Park County Hazard Mitigation Plan Final Draft
PARK COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN FINAL DRAFT PREPARED FOR Park County City of Livingston Tow n o f C l yd e Pa r k AUGUST 2018 respec.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Disasters can strike at any time in any place. In many cases, actions can be taken before disasters strike to reduce or eliminate the negative impacts. These actions, termed mitigation, often protect life, property, the economy, or other values. The Park County Hazard Mitigation Plan addresses sixteen major hazards with respect to risk and vulnerabilities countywide, including in the City of Livingston and the Town of Clyde Park. Through a collaborative planning process, the Park County hazards were identified, researched, and profiled. The major hazards are each profiled in terms of their description, history, probability and magnitude, vulnerabilities, and data limitations. The vulnerabilities to critical facilities, critical infrastructure, existing structures, the population, values, and future development are evaluated for each hazard. Based on the probability and extent of potential impacts identified in the risk assessment, the prioritizations of hazards within Park County are outlined in Table ES-6-1 through Table ES-6-3. Table ES-6-1. Park County Hazard Prioritizations Level Hazard High Hazard Flooding Wildfire Earthquake Hazardous Materials Release Wind Winter Storms and Extended Cold Moderate Hazard Severe Thunderstorms and Tornadoes Communicable Disease and Bioterrorism Avalanche and Landslide Drought Low Hazard Utility Outage Volcano Terrorism, Civil Unrest, and Violence Aviation Accident Railroad Accident ES-1 Table ES-6-2.

Water-Data Report 2007 06038000 HEBGEN LAKE NEAR WEST YELLOWSTONE, MT Missouri Headwaters Basin Madison Subbasin LOCATION.--Lat 44°51′51″, long 111°20′09″ referenced to North American Datum of 1927, in SW ¼ NW ¼ sec.23, T.11 S., R.3 E., Gallatin County, MT, Hydrologic Unit 10020007, at Hebgen Dam on Madison River, 18 mi northwest of West Yellowstone, and at river mile 103. SURFACE-WATER RECORDS PERIOD OF RECORD.--January 1936 to current year. Records prior to October 1939, published only in Water Supply Paper (WSP) 1309. Figures of contents published in WSP 1629, 1709, and 1729 have been found to be in error and should not be used. Prior to Oct. 1, 1949, published as Hebgen Reservoir near West Yellowstone. Records of daily elevations are in files of the USGS Water Science Center located in Helena, Montana. REVISED RECORDS.--WSP 1916: 1959-60. COOPERATION.--Records furnished by PPL EnergyPlus, LLC. REMARKS.--Elevation of gage is at sea level (levels by The Montana Power Co.). Prior to earthquake of Aug. 17, 1959, elevation of gage was 9.74 ft higher, also at sea level. Reservoir is formed by earthfill dam with concrete core and spillway completed in 1915, repaired in 1960 following severe earthquake of Aug. 17, 1959, that lowered dam 9.74 ft and deformed reservoir area. Elevations are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Subsequent usable capacity is 377,500 acre-ft, between elevation 6,473.00 ft, bottom of outlet tower, and 6,534.87 ft, spillway crest. Dead storage is 7,340 acre-ft below elevation 6,473.00 ft. -

Strain accumu- oping a more rigorous method for delineating expected Modified lation in this tectonically complex region results from the mid- Mercalli Intensity (MMI) values for two communities in south- continent, Basin and Range, and Yellowstone-hotspot stress re- western Montana. Characteristic earthquakes were selected for gimes (e.g., Stickney and Bartholomew, 1987; Doser, 1989). His- the three overlapping stress fields affecting southwestern Mon- torically, earthquakes in the Rocky Mountains have occurred in tana (mid-continent, Basin and Range and Yellowstone stress sparsely populated regions (Hebgen Lake, MT, Borah Peak, ID, fields).
