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.
