This book documents an investigation into the flood hazard problem in Death Valley National Monument and provides a range of mitigation alternatives for seven areas where people and property are concentrated within flood hazard zones. Of the seven areas with flood hazard, this book provides the most detailed analysis of the hazard at Scotty's Castle, an important historic resource visited by hundreds of thousands of monument visitors each year. The book provides a detailed background on the flood hazard problem at Death Valley, including baseline flood studies, affected environment, and environmental consequences. It then outlines seven alternatives for mitigating the flood hazard at Scotty's Castle, including a preferred alternative that considers both the need to provide an adequate level of flood protection for structures and public safety while still maintaining the historic scene. The book presents a thorough analysis of the impacts of the flood mitigation measures on soils, scenic quality, natural and beneficial values of floodplains, endangered, threatened or endemic species, historic resources, public safety, and public property. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and well-documented analysis of the flood hazard problem at Scotty's Castle and offers a range of mitigation alternatives that balance the need for flood protection with the preservation of the historic scene.
