A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Portland District. 1972. Special flood hazard information: Burnt Bridge Creek in the vicinity of Vancouver, Washington.

This report describes the overflow characteristics of Burnt Bridge Creek which passes through the northeast corner of Vancouver, Washington, and discharges into Vancouver Lake. Because considerable development in the vicinity of Burnt Bridge Creek is expected in the next 10 years, Clark County Commissioners have requested that this report be made to support local plans to guide future land use in the area. Authorization to prepare this report comes under the Corps of Engineers' program to provide flood-hazard information to local, State, and Federal agencies.

The information presented summarizes past floods in Burnt Bridge Creek and contains flooded-area maps and water-surface profiles indicating the extent of expected future flooding. Both past floods and future floods should be considered when planning for the best use of the flood plains.
