The USGS produced 5 flood inundation maps to guide remediation of floodplain sediment and vegetation following a large crude oil spill that affected the Kalamazoo River. Flood inundation surfaces corresponding to a flood event that occurred on July 25, 2010 and flow exceedance probability events of 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, and 0.01 at the USGS stream gage at Marshall (04103500). A one-dimensional step-backwater model (HEC-RAS) was calibrated to conditions observed during a 415 cfs discharge event. The calibrated model was then used to generate various water-surface profiles that correspond to the different flow exceedance events. The water surface profiles were combined with high-definition digital topographic data to produce an estimated flood extent for each profile. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide flood inundation maps for the Kalamazoo River from the USGS Streamgage 04103500, Kalamazoo River at Marshall, MI to Streamgage 04105500, Kalamazoo River near Battle Creek, MI. The flood inundation maps were created for the following exceedance probability events: 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, and 0.01, and also for streamflow corresponding to a stage of 7.44 feet at the Kalamazoo River at Marshall, MI streamgage. These maps will be used to guide remediation of floodplain sediment and vegetation, and will help identify potential redeposition areas in the event that clean-up activities are not completed before another high-flow event occurs.

Use_Constraints: The flood boundaries shown were estimated based on water stages/flows at USGS streamflow gaging station 04103500, Kalamazoo River at Marshall, MI. Water-surface elevations along the reach of the Kalamazoo River extending from Marshall to Battle Creek (approximately 15 miles downstream from the streamflow gaging station) were estimated by steady-state hydraulic modeling, assuming unobstructed flow, and using discharges and hydrologic conditions anticipated at that gaging station. The hydraulic model reflects the land-cover characteristics and any bridge, dam, levee, or other hydraulic structures existing in August, 2010. Unique meteorological factors (timing and distribution of storm) may cause actual discharges along the modeled reach to vary from assumed during a flood and lead to deviations in the water surface elevations and inundation boundaries shown here. Additional areas may be flooded due to unanticipated backwater from major tributaries along the main stem or from localized debris- or ice-jams. The flood inundation boundaries depicted on this map are based on a digital elevation model (Meta data available). Inundated areas shown should not be used for navigation, regulatory, permitting, or other legal purposes. Although USGS intends to make this server available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, timely delivery of data and products from this server through the Internet is not guaranteed. The USGS provides these maps as a quick reference, emergency planning tool but assumes no legal liability or responsibility for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages or lost profit resulting from the use or misuse of this information. If this series of flood inundation maps will be used in conjunction with National Weather Service (NWS) river forecasts, the user should be aware of additional uncertainties which may be inherent or factored into NWS forecast procedures. The NWS uses river forecast models to estimate the quantity and timing of water flowing through selected river reaches in the United States. These forecast models (1) estimate the amount of runoff generated by a precipitation event, (2) compute how the water will move downstream, and (3) predict the flow and stage (water surface elevation) for the river at a given location (AHPS forecast point) throughout the forecast period (every six hours and 3 to 5 days out in many locations).
