1 Colorado Ice Jams and CRREL s Ice Jam Database CRREL Ice Engineering Group Presented by, Carrie Vuyovich, Ph.D., P.E. Research Hydraulic Engineer ERDC Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover NH May 2017

2 CRREL Ice Jam Database History Background Data Sources & Development Colorado Ice Jams Records for CO in IJDB General overview Some statistics Overview

3 Ice Jam Database Overview Developed at CRREL in 1992 Provide timely ice jam information to USACE Goal to coordinate response to and assist in long-term planning for ice jam flooding Over 22,600 ice jams Data publically available through Web

4 Data Sources for Ice Jam Database National Weather Service (NWS) products (review roughly 2,500 products per hour) Real-time river water surface elevation, USGS & USACE Online news sources First hand observers (locals & emergency managers)

5 Review ~2500 NWS products/hour Building the IJDB Filter ~10,000 reports/year with ice Local responders Corps EMs Select ~1,000 reports/year with river ice News reports CRREL Automated Processing Enter into IJDB after manual review Average number of jams per year: Max number of jams: 611 in 2004 Min number of jams: 58 in 2016

6 How to Report an Ice Jam Observation Safety First! Refer to Ice Observer Training

7 How to Make an Ice Jam Observation IJDB website upgrades Plan to add the Ice Report as a online fillable form Until then, contact and to: Joseph Rocks Research Hydraulic Engineer ERDC/CRREL (603) joseph.s.rocks@usace.army.mil

11 IJDB: Tool for Project Planning Currently over 22,600 ice jams recorded in IJDB.

12 IJDB: Tool for Project Planning Planning and O&M The number of ice jams varies significantly from year to year. Need to continue collecting data on these trends to facilitate future project planning and O&M.

13 Tech Transfer Weekly River Ice Updates Every Wednesday, Nov to Jun Released prior to UOC briefing at 0830 EST Corps HQ, UOC, District & Division EM s Outreach and technical assistance New Hampshire, Colorado, Ohio, New York

14 Improving the IJDB Working with NWS to improve ice jam nomenclature in reports Cooperation with States Montana Silver Jackets. Researched and updated entries of historic jams to reduce temporal and spatial gaps in data record Additional Silver Jackets outreach and technical assistance projects in CO, NH, OH, and NY. Oracle, web site development

15 Support to Emergency Management CRREL can provide technical assistance through a request made to applicable USACE District. Typically when an ice jam has occurred, but can also happen before. Advance Measures vs Emergency Measures

16 IJDB: Tool for Emergency Management Gale River, Sugar Hill NH Dec 2009 Midwinter breakup on Gale River, ¼ mile long breakup jam Town of Sugar Hill requested USACE NAE technical assistance CRREL reviewed IJDB, 5 historic ice jams since 1972 CRREL staff met local officials onsite, discussed possible mitigation techniques

17 IJDB: Tool for Emergency Management Kennebec River, near Augusta ME Jan 2010 Midwinter breakup on Kennebec River Flooding of businesses in Hallowell, ME Locals requested USACE NAE technical assistance Coast Guard icebreakers tried to loosen downstream CRREL reviewed IJDB, 35 historic ice jams since 1795 CRREL assisted in installing a motion detector to monitor jam

18 IJDB: Tool for Emergency Management Gunnison River, Gunnison, CO Feb 2016 CO DHS requested USACE SPK technical assistance under PL CRREL reviewed IJDB, 9 historic ice jams since 1968 CRREL met with representatives from SPK, local and state officials at Gunnison, CO. Discussed immediate mitigation techniques and opportunities for longer term study.
