<br />6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP
<br />
<br />The FIRM is designed for flood lnsurance and floodplain management
<br />applications.
<br />
<br />For flood insurance appl icat ions, the map des ignates flood insurance
<br />rate zones as described in Section 5.0 and, in the IOO-year floodplains
<br />that were studied by detai led methods, shows selected who le-foot BFEs
<br />or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and BFEs in
<br />conjunction with information on structures and their contents to assign
<br />premium rates for flood insurance policies.
<br />
<br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints,
<br />screens, and symbols, the 100- and SOa-year floodplains, floodways, and
<br />locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and
<br />floodway computations.
<br />
<br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES
<br />
<br />The revised hydraulic analyses for portions of SJCD 6100, SJCD 6200',
<br />Dutch Creek, and Lee Gulch were taken from published UDFeD reports
<br />(References 15, 16, 17, and 18, respectively)~

<br />Flood Insurance Studies have been prepared for the surrounding
<br />municipalities of Columbine Valley, Greenwood Village, Englewood, and
<br />Sheridan, as well as the City and County of Denver, and Arapahoe,
<br />Douglas, and Jefferson Counties (References 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 2, 24,
