The BLE process involves using best available data and incorporating automated techniques with traditional model development procedures to produce regulatory quality flood hazard boundaries for the 1-percent annual chance event as well as estimates of flood hazard boundaries for multiple recurrence intervals. <\/SPAN><\/P>

The source digital terrain data used for surface model development in support of hydrologic and hydraulic analysis as well as mapping activities were leveraged from various local, State and Federal partners. Details regarding the different datasets used are provided below in Section 1.1. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Flood discharges for this study were calculated using both United States Geological Survey (USGS) regression equations and gage analyses, where stream gages with sufficient records exist. Regression equations obtained from the USGS Scientific Investigations Report (SIR) 2009-5087, Regression Equations for Estimation of Annual Peak-Streamflow Frequency for Undeveloped Watersheds in Texas Using an L-moment-Based, PRESS-Minimized, Residual-Adjusted Approach (2009) were used. PeakFQ version 7.1 was used to perform Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) for the three gages along Denton Creek. <\/SPAN><\/P>

The Hydrologic Engineering Center\u2019s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) program version 4.1 was used to compute water surface elevations on a stream by stream basis. All hydraulic models were computed using 1-D steady state analysis. <\/SPAN><\/P>

The stream mile network that was validated for these watersheds was compiled using FEMA\u2019s Community Needs Management Strategy (CNMS) inventory. CNMS is an inventory of flood hazard studies and flood hazard mapping needs for areas where a study is needed. This data is helpful for community officials in analyzing and depicting flood hazards to enhance the understanding of flood risks. Communities may use this information to make informed decisions on their planning and flood mitigation efforts. Table ES - 1 lists the stream miles associated with this validation analysis. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Lower West Fork Trinity HUC-8 Watershed, TX BLE Results\nUpper West Fork Trinity HUC-8 Watershed, TX BLE Results\nElm Fork Trinity Watershed, TX BLE Results\nDenton Watershed, TX BLE Results", "title": "GISDATA.ADMIN.TC_FLD_HAZ_AR", "tags": [ "FEMA", "BLE", "Base Flood Elevation", "Flood Data", "Flood Plain" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 500000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contracted Halff Associates (Halff) to complete a Base Level Engineering (BLE) analysis for the HUC-08 watershed No. 12030102 \u2013 Lower West Fork Trinity in North Texas, to support the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Federal Emergency Management Agency\u2019s (FEMA) Discovery process and validation of effective Zone A Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs).
