Selection of the original community base map and identification of streams requiring
detailed study within the unincorporated areas of Eagle County occurred at a meeting
attended by representatives of the SC, FEMA, the CWCB, and Eagle County on June 3,
1977.

During the course of the work performed by the SC, flood information was reviewed
with officials of the CWCB and of FEMA.

2.0 AREA STUDIED

2.1 Scope of Study

This FIS covers the geographic area of Eagle County, Colorado, including the
incorporated communities listed in Section 1.1. The areas studied by detailed methods
were selected with priority given to all known flood hazards and areas of projected
development.

This study contains revised detailed flood hazard information for the Roaring Fork River,
the Eagle River, Brush Creek, and Gore Creek and its tributaries. The downstream end
of the restudy on the Roaring Fork River is at the Eagle/Garfield County boundary and
the upstream end is in Pitkin County at the confluence of Snowmass Creek,
approximately 9.6 miles upstream. The Eagle River was restudied from the confluence
with the Colorado River to just upstream of Northern Minturn Bridge in the Town of
Minturn, a distance of approximately 46 miles. The Colorado River was studied by
detailed methods from the Eagle/Garfield County line to the Interstate Highway 70 (1-70)
Bridge, which is approximately 4 miles.

The Brush Creek LOMR covers an area approximately 1,800 feet upstream of the
confluence with the Eagle River to 8,000 feet upstream of the Allen Tract Access Road.

Gore Creek and its tributaries have limits of detailed study as follows:

. Gore Creek, from the confluence with the Eagle River upstream to just past
Main Gore Drive (approximately 7.9 miles);

. Bighorn Creek, from the confluence with Gore Creek to approximately 1,900 feet
upstream, to just past Columbine Drive;

. Black Gore Creek, from the confluence with Gore Creek to approximately
1,200 feet upstream;
