This report also must be made available to City Council, the media and the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Attached is a copy of this report. This report covers activities under the 2016 Larimer County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan assesses vulnerabilities to both natural and man-made hazards and recommends mitigation strategies for the various hazards. The CRS is a program that provides an incentive for communities to go beyond the minimum FEMA requirements for floodplain management. A benefit for participation in the program is discounted insurance premiums for residents and businesses that purchase flood insurance. Fort Collins currently holds a Class 2 CRS rating, which results in up to a 40% discount on flood insurance premiums. However, even more important than the insurance discount is the improved health and safety of the community. The report has been included with the City Council packet on the City Docs portion of www.fcgov.com. More specifically, the report can be found at: http://citydocs.fcgov.com/?dt=MAIL+PACKET&dn=CITY+CLERK&vid=218&cmd=showdt If you have any questions on this report or the CRS program, please contact Heidi Hansen at (970) 221-6854 or hhansen@fcgov.com.

CRS PROGRAM The CRS program is a voluntary incentive program that provides flood insurance discounts to citizens and businesses based on a community’s floodplain management activities that go above and beyond minimum floodplain management standards. The Northern Colorado Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and Larimer County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan address not only flood issues but other natural and man-made hazards. It is credited under the Flood Damage Reduction Activities section of the CRS program. The City of Fort Collins was presented with a Class 2 award at a City Council Meeting in June 2016 putting the City in the top 5 communities nationwide that participate in the CRS program. Citizens and businesses receive up to a 40% discount on their flood insurance premiums due to the City’s progressive floodplain management program.

The current BBRSA members have been working together for over 8 years. This watershed or basin encompasses over 265 square miles and extends from just north of the Wyoming border to the Poudre River on the south. Because the Boxelder Creek floodplain affects many property owners and several local governments, intensive efforts were made to develop a regional flood hazard mitigation plan. It should be noted that Coal Creek and Indian Creek both feed into Boxelder Creek near the Town of Wellington. The communities of Fort Collins, Wellington, Timnath, Windsor, and Larimer County all shared a common goal in mitigating the flood hazard posed by Boxelder Creek. The Alliance was formed in early 2005 to develop a “regional” solution that is more efficient, wide ranging and cost effective than the entities could develop independently. It was determined that the best approach to basin wide flood hazard mitigation would be to prepare a common plan for flood mitigation improvements within the Basin. Members of the Alliance pooled funding to prepare a storm water Master Plan for the Boxelder Basin. The resulting Boxelder Creek Regional Stormwater Master Plan (Master Plan) was completed in October 2006. RECOMMENDATION: The Boxelder Creek Master Plan developed a list of conceptual regional stormwater improvement projects and recommended the formation of a Stormwater Authority to fund and implement the regional stormwater improvements. ACTION: The original Master Plan recommended the following Boxelder Creek Regional Stormwater Master Plan Phase I regional stormwater projects:  Diversion of Coal Creek to Clark Reservoir  Edson (East Side) Detention Reservoir  Middle Boxelder Creek Stream Improvements  Larimer and Weld Crossing Structure. The Diversion of Coal Creek to Clark Reservoir (later known as the Coal Creek Flood Mitigation Project) was designed and construction completed by the BBRSA in cooperation with Larimer County in 2011. The project diverts stormwater flows from Coal Creek (which is tributary to Boxelder Creek) into the Clark Reservoir Inlet Canal and ultimately into Clark Reservoir. Revisions were necessary to the master plan improvements due to site constraints and location of the detention facility, improvements to County Road 52 and the addition of the Town of Timnath as a financial partner to the BBRSA. The updated regional stormwater projects consist of:  East Side Detention Facility DocuSign Envelope ID: A59D081B-9A7B-4C64-ABC6-F1B8A4D997E9 Page 497 LARIMER COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN  Larimer Weld Canal Crossing Structure  County Road 52 Improvements Construction of the projects is phased. The East Side Detention Facility/County Road 52 Improvements began construction in August 2015 at a total cost of approximately $7.5 million. The Larimer Weld Canal Crossing Structure construction will begin in October2015 at a cost of approximately $650,000. All construction is scheduled for completion by early 2016. LEAD AGENCY: Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority (BBRSA) – Established by IGA between Fort Collins, Larimer County and Wellington. EXPECTED COST: Total of $19 million. SUPPORT AGENCIES: N/A POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: BBRSA stormwater service and system development fees, FEMA grant funding, Timnath financial contributions toward the ESDF and CR52 Improvements, and some CR 52 Improvements funding from Fort Collins, Larimer County and Timnath. PROGRESS MILESTONES: Construction of ESDF began in August, 2015. Construction of LWCCS is targeted to begin after the irrigation season ends in October. Construction of County Road 52 Improvements began in September, 2015. All construction is targeted to be completed by early 2016. Letter of Map Revisions (LOMR’s) will be submitted to FEMA in early 2016.

Members of the Alliance pooled funding to prepare a storm water Master Plan for the Boxelder Basin. The resulting Boxelder Creek Regional Stormwater Master Plan (Master Plan) was completed in October 2006. RECOMMENDATION: The Boxelder Creek Master Plan developed a list of conceptual regional stormwater improvement projects and recommended the formation of a Stormwater Authority to fund and implement the regional stormwater improvements. ACTION: The original Master Plan recommended the following Boxelder Creek Regional Stormwater Master Plan Phase I regional stormwater projects:  Diversion of Coal Creek to Clark Reservoir  Edson (East Side) Detention Reservoir  Middle Boxelder Creek Stream Improvements  Larimer and Weld Crossing Structure. The Diversion of Coal Creek to Clark Reservoir (later known as the Coal Creek Flood Mitigation Project) was designed and construction completed by the BBRSA in cooperation with Larimer County in 2011. The project diverts stormwater flows from Coal Creek (which is tributary to Boxelder Creek) into the Clark Reservoir Inlet Canal and ultimately into Clark Reservoir. Revisions were necessary to the master plan improvements due to site constraints and location of the detention facility, improvements to County Road 52 and the addition of the Town of Timnath as a financial partner to the BBRSA. The updated regional stormwater projects consist of:  East Side Detention Facility DocuSign Envelope ID: A59D081B-9A7B-4C64-ABC6-F1B8A4D997E9 Page 497 LARIMER COUNTY 2016 MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN  Larimer Weld Canal Crossing Structure  County Road 52 Improvements Construction of the projects is phased. The East Side Detention Facility/County Road 52 Improvements began construction in August 2015 at a total cost of approximately $7.5 million. The Larimer Weld Canal Crossing Structure construction will begin in October2015 at a cost of approximately $650,000. All construction is scheduled for completion by early 2016.
