aquifer areas in the Des Moines Creek subbasins (determinedduringHSPF model calibration'), were included in the faun'econdition model forDes Moines Creek. Otherchangesforfutureconditionsmade inthehydrologicrouting'schemeincludedthe following: 1. SDW subbasin chang_ proposed in the west draining portion of the Third Rtmway project; 2. Additional flows from the North :EmployeeParking Lot (NEPL)and Cargo subbasins; 3, Overflows from theNorth Cargo and North Snow Melt Pump Stations;and 4, Elimination of SDN2,which drains to the IWS system. 2.6 PERIOD OF HYDROLOGIC RECORD Theanalysisoffurorehydrologicconditions(andcomparisontopre-developmentconditions) wasconductedusinganextendedhydrologicrecordrelativetotheperiodusedfortheHSPF modelcalibration.TheMillerCreekandWalkerCreekmodelwascalibratedusingahydrologic recordfromOctober1992throughAugust1996forreasonsdescribedinAppendixB.

The Hydrocomp l:orecast and Analysis Model (HFAM) computer program was used for this analysis. This program incorporates the same numerical algorithms for hydrolo#c processes as HSPF, but has additional features that facilitate the study of surface r.no ,inter ow,andba ecomponents.E×e,l r.
