  • Schuyler, Nebraska Platte River and Shell Creek –
    Schuyler, Nebraska Platte River and Shell Creek – Section 205 Flood Risk Management Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment with Finding of No Significant Impact SEPTEMBER 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project area is located along a reach of the Platte River near Schuyler, Nebraska, which is the county seat for Colfax County. The Platte River is located approximately 1.5 miles south of the city. Lost Creek, a minor tributary of the Platte River, runs along the southern edge of the community. Another tributary to the Platte River, Shell Creek, lies to the north and east of Schuyler. Most of the land surrounding Schuyler is used for agricultural purposes. Schuyler is subject to flooding from the Platte River / Lost Creek and Shell Creek. A major Shell Creek flood did extensive damage to property in northeastern Schuyler in May 2008 and a smaller flood did significant damage again in 2010, just as residents were completing repairs from the earlier flood. Southern Schuyler was also impacted by flooding from Lost Creek, a tributary to the Platte River during the 2010 Shell Creek flood. The current FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for Schuyler notes that portions of the city are within the 100-year (1% annual chance of exceedance) floodplains of both Shell Creek and the Platte River. A draft flood insurance rate map developed by the Corps for FEMA now indicates that the Platte River 100-year floodplain will extend well into heavily developed areas of Schuyler – areas which had not previously been designated as lying within the 100-year floodplain. The new area includes the downtown section.
