The overall goal of this project is the development and application of methodologies for the identification of flood hazard zones along potential rail access corridors through Nevada to the Yucca Mountain Site and to provide information that will assist the railroad drainage structure design engineers. An initial objective objective of this project was the development of an annotated bibliography that defines the state-of-the-art in the identification of flood hazard zones and the design of flood protection facilities in the arid and semi-arid environment. The types of documents reviewed in the preparation of this bibliography included standard hydrologic and hydraulic engineering design manuals, engineering reports, and the peer-reviewed literature. Given the current interest in this general subject area by the US Department of Energy, the US Department of Transportation, state and local government, and the private sector this bibliography should be viewed as a dynamic document to which additional references will be added as they are identified and reviewed. Although the list of reference included in this bibliography is extensive, from the viewpoint of providing specific guidance for the identification of flood hazard zones and the design of drainage protection for a potential rail line across an alluvial fan there is very little information. Numerous publications of the Federal Highway Administration and the transportation departments of the southwestern states were reviewed. Alluvial fan crossings receive only minimal attention in these publications. 171 refs.
