the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Peoria</strong> ADMP. Users <strong>of</strong> the <strong>North</strong><strong>Peoria</strong> ADMP should consult with the appropriatejurisdiction concerning specific planningelements, design criteria, and standardsfor multiple-use recreational needs. Discussionconcerning opportunities and constraintsfor multiple-use recreation, identified as part<strong>of</strong> the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Peoria</strong> ADMP, is located in <strong>North</strong><strong>Peoria</strong> ADMP, Technical Data Notebook,Attachment 5, Multi-Use OpportunitiesAssessment Report.Goal RR1 - Promote continuous trails and vistas <strong>of</strong>scenic areas along accessible washes.Goal RR2 - Promote connectivity between possiblewash corridor trail systems and to development,area destinations, and other shared-use recreationalfacilities.<strong>Flood</strong> HazardsAccording to ARS 48-3609A and under theauthority outlined in ARS 48-3605A floodplaindelineations shall be conducted on allwatercourses with drainage areas more than¼ <strong>of</strong> a square mile or having a 100-year estimatedflow rate <strong>of</strong> more than 500 cfs. <strong>Flood</strong>plaindelineations shall be conducted inconformance with State Standard 2-96 guidelines,guidelines presented in MaricopaCounty <strong>Drainage</strong> Design Manual Volume II-Hydraulics and guidelines presented in theCity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peoria</strong> Infrastructure DevelopmentGuidelines.Erosion HazardsGoal RR3 - Protect the integrity <strong>of</strong> washes whileproviding opportunities for recreation and theenjoyment <strong>of</strong> the natural environment and scenicareas.DESIGN GUIDELINESThe following design/planning guidelines arepresented to aid designers and planners intheir efforts. The guidelines are in part fromand in addition to guidelines and criteria presentedin Maricopa County <strong>Drainage</strong> DesignManual Volume II-Hydraulics, State Standardsdeveloped by the Arizona Department<strong>of</strong> Water Resources and the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peoria</strong>Infrastructure Development Guidelines.8QQDPHG:DVK27([DPSOHRID6WUXFWXUDO%DQN3URWHFWLRQ0HDVXUH'HVLJQHGWR0LQLPL]H/DWHUDO&KDQQHO0LJUDWLRQIn addition to establishing 100-year floodplainlimits, erosion hazard zone delineations shallbe conducted on all watercourses with drainageareas more than ¼ <strong>of</strong> a square mile or havea 100-year estimated flow rate <strong>of</strong> more than500 cfs. Erosion hazard delineation shall beconducted at a minimum in conformance withState Standard for Watercourse System SedimentationBalance (State Standard 5-96)guidelines. Depending on the level <strong>of</strong> detailneeded, State Standard 5-96 presents three levels<strong>of</strong> evaluation. Level I evaluation assumesthat the results <strong>of</strong> the evaluation will be moreconservative than results from a Level II or IIIevaluation. This assumption may be generallytrue, but may not be valid in areas <strong>of</strong> potentialchannel avulsion or lateral migration. Level IIand Level III evaluations are technically morerigorous and the results may or may not indicatereduced erosion hazard zones relative tothe results <strong>of</strong> a Level I evaluation.
