Incl channel supplemented
with grass channels In the nature OF
sunken gardens, one on each side OF
the concrete channel. The additional
cost for bridges and for right of way
under this arrangement would prob
ably bring the cost to about S',OOo.ooos
Under Plan q the grde of all bridges
should be raised to provide a minimum
clearance of not less than 10 feet be

would pobably necessitate raising the
railroad grades generally thruout the
city, also some of the street grades.

Contour interval 50 feeD shows basin
Of small capacity.
In the portion of this report dealing
with drainage area and rainfall data.
1t has been estimated that total vol
ume of 1854 900 acre feet would result
from an average run-off of 3h inches
over the Fountain Creek drainage area
Of $50 square miles. 1t is assumed that
this run-off would occur in u hours.
From Diagram No. 1t will be noted
that a flood detention reservoir with
outlet capacity of 5000 second feet
(the assumed safe limit Of flow with
out bank protection) would require a
capacity OF $1,000 acre feet. Tho esti-
mated cost of this amount of storage
in the Steel Hollow Reservoir Site is
50. 900. 600. As stated above the avail
able data on which these studies are
based is very meagre and both the ca
pacities and estimated costs may be
very much In error.
1t should be noted that Plan D would
benefit property interests down the Ar
kansas Valley below Pueblo by reduc-
ing the peak flow in Fountain Creek
to $4,000 second feet.
PLAN f. a solution of the flood
problem on Fountain Creek by bank
protection alone has been considered
and this plan appears to have consider
a BILE merit. The protective work would
probably extend from a point north of
the city limits to the junction with
Arkansas River and would include pro-
lection to both banks of the flood
plane. In addition to bank protection
1t !s believed essential that all bridge
grades over the Fountain be substan-
TALLY raised. This would also necessi-
tate raising the railroad grades III

show that hot dumped Stag averaging

ing steel sheet pling at the toe of
slope and extending for three miles
along both sides of the stream. to-
gether with the raising of bridge and
railroad grades, would cost approxi
mately s25oo.Ooo. It is believed that
bank protection Of this kind would
make Fountain Creek safe against the
greatest probable flood.
Plan E would. OF course. not benefit
property interests in the Arkansas VAL
ley below Pueblo inasmuch as II would
have no effect In reducing the flood
peaks from Fountain Creek.
PLAN r. Consideration has been
given to the possibility OF controlling
the Fountain Creek floods by confining
the stream in a concrete lined channel
for a reach OF about three miles above
ite junction with the Arkansas River,
This plan would also involve raising
bridge and railroad grades as In the
case of Plan f. Rough estimates show
that this plan would cost approximate

ly S2.5oo. 900 for a channel of sufficient
capacity to carry the estimated peak
flow of 10000 second feet. This plan
will. It is believed. warrant careful
consideration.
It should be noted tina. Plan r would
not benefit property interests in the
Arkansas Valley below Pueblo.
PLAN G. Another alternative plan
for flood control on Fountain Creek is
embraced in combination OF flood de-
tention storage and either bank pro-
lection or channel enlargement. Two
com binations OF detention storage and
channel enlargement have been con-
sidered. resulting in the following es-
timated costs:
Under Plan C the bridge grades and
railroad grades would be raised in pro-
portion to the channel capacity pro-
vided. II will be noted that the peak
flow In Fountain Creek is very mater
tally reduced even with n small deten-
costs under this plan with the cost un-
der Plan r or Plan r suggests the pro-
liability that bank protection alone or
channel enlargement alone will prove
moro economical than any combination
with detention storage. Property In
terosts In tho Arkansas Valley below
Pueblo would be benefited in proper
ton to the reduction Of peak flow in
Fountain Creek under Plan G.

Preliminary consideration hau been
