A detailed hydraulic analysis of Idle Hour Wash for the purpose of preparing a Letter of Map Revision.
The objectives of this report are to document the on-site and off-site hydrologic and hydraulic assessment of the site and its characteristics, quantifying existing conditions peak discharges, and define the limits of 100-year on-site floodplains.
Phase IIA focuses on identifying alternatives for mitigating the hazards and problems, evaluating the alternatives for flood mitigation potential and cost effectiveness, and recommending a preferred alternative and flood control policy.
The Floodplain Management Act of 1973 authorized Arizona counties to adopt rules and regulations concerning management of floodplain areas. The Pima County Board of Supervisors, which sits as the Pima County Flood Control District Board of Directors, organized the Pima County Flood Control District on June 5, 1978. The District is responsible for floodplain management activities for unincorporated areas in Pima County (with the exception of national forests, parks, monuments, and Indian Nations) and for the City of South Tucson.
This pamphlet describes CyberPort as multinational in its approach, considering the impacts of cross-border traffic at the local, state, and regional levels. The goal of CyberPort in Arizona is to increase the capacity of Nogales, San Luis and Douglas to serve as safe, secure and efficient gateways between the United States and Mexico. Nogales, as Arizona’s primary commercial port-of-entry, is naturally positioned to serve as the port of choice for western U.S.-Mexico trade.
The Nogales CyberPort Project began in the Spring of 2002 amid dramatic changes to the safety and security of U.S. borders. Throughout the following year, extraordinary change was experienced in policy and practice regarding the treatment of the border at the local, state and federal levels. While the movement toward a more efficient and effective border crossing environment has been underway in Arizona and the U.S. for a number of years, there is perhaps a no more appropriate time to undertake the effort to define and implement a CyberPort than right now.

The purpose of the Flood Response Plan is to reduce the potential for property damage and loss of life resulting from floods on the Beaver Dam Wash at the community of Beaver Dam. This report is intentionally short and concise to make it easily usable during a flood emergency.
The Flecha Caida study area encompasses approximately eight square miles of the foothill region of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The three major washes studied include Finger Rock Wash, Valley View Wash, and Flecha Caida Wash. One tributary (Sky Club Wash) to the Valley View Wash and three tributaries to the Finger Rock Wash were also included in this study.
This report is the first phase of a study to provide a basin management plan for the Tucson Mountain Drainage Basin. Phase II will identify and evaluate alternative specific solutions to flood plain management measures with Phase III accomplishing conceptual designs for the selected alternatives.
