2 Lyon County Presentation Rob Loveberg gave a presentation on the demographics, government, geography, and economy of Lyon County. The county has approximately 2,013 square miles. The county has a population of approximately 53,825. The largest two cities are Fernley, with a population of 18,929, and Yerington, with a population of 3,100. Seventy-five percent of the county is public lands. Most of the population lives north of the Carson River. The county is governed by the Board of Commissioners and the County Manager. The county employs 350, and the median income of county residents is approximately $48,000. Lyon County is the third most economically stressed county in the United States with a population of at least 25,000. In December, the unemployment rate was 18.7%, but it was recently reported that it has increased to 19.2%. The county has seven improved airports, the Union Pacific Railroad, and Interstate 80, highways 50, 50A, 95 A, 208, and 341. Earthquake Hazards in Lyon County Jon Price reported that earthquake faults occur throughout Nevada. The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology recently released the map Quaternary Faults in Nevada (NBMG Open-File Report 09-9, available at www.nbmg.unr.edu). The on-line version of the map is searchable, which allows for searching all known large and potentially active faults in the area of a specific address. The map is to be used for approximate fault locations and should not be used as a definitive location of faults. If planning to build in one of the zones shown on the map, it is wise to hire a geological consultant to precisely locate faults and determine their frequency of movement. By using the information icon, and clicking on a specific fault, the known information on the fault appears. There are also layers that show the aerial photography and topography. Due to extension, Nevada is acquiring approximately 1.3 acres of land each year. Salt Lake City and Reno are moving apart about a centimeter a year. Jon distributed Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology s Open-File Report 09-8, Estimated Losses from Earthquakes near Nevada Communities, available at www.nbmg.unr.edu/dox/of098/scenarios/openfilereport09-8.pdf. The report contains HAZUS runs for 38 communities in Nevada, essentially all towns with a population of at least 500. The report contains runs for magnitudes 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, and 7 earthquakes. The runs were compiled using a fault on the Quaternary fault map that is closest to the center of the community. The fault depth is run at 10 km (the average depth of earthquakes in the Great Basin). Jon reported that he was not able to find evidence of a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake occurring in Lyon County in the historical record (the last 150 years), but there have been several large earthquakes in adjacent areas that were felt in Lyon County. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the probability of a magnitude 6.0 earthquake within the next 50 years occurring near (within 31 miles or 50 kilometers) Yerington is approximately 60%. The probability of an earthquake near Dayton is between 70-75%. The total economic loss to Yerington for a magnitude 6 earthquake is estimated at $56 million. If the earthquake occurred near Dayton, the estimated loss is $340 million.
3 HAZUS is an excellent tool that city managers, emergency managers, and planners should use in hazard mitigation, planning, and emergency response and recovery exercises. The consequences of earthquakes can be huge in Nevada, particularly if individuals are not prepared. The best thing that can be done to prevent building damage and loss of life or injury is to be prepared to respond; mitigate structural risks, largely through having current building codes; and mitigate nonstructural risks. Jon s PowerPoint presentation on Earthquake Hazards in Lyon County is available online at www.nbmg.unr.edu/geohazards/earthquakes/earthquakeresources.html#presentations. Flood Hazard in Lyon County Rob Loveberg reported that Lyon County has regular flooding problems. They have recorded history of floods occurring in 1876, 1906, and 1907. The Carson River and Walker River are the main sources of flooding. Although they do not have the Truckee River in Lyon County, the Truckee River Canal does pose a flooding hazard. The Nevada State Hazard Mitigation Plan ranks the Walker River as the 3 rd most vulnerable river for flooding, with approximately $83 million in potential losses, and the Carson River at 4 th, with approximately $70 million in potential losses. Alluvial-fan flooding is almost an annual event. They also experience potential flooding from debris flows, breaks and failures from irrigation ditches and canals, and dam failures from upstream structures in Mono County and Carson City. The flood maps for the communities show that all the communities in the county have the potential for flooding from rivers, canals, or irrigation ditches. Development encroaching into the floodplains has caused increased flood hazards because of the reduction of the floodplain area. Substantial floods occurred on the Carson River in 1986, 1997, and 2006. Flooding on the Walker River in 1997 destroyed a residence in Smith Valley, washed out State Route 208 in Wilson Canyon, and flooded a significant portion of Yerington. The Fernley Flood of 2008 was caused by a canal breach. Five-hundred eighty-two homes were affected, 121 homes sustained minor to moderate damage, four homes sustained substantial damage, and 457 homes had no apparent damage. The flood was declared a Presidential Disaster. Current flood-mitigation efforts in the county include: Preparation of a County Hazard Mitigation Plan Floodplain Management Lyon County Comprehensive Master Plan o Land use designations o Incentives Carson River Regional Floodplain Management Plan Carson Water Subconservancy District Physical Map Revision Project Ramsey Canyon Water Flood Control Study
4 2011 Unified Hazard Mitigation Grant Cycle Information Elizabeth Ashby reported on FEMA s Unified Hazard Mitigation Assistance (UHMA) Program. Two programs available to Nevada communities are: I. HMGP Post Disaster Mitigation; available after a presidentially declared disaster. II. PDMC Pre-disaster Mitigation; nationally competitive grants for pre-disaster projects and planning activities. PDMC project grants require a Benefit-Cost Analysis and documentation that will support the application. Documentation is critical to a successful proposal. Elizabeth distributed a leaflet on the Unified Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program in Nevada (see attached; deadlines are included in the flier). The next deadline is June 16, 2011 when the letter of intent to submit applications is due. Any community that does not have a FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan by November, 2011, and submits a project application in the 2011 application period, will have the project application held until the Plan is approved. Review of the National Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Application Process Jon Price, Kim Davis, and John Pickett attended the National Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Review Panel in January 2011. Jon distributed a list of criteria, which he compiled from his experience while serving on the Panel. Jon recommended that the NHMPC review future Nevada proposals based on the National Review Panel s process. Kim Davis mentioned that she and Elizabeth Ashby are working on developing a training program for future applicants. It was recommended that others who participated in the national review process attend one of the training classes so they can relay their experiences to applicants. Communicating Dam Safety Issues and Concerns Michael Anderson gave an overview on the Dam Safety Program. He stated that if someone uses water for any purpose other than in their home, a permit is required, regardless of its source. This requirement includes capturing water from rainfall. The Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers are exempt from having to obtain permits. If the project is for a local operator or owner, permits are required before the project is turned over to the local operator. The Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers are required to provide copies of their plans for future review by the Dam Safety Program. Laws pertaining to dams were enacted in 1951. At that time, anything 10 feet or more in height in embankment or impounding 10 or more acre-feet of water storage, required a permit. Prior to 1951, there were no permit requirements, but water rights were required. There are now approximately 700 dams in the State s inventory. There are about 200-250 dams currently in the state that are not permitted, but they are monitored. Responsibilities of the Program include: Perform periodic safety inspections
5 Set safe storage levels Order appropriate restricted levels Review plans and specifications Perform periodic constructions inspections Assist dam owners in investigations with the problems with their structures Advise dam owners on prudent remedial actions (how to best fix problems) The threshold for gaining approval to plans and specifications was altered in 1993 because there were numerous small structures, especially in the urban environment, where they were dealing with runoff from subdivisions. The new specifications increase to 20 feet or greater in height, or any structure impounding more than 20 acre-feet of potentially mobile material. The State Engineer has the latitude to require a dam permit for a structure if it would be classified as highhazard even though it may not meet the above requirement. Some of the issues of dam safety in Nevada include: types of dams dam owners and financial needs urbanization emergency action plans transfer of federal projects to local sponsors ownership dam inspections security Dam types include: vast majority are homogeneous earthen structures zoned earth fill rock fill roller compacted concrete reverse curvature reinforced concrete double curvature thin-shell concrete (Wild Horse Dam) Of the 663 active dams in the state, 153 are mining-related; 67 of which are actual tailings facilities. Dams, like people, don t improve with age. Why do dams fail? inferior design or construction inferior materials inferior foundation/abutments uncontrolled seepage/leakage natural events floods, earthquakes, or landslides mechanical equipment failure deterioration/lack of maintenance improper operation of equipment or dam Dams have an average economic life of 50 years.
6 Dam hazard classifications, based on an evaluation of consequences of dam failure absent of flooding conditions: high loss of human life is expected in the event of failure significant significant damage is expected, but no loss of human life low no significant damage The benefits of a safe dam include: extended life of the structure avoid costly repairs full use of available storage prevent failure of the dam peace of mind Although not a requirement, the Nevada Division of Water Resources does regulate some dams on federal land. Truckee River Lawton Interceptor Flood Project Presentation Elizabeth Ashby reported that this project was selected as one of FEMA s showcase projects and will be presented at FEMA s hazard mitigation assistance summit in March. Glen Daily highlighted the project. The project was deemed necessary after the 1997 Truckee River flood. The flood shifted the river as much as 80 feet to the north in the Oxbow Park area. In the 2006 flood, additional land was lost. The goal of the project was to stabilize the river bank and protect infrastructure. The project was funded by FEMA s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and the Truckee River Fund. The project came in about $150,000 over budget and FEMA approved DEM s request for the transfer of funds from the state s management expenses category to cover the additional costs. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Silver Jackets Program Kim Davis reported that there was a meeting with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers on January 13, 2011. The Corps wants to establish a Silver Jackets Team in every state. The primary goals of the Silver Jackets program are to: Facilitate strategic life-cycle flood risk reduction; Create or supplement a continuous mechanism to collaboratively solve state-prioritized issues and implement or recommend those solutions; Improve processes, identifying gaps and counteractive programs; Leverage resources and information, learn about programs and how to combine efforts; Improve and increase flood risk communication and present a unified interagency message; and Establish close relationships to facilitate integrated post-disaster recovery solutions. Kim distributed handouts on FEMA s Risk Map, US Army Corps of Engineers Flood Plain Management Services Program, and the Silver Jackets Program. (See attached.) Kim s understanding is that the funding for the Silver Jackets Program will be used to fund the expenses for the core group to meet.
7 Update on the 2013 Version of the State Hazard Mitigation Plan and Submission to FEMA Jim Walker reported that the State Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by FEMA as an enhanced plan. The enhanced plan will allow for up to 20% in additional funding for mitigation efforts after a Presidential declaration of disaster (instead of the current 15%). The 2013 update will include climate change as a hazard to Nevada. Postponed to the April meeting. Current Vacancies on the NHMPC Board Report on the Status of Grants Karen distributed forms to be used for reporting hazard mitigation plans and reports that are not funded by FEMA.

Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) HMA under FEMA s Mitigation Directorate unifies the pre-disaster grant programs to better support the overall goal of reducing the loss of life and property due to natural hazards. The HMA programs: Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC), and Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) provide mitigation grants annually on an allocation and competitive basis to State, Territory, Tribal, and local entities. The new unified process achieves economies of scale and portfolio management for Federal, State, and local officials by aligning program requirements in a unified HMA guidance document. The intent of this alignment is to enhance the quality and efficiency of grant awards. In addition, under the unified process, eligible sub applications submitted but not funded under a specific grant program may also be considered for another mitigation grant program(s). Post-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) provides grants to States and local governments to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster declaration. Authorized under Section 404 of the Stafford Act and administered by FEMA, HMGP was created to reduce the loss of life and property due to natural disasters. The program enables mitigation measures to be implemented during the immediate recovery from a disaster. http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/hmgp/ Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program The PDM program provides funds to States, Territories, Federally recognized Indian Tribal governments, and communities for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. The goal of the PDM Program is to reduce overall risks to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations. www.fema.gov/government/grant/pdm/index.shtm Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program The FMA grant program provides funding to States, federally recognized Indian Tribal governments, and communities so that cost-effective measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to buildings, manufactured homes, and other structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).The long-term goal of FMA is to reduce or eliminate claims under the NFIP through mitigation activities. www.fema.gov/government/grant/fma/index.shtm Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) Program The RFC grant program was created with the goal of reducing flood damages to individual properties for which one or more claim payments for losses have been made under flood insurance coverage and that will result in the greatest savings to the NFIF (National Flood Insurance Fund) in the shortest period of time. The RFC program is subject to the availability of appropriation funding. RFC grants will be awarded on a national basis without reference to State allocations, quotas, or other formula-based allocations of funds. The funding source for the RFC grant program is the NFIF. www.fema.gov/government/grant/rfc/index.shtm Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) Program The SRL program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to severe repetitive residential structures insured under the NFIP. The definition of severe repetitive loss as applied to this program is a residential property that is covered under an NFIP flood insurance policy, and: (a) That has at least four NFIP claim payments (including building and contents) over $5,000 each, and the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeds $20,000; or (b) For which at least two separate claims payments (building payments only) have been made with the cumulative amount of the building portion of such claims exceeding the market value of the building. For both (a) and (b) above, at least two of the referenced claims must have occurred within any 1-year period, and must be greater than 10 days apart. The long-term goal of the SRL program is to reduce or eliminate claims under the NFIP through project activities that will result in the greatest savings to the NFIF in the shortest period of time. www.fema.gov/government/grant/srl/index.shtm
