<br />~ <br /> <br />S.3 Flood Insurance Zones <br /> <br />After the determination of reaches and their respective Flood Hazard <br />Factors, the entire unincorporated area of Adams County was divided <br />into zones, each having a specific flood potential or hazard. Each <br />zone was assigned one of the following flood insurance zone designa- <br />tions: <br /> <br />Zone A: <br /> <br />special Flood Hazard Area inundated by <br />the lOa-year flood, determined by <br />approximate methods, no base flood <br />elevations or Flood Hazard Factors <br />determined. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Zones Al, A2, A3, A4, AS, <br />A6, A9, and A13: <br /> <br />Special Flood Hazard Areas inundated by <br />the lOa-year flood, determined by <br />detailed methods; base flood elevations <br />shown, and zones subdivided according <br />to Flood Hazard Factors. <br /> <br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Area between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Area and the limits of the SOO-year <br />flood, including areas of the SOO-year <br />flood plain that are protected from the <br />lOa-year flood by dike, levee, or other <br />water control structure; and areas sub- <br />ject to certain types of lOa-year <br />shallow flooding where depths are less <br />than 1.0 foot. Zone B is not subdivided. <br /> <br />Zone C: <br /> <br />Areas not subject to flooding by the <br />SOO-year flood, including areas that <br />are protected from SOO-year floods by <br />dike, levee, or other water control <br />structure; not subdivided. <br /> <br />Table 3, "Flood Insurance Zone Data," summarizes the flood elevation <br />differences, Flood Hazard Factors, flood insurance zones, and base <br />flood elevations for the segments of each flooding source studied in <br />detail in Adams County. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />30 <br />
