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.
Site-specific information:
The shopping center located west of Seth Child Road and south of Anderson Ave is subject to localized flooding conditions. Localized flooding may occur at elevations lower than 1066 ft at this location, and the localized flooding may be more severe than the conditions depicted by the flood inundation map.
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.
