<br />FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY <br />CITY AND COUNTY OF <br />BROOMFIELD, COLORADO <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />1.1 Purpose of Study <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report revises and updates a <br />previous FIS and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the Ci ty of <br />Broomfield in Adams, Boulder, and Jefferson Counties, Colorado. <br />This information will be used by the City of Broomfield to update <br />existing floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the <br />National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The information will also <br />be used by local and regional planners to further promote sound land <br />use and floodplain development. <br /> <br />In some States or communi ties, floodplain management cri teria or <br />regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive <br />than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more <br />restrictive criteria take precedence, and the State (or other <br />jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. <br /> <br />1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments <br /> <br />The sources of authority for this FIS are the National Flood <br />Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. <br /> <br />The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for this revised study were <br />performed by Greiner Engineering Sciences, Inc., Denver, Colorado, <br />for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , under Contract <br />No. EMW-83-C-11-73.
