Anza Park, established in August of 2007, is located within Avra Valley adjacent to and west of the Town of Marana boundary. The park consists of approximately 280 acres located along both sides of the Santa Cruz River. This area is a riparian oasis that supports a rich diversity of native plants, birds, and other wildlife, especially as compared to adjacent lands that are biologically depauperate due to decades of intensive agricultural use.
This report was prepared to document surface water hydrology and floodplain conditions in accordance with current standards of practice. This information is intended to support issuance of building permits, re-approval of construction drawings to current standards, and issuance of floodplain use permits, if needed.
Originally, the purpose of the study was to obtain either a Letter of Map Revision or a Physical Map Revision from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Historically, Pima County has recorded several residential concerns, detailing this area as a reach of wash with severe flooding problems. The purpose of this report is to present the engineering analyses of four alternative remedial flood-control measures.
This study documents the as-built condition and provides hydraulic support for a Letter of Map Revision application for the Camino Real Wash.
The primary need for these realignments is due to the planned airport expansion at Tucson International Airport. The purpose of this report is to compare various alignment alternatives for the realignment on the basis of access, cost, right-of-way, and floodplain impacts.
