Determination of 100-Year Floodplain Elevations at Los Alamos National Laboratory

McLin SG. 1992. Determination of 100-Year Floodplain Elevations at Los Alamos National Laboratory. LA-12195-MS. Los Alamos National Laboratory. Los Alamos, NM

Under existing permit requirements, the US Environmental Protection Agency stipulates that facilities regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act must delineate all 100-yr floodplain elevations within their boundaries. At Los Alamos these floodplains are located within ungaged watersheds that drain Pajarito Plateau. This report documents the floodplain computational mapping procedure and, along with supporting maps, is intended to satisfy this permit requirement
