Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels for Athabasca River and Happy, Hardisty and Maskuta Creeks through Hinton. The study area includes an almost 10 km reach of the Athabasca River, an almost 4 km reach of Hardisty Creek and less than 1 km reaches of both Happy and Maskuta Creeks. The design discharge for the Athabasca River is 1390 m³/s. The design discharges for Happy, Hardisty and Maskuta Creeks are 33.2 m³/s, 10.6 m³/s and 134 m³/s respectively. The study was prepared in May 1994. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

Description

The Canmore Flood Risk Mapping Study was conducted as part of the Canada-Alberta Flood Damage Reduction Program to prepare flood risk maps for a 20 km reach of the Bow River from the Banff National Park boundary, through the Town of Canmore,to downstream of Dead Man Flat. This study is concerned with only surface flooding caused by open-water floods. Potential flooding because of groundwater was not investigated. A review of historical flooding int he study area indicates that recent flood events, including the 1974 flood, have return periods lower than five years based on the hydrologic assessment by Alberta Environment, Hydrology Branch. The review also indicates that ice-related flooding has rarely occurred through the Town of Canmore.
