2.1 Scope of Study
Note areas excluded from study, as well as areas of extraterritorial jurisdiction:
List the flooding sources studied in detail (detailed study streams should be listed
in the same order as they appear in the profiles). If they are also partially studied
by approximate methods, provide the limits of detailed study:
Chester Creek from 2°' Ave. to S. Sands Road (approximately 7 river

N/A
If applicable, discuss streams on which study was terminated where the 100 -year
floodplain permanently narrowed to less than 200 feet wide or for which detailed
study was ended where the drainage area was less than 1 square mile:

sufficient description of climatic, physiographic, and land use factors to support the
discussion of flood problems that follows (Section 2.3).

(See prior Spokane County, Unincorporated Areas Flood Insurance Study.
FEMA, 1992)
Give the locations (city and state) of all stream gages for studied streams:
No long-term gage records exist for Chester Creek. Limited gage
measurements of the flow along Chester Creek were made as part of a
previous hydrology investigation (HYDMET, 1997). The gage data were
collected near the Dishman-Mica Road crossing of Chester Creek from
December 1994 through March 1995 and November 1995 through
February 1996. No significant flood events occurred during the period of
record.
(See FIS Hydrology Analysis for Chester Creek, Spokane County, WA.
WEST, 2004)
Note any factors that aggravate flood problems:
(See FIS Hydrology Analysis for Chester Creek, Spokane County, WA.
WEST, 2004)
Provide photos of flooding, flood control structures, etc. (with location of photo
noted):
See Photo Log at the end of this document
2.4 Flood Protection Measures
Describe all flood protection structures and floodplain management measures used
to reduce potential flood damage:
Community and agency concerns about the extent of flooding and
uncertainties regarding existing floodplain mapping resulted in the
development of a watershed plan for Chester Creek. The goal of that
plan was to identify management recommendations for issues of
drainage and flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat. Because of
that watershed planning effort, projects to construct various
improvements along Chester Creek between Thorpe Road and Schaffer
Road have been implemented by Spokane County. In 1998, a project to
install new culverts and extensive dredging of the channel between
Study Contractor: WEST Consultants, Inc. Page 43

Spokane County, Washington
Thorpe Road and Schaffer Road was implemented. Additionally, as part
of a Spokane County improvement project for Dishman-Mica Road, a
large volume borrow pit was constructed to act as a retention and
infiltration facility for the floodwaters of Chester Creek.
(See FIS Hydrology Analysis for Chester Creek, Spokane County, WA.
WEST, 2004)
Mention all dams, including those affecting the community that lie outside the
community:
Mention dams within the community used for purposes other than flood control:
If levees are mentioned, state whether the levees meet or fail to meet the FEMA 3 -

consists of 5 separate reaches with a total of 265 cross-sections and 26
bridges/culverts.
State how starting water -surface elevations were obtained for all streams studied by
detailed methods:
Normal depth was specified at the downstream end of Chester Creek based
on the ground slope near the downstream end of the model reach. Three
reaches end in storage areas modeled in HSPF as part of the hydrologic
analysis. The known water surface elevation from HSPF output was used
as the starting water surface elevation for these reaches.
Describe the methodology for wave height/runup, lacustrine, ice jam, alluvial fan
flooding, and shallow flooding areas (where applicable):
N/A
If applicable, reference the Transect Descriptions which should include: transect
number, location, 100 -year stillwater elevation, and maximum 100 -year wave
elevation.
N/A
If performed, describe the hydraulic analyses for the approximate flooding sources:
N/A
If applicable, reference the Transect Data Table which should include: Flooding
Source (with the affected transects), 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500 -year stillwater
elevation, zone designation and Base Flood Elevation.
N/A
If applicable, reference the Transect Location Map.
N/A
Specify whether elevations are referenced to NGVD or NAVD or other datum, and
give releveling dates, if any.

4.0 FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS
4.1 Floodplain Boundaries
Identify all maps used. Include the scale, contour interval, and type of map
(topographic, compiled from aerial photographs, etc.):
Maps used are two foot contour interval topographic maps (developed by
TerraPoint from LiDAR data) over 1993 aerial orthophotos. Digital files
and paper copies of 4 work maps (1" = 400') labeled `Panel A' through
`Panel D' have been provided to FEMA.
Identify and reference all maps or methods used to delineate floodplain boundaries
for approximate flooding sources:

4.2 Floodways
List streams, if any, for which floodway widths extend beyond the corporate limits:
N/A
List streams affected by backwater:
N/A
Provide method used for floodway computations:
The Regulatory floodway is defined as the portion of the river
and adjacent land area that must remain unobstructed to ensure that the
water surface elevation does not cumulatively increase more than one
foot above the base flood elevation (BFE). No existing floodway had
been previously defined for Chester Creek. Typically, an encroachment
analysis is computed from both the left and right channel banks towards
the river channel using an "equal conveyance reduction" method. This
approach was utilized where appropriate, however floodway analyses were
conducted in multiple areas where no channel exists. Notably, the
downstream reach of Chester Creek extends approximately 2 miles beyond
the end of the channel in the borrow pit at 2r Ave. Downstream of 28th
Ave., flood discharges flows through fields as well as residential and
commercial areas. In these areas the floodway was routed along existing
surface streets where possible to avoid existing structures. Throughout
much of the study area and particularly in the upstream reaches the 100 -
year water surface is confined within the main channel and therefore
typically an energy increase of zero is listed. The Floodway Tables from
RAS are shown later in this document.
Give reason or reasons why no floodway was delineated for streams or portions of
streams:
N/A
Identify any abnormal procedures (such as state -imposed surcharges of less than
1.0 foot) for floodway delineations:
N/A
7.0 OTHER STUDIES
Identify and reference all other FISs for contiguous communities and any other published
reports or available data dealing with related flooding sources. All disagreements and
discrepancies must be noted and resolved:

Floodway Tables
Equal conveyance encroachment analyses were conducted (Table 1). No existing floodway had
been previously defined for Chester Creek. Typically, an encroachment analysis is computed from
both the left and right channel banks towards the river channel using an "equal conveyance
reduction" method. This approach was used where appropriate, however floodway analyses were
conducted in multiple areas where no channel exists. Notably, the downstream reach of Chester
Creek extends approximately 2 miles beyond the end of the channel in the borrow pit at 28th Ave.
Downstream of 28th Ave. flood discharges flows through fields as well as residential and
commercial areas. In these areas the floodway was routed along existing surface streets where
possible to avoid existing structures.
