      <abstract>The domain of the model is as follows: Row River from Dorena dam to the confluence with the Coast Fork; 
Coast Fork from Cottage Grove dam to the confluence with the Middle Fork; Silk Creek from River Mile 
1.7 to the confluence with the Coast Fork. The basis for these features is the Willamette Flood Insurance 
Study – Phase One (2013). The hydraulics and hydrology for the FIS were reused in the production of 
these polygons; the reports and information associated with the FIS are applicable to this product. The 
Digital Elevation Model (DEM) utilized for the Willamette FIS submittal was produced by combining 
multiple overlapping topographic surveys for the Middle Fork and Coast Fork of the Willamette River. 
This DEM was created from four sources: LiDAR of the Springfield area that was flown in 2008, LiDAR 
of Silk Creek that was flown in 2011, LiDAR of Fall Creek that was flown in 2012, and photogrammetry 
of the Middle Fork and Coast Fork of the Willamette River that was flown in 2004. In areas where no 
high-resolution elevation data were available, USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) data were used 
to supplement the DEM. The shapefiles Hi_Res_Extents.shp and Low_Res_Extents.shp define the 
limits of these areas. The horizontal datum of the DEM is NAD 1983 State Plane-Oregon South HARN 
with units of International Feet (NAD83). The vertical datum of the elevation model is NAVD 1988 with 
units of international feet (NAVD-88). In addition, some areas show surveyed bathymetry within the 
channel. These can be noted by the sharp increase in apparent depth, creating a stripe across the 
depth grid when compared to the LiDAR data, which represents the water surface elevation at the 
time of the aerial data collection. Bridge decks are generally removed from DEMs as standard practice. 
Therefore, these features may be shown as inundated when they are not. An effort to clip flood extents 
on bridge decks was made, but judgement should be used when estimating the usefulness of a bridge 
during flood flow. Comparing the bridge to the surrounding ground can be more informative in this respect 
than simply looking at the bridge itself. The features and depth grids stop as the Coast Fork approaches 
the Middle Fork on the northern end of the reach. See cfwgoshOR.shp for information regarding this file. 
This represents the depth grid for the 46,800 cfs profile.</abstract>
      <purpose>This raster represents flood inundation depth for a flow of 46,800 cfs at the gage Coast Fork Willamette 
River at Goshen, OR (14157500). This raster has been clipped from the coast_7 raster to the Goshen 
study area along the Coastal Fork Willamette River from Creswell, Oregon to Goshen, Oregon. The 
coast_7 raster is from a currently unpublished FEMA flood insurance study conducted by The US 
Army Corps of Engineers, Portland, OR.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Area of uncertainty, discussed on page 6 of the report (sir2016-5029), is containted in a separate raster 
named cfwgoshor_7b. A GIS application was used to produce a plane representing the flood-peak water 
surface. The application duplicates the [high-water-mark elevation data points, and/or water-surface-elevation 
data from cross-section points] across the flood plain perpendicular to the direction of the flood flow.  
Elevations between [high-water marks, or water-surface points on the cross-sections] are proportional 
interpolations of the water-surface-elevation data and were positioned to generate a flood surface sloping 
with the water flow. A raster surface was created with the data points using a spline interpolation method, 
forming the estimated flood surface. A flood-depth grid was made by subtracting the DEM from the flood 
surface. The flood-peak inundation areas are available in a GIS format, polyline shapefile, that provides 
extent of the flood peak for each stage level. This format allows the GIS data to be overlain on maps and 
aerial photographs, and to be used for various GIS applications, such as FEMA's Hazards U.S. Multi-
Hazards (HAZUS-MH) program (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2010b) to estimate flood 
damages.  For more information on data processing and checking procedures, see the full report at 
https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2016/5029. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes 
only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data 
Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the dataset in nonproprietary form, as well
as in ArcGIS format, this metadata file may include some ArcGIS-specific terminology.</supplinf>

    <useconst>The estimated inundated areas are based on flows at the Goshen gage (USGS 14157500), using the Willamette FIS Hydrology Report (phase one). The hydrology of a specific storm will likely be different than presented.  This feature should never be separated from the feature classes Hi_Res_Extents and Low_Res_Extents, which delineate the areas of 1m LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and NED data.  The area downstream of the confluence with the Middle Fork (forming the mainstem Willamette River) is shown in the Middle feature class.  Flooding that is not due to the Coast Fork, Row or Silk Creek within the reaches shown above is not reflected in this feature class.
		
		Uncertainties and Limitations for Use of Flood-Inundation Maps: Although the flood-inundation maps represent the boundaries of inundated areas with a distinct line, some uncertainty is associated with these maps.  The flood boundaries shown were estimated based on water stages and streamflows at the USGS streamflow-gaging station 14157500, Coastal Fork Willamette River Near Goshen, OR. Water-surface elevations along the stream reaches were estimated by steady-state hydraulic modeling, assuming unobstructed flow, and using streamflows and hydrologic conditions anticipated at the USGS streamgage.  The hydraulic model reflects the land-cover characteristics and any bridge, dam, levee, or other hydraulic structures existing as of 2011.  Unique meteorological factors (timing and distribution of precipitation) may cause actual streamflows along the modeled reach to vary from those assumed during a flood, which may lead to deviations in the water-surface elevations and inundation boundaries shown.  Additional areas may be flooded due to unanticipated conditions such as: changes in the streambed elevation or roughness, backwater into major tributaries along a main stem river, or backwater from localized debris or ice jams. The accuracy of the floodwater extent portrayed on these maps will vary with the accuracy of the digital elevation model used to simulate the land surface.  Additional uncertainties and limitations pertinent to this study may be described elsewhere in this report. 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 that may be inherent or factored into NWS forecast procedures.  The NWS uses forecast models to estimate the quantity and timing of water flowing through selected stream reaches in the United States.  These forecast models (1) estimate the amount of runoff generated by precipitation and snowmelt, (2) simulate the movement of floodwater as it proceeds downstream, and (3) predict the flow and stage (water-surface elevation) for the stream at a given location (AHPS forecast point) throughout the forecast period (every 6 hours and 3 to 5 days out in many locations).
