Thank you for the opportunity to discuss our development of the Boise River Management Tool
("BRMT") with the Eagle City Council during its August 27th meeting. Council members
seemed genuinely interested in this project and asked excellent questions.
As I mentioned to the Council, Flood Control District No. 10 is working collaboratively with the
University of Idaho, Center for Ecohydraulics Research and several federal, state and local
agencies to develop a LiDAR-based, two-dimensional model that will be used for flood
management and other river management decisions, projects and planning. For your records,
enclosed are the list of project supporters and funding sources, the project budget, and the project
description we distributed at the Council meeting.
With a budget of $527,000 to complete the BRMT for the entire Boise River below Diversion
Dam, and financial commitments to date of $372,500, our fundraising efforts continue. To this
end, I asked the Council to consider a financial contribution, given the high value of the BRMT
for Boise River management, infrastructure protection and planning, as well as land use planning
within the City's boundaries.
I suggested $25,000 because this is the amount of the current commitments by the Eagle Sewer
District and the City of Boise. The City of Boise is considering a larger financial contribution,
and we would certainly appreciate a larger contribution from the City of Eagle to help us fully
fund the project.
If you have questions or need further information, please contact me at (208) 861-2766 or
projectmgr@boiseriver.org.
Thank you for your consideration of the BRMT. Your support for Boise River flood
management is greatly needed and appreciated.

Boise River 2-D Management Tool: Project Description
Boise River Management Challenges
The Boise River is the centerpiece of Idaho's capital city and lifeblood for agriculture, industrial,
municipal, and recreational activities in the Treasure Valley. The river provides irreplaceable natural,
social and economic values that are the foundation for the way of life in the Treasure Valley.
Historically, major river management challenges have resulted from competing demands for water,
periodic droughts and flood events, degraded water quality, and urban development within the
floodplain and encroachment within the river corridor. Rapid population growth accentuates these
challenges. Natural and manmade changes to the Boise River channel, river flow rates, and water
quality have physical, biological, and chemical impacts, both upstream and downstream. These impacts
have significant implications for river and land use management and planning. Implementing best
management practices to comply with regulatory standards and meet community expectations for river
and land use management require extensive commitments of time and financial resources.
Time for an Upgraded River Management Tool
Sustainable, cost-efficient management of the Boise
River and land use development within the Boise
River corridor and floodplain requires the use of
modern data gathering techniques and scientific
analysis to inform collaborative decision making and
planning among local communities, governmental
agencies and stakeholders.
Historically, FEMA's one dimensional (1-D) flood
models that were primarily created to establish flood
insurance rates have provided the basis for planning,
zoning, and engineering river design of streambank
protection. However, these models are limited in the
information they provide between measured cross
sections, which span distances of a'A mile or more.
Data gathering and modeling to date have not
produced a clear, continuous model of the
morphology of the Boise River channel and riparian
corridor. Substantial damages and changes wrought
by 2017 high water and flooding highlight the need
for a more comprehensive understanding and
predictive capability of the impact of changing river
flows on the river channel, corridor and floodplain.
1-D vs. 2-D Hydraulic Modeling
Models can be used to describe the water
movement in three dimensions:
upstream to downstream ("1-D" Model);
side -to -side - bank -to -bank and out of
bank ("2-D" Model);
Up and down — between water surface
& riverbed ("3-D" Model).
Computer models based on the assumption
that river flows only upstream to
downstream are "one-dimensional models."
Two-dimensional (2-D) models give us a new
tool to better understand river flows that
move in more than one direction. Until
recently, 2=D models required enormous
computing power and time to deliver results.
Advances in computer technology have
made 2-D modeling a fast, inexpensive, and
invaluable management tool.
BRMT: Project Description Page 1 of 5
2-D Model Development
Boise River Flood Control District #10 (FCD 10) and the University of Idaho's Center for Ecohydraulics
Research, are leading the development of a 2-D hydraulic model to be used in flood prevention,
response and recovery, land use planning, stream channel alteration evaluation, and protection and
improvement of the various beneficial uses of the river. Model development involves the following
steps.
Step 1— Boise River Model Area and Budget. The first step in developing the 2-D model is to identify
the Boise River Model area. Three Boise River segments, shown below, have been designated as "Areas
of Interest" ("AO1"): "AO1-1- FCD 10," from Garden City (Veterans Parkway, river mile 50) to Caldwell
(Confluence with Indian Creek, river mile 20); "AO1-2 - Boise," from Diversion Dam to Veterans Parkway,
and "AO1-3 — Lower Boise," from the Indian Creek confluence to the Snake River. AOI-1 was chosen as
the first segment to be modeled because it encompasses multiple areas of flood management concern
within FCD 10 boundaries, and can be modeled within the initial proposed project budget of $295,000.
Significant interest has been expressed in expanding the model to encompass the Boise River upstream
and downstream from AO1-1, with the ultimate objective of modeling the river from Diversion Dam to
the confluence with the Snake River. The model area will be expanded if sufficient funding is obtained
to extend the LiDAR flight, gather additional calibration data, and expand the geographic scope of the
2-D model. The budget to model AOI-1 and AO1-2 is approximately $381,000. The budget to model
AO1-1 and AO1-3 is approximately $440,000. The budget to model all three segments is approximately
$527,000. Additional budget detail is provided in Attachment 4 — Project Cost Estimate/Budget.
Step 2 — LiDAR Survey (Fall/Winter 2019). Recent advancements in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)
technology and two dimensional (2-D) modeling provide a more accurate and in-depth understanding of
the morphology of the Boise River channel and riparian corridor, hydrology, plus water quality impacts
and interactions. A bathymetric LiDAR device onboard a fixed -wing aircraft transmits and receives laser
light pulses of up to one million per second, a relative position Global Positioning System (GPS)
BRMT: Project Description Page 2 of 5
measures aircraft position, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) measures aircraft attitude. The
LiDAR will be collected at 8 points per square meter to ensure a Quality Level 1 (QL1) final product.
Overlapping flight lines will be flown in opposing directions to maximize detection of swath -to -swath
inconsistencies and to minimize any off -NADIR shadowing from vegetation or terrain. The topo-
bathymetric LiDAR collection will be obtained during the optimal conditions for success, which include
no fog/rain, low wind or other conditions affecting water clarity.
Data deliverables include a classified point cloud, hydro flattened water surface, and bare earth
elevation model.
Step 3 — Assemble Calibration Data (Fall/Winter 2019). Existing flow measurements, aerial
photographs, gravel grain sizes, and other data relevant to the proposed uses of the 2-D model will be
collected from cooperating agencies who support this project. See Attachment 7 — List of Project
Supporters, Collaborators & Funding Sources/Pledges, and Attachment 8 — Project Support Letters.
Step 4 — Build the 2-D Model (Winter/Spring 2020). The 2-D hydraulic model will be constructed using
the LiDAR and calibration data by a qualified consultant under the direction of Dr. Andy Tranmer at the
U of I Center for Ecohydraulics Research. The model is expected to be completed and ready for river
management use by the summer of 2020. Model development work detail is provided in Attachment 5
— Project Work Detail.
2-D Model Outreach
Once completed, information regarding the development and potential uses of the 2-D model will be
shared with cooperating agencies, Boise River stakeholders, and other interested parties.
2-D Model River Management Uses
The hydraulic 2-D model can be used to better understand and predict the impacts of changing river
hydrodynamics on the river channel and floodplain. These results will inform the FCD 10 decision
making processes and help prioritize flood management decisions (flood prevention, response, and
recovery). The 2-D hydraulic model provides the physical foundation for understanding many other
processes and informing management decisions in and along the river. The model can route sediment,
nutrients, and biological data through the river network to identify and predict water quality impacts
and interactions at different locations. The 2-D model can also accurately predict aquatic habitat for fish
species in the channel and identify processes in the floodplain that support native riparian vegetation
like cottonwood trees and willows. Additionally, the 2-D model can be used to model water
temperature and hydraulic mixing to evaluate solutions for water renewal facilities and tributary drains.
The following list is indicative of the potential uses, cooperators and beneficiaries of this new Boise River
Management Tool.

3. Leverage existing investments in river research and data acquisition for smaller communities, which
may be the ones in most need of cost-effective planning alternatives.
4. Provide a publically available, objective model to support sustainable planning decisions.
5. Provide emergency managers with the ability to model real-time threats during flood events.
6. Reduce future hazard -based vulnerabilities for both developed and developing communities.
7. Illustrate successful approaches to development that incorporate science -based planning.
8. Provide economic alternatives that satisfy societal/ecological/natural hazard constraints.
Measuring Success
Project success for flood management purposes will be measured by the extent to which FCD 10 and
other agencies use the model to prepare for, respond to, and recover from future flood events. A list of
the FCD 10 uses of this model will be maintained to demonstrate the tool's ongoing usefulness. Success
can also be measured by the number of river management projects and studies completed using the
model or model data. Flood Control District 10 can request that parties using the model provide a brief
explanation of their intended use and feedback for model improvement. Model use information will
allow the District to identify the most common model applications and ways the model may be
improved to provide greater benefit.
