Hydrologic & Hydraulic Analysis
Hydrology – amount of water, minimum 2-,
10- and 100-year storms. (ultimate
development).
Hydraulics – how the water moves.
Compare existing to proposed conditions.
Methods used must be in the public domain
and verifiable.
COMAR 26.17.04
Construction on Nontidal Waters and Floodplains
H&H analysis required for changes to the
course, current or cross-section of waters of
the State (unless waived).
Waters of the State includes the 100-year
floodplain for all regulated streams.
Stream restorations – analysis needed for
proper design.
H&H Analysis used for:
Increased risk of flooding to others from
any analyzed storm (.10’).
Any area, not owned by the applicant,
subjected to flooding increases must be
purchased, placed in a designated flood
easement, or addressed by other means.
“other means” is typically affected property
owner sign off.
H&H Analysis used for:
Assure stability through sheer stress comparison
of the project reach and immediately U/S and D/S
(10%).
Withstand flood forces.
Changes to mapped FEMA floodplain.
How we can help:
Pre-application meetings.
Guidance on whether H&H will be
required.

How you can help:
Plan on providing H&H (money and time).
Provide all data: input, output, summary tables.
Provide an engineering narrative with
assumptions used and conclusions reached.
