ion ratio) in the equation used to determine all existing handbook CN tables has been found to include a much larger range of numbers, making all handbook CN values of dubious value compared to more recently published, data-based CN values.CN methods are also subject to scrutiny due to the limited parameterization. It is well understood that there are complex natural controls on rainfall-runoff relationships, and 117 CN numbers only have input information for a select few of these parameters. CNs are almost completely empirical and not based in fact, limiting the application and effective use of this method. There were data deficiencies preventing model calibration and subsequent sediment modeling. Roughness coefficient selection is challenging and subject to significant scrutiny without observed rainfall/runoff data for calibration. No gauge data are available for Schultz Creek, therefore accuracy of selected roughness coefficients is unknown. Flow data including either total discharge or velocity with observed water surfaces would be required to calculate roughness coefficients. There were several cross sections where the water surface defaulted to the critical depth. This is most likely due to the relative low density of cross sections on such steep slopes (~2-5%). It is recommended, at a minimum, cross section geometry should be measured every 50 ft (Willie Odem, personal communication). The model built for this study was intended to be a comparative analysis of possible flow scenarios and not an accurate simulation of a specific condition because no stream discharge calibration data exist for Schultz Creek. The results are a useful preliminary analysis of the hydraulics along Schultz Creek and were not developed for use as a detailed design tool. Future studies could significantly improve simulation with more detailed field work and monitoring. Geometry resolution could be improved by converting available LiDAR data for the watershed into a HEC-RAS friendly format to extract cross section data within HEC-RAS. Detailed monitoring of observed runoff events could be used to calibrate a model to discharge measurements.
