<br />SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS (SFHAs) SUBJECT TO
<br />INUNDATION BY THE 10/0 ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD
<br />
<br />The 1% annual chance flood (100-year flood), also known as the base flood, is the flood
<br />that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The Special
<br />Flood Hazard Area is the area subject to flooding by the 1% annual chance flood. Areas
<br />of Special Flood Hazard include Zones A, AE, AH, AD, AR, A99, V and VE, The Base
<br />Flood Elevation is the water-surface elevation of the 1% annual chance flood.

<br />To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations
<br />(BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult
<br />the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations
<br />tables contained within the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report that accompanies
<br />this FIRM. Users should be aware that BFEs shown on the FIRM represent
<br />rounded whole- foot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood insurance
<br />rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood
<br />elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS
<br />report should be utilized in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of
<br />construction and/or floodplain management.
<br />
<br />Coastal Base Flood Elevations shown on this map apply only landward
<br />of 0.0' North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Users of this
<br />FIRM should be aware that coastal flood elevations are also provided in the
<br />Summary of Stillwater Elevations table in the Flood Insurance Study report
<br />for this jurisdiction. Elevations shown in the Summary of Stillwater Elevations
<br />table should be used for construction and/or floodplain management purposes
<br />when they are higher than the elevations shown on this FIRM.
<br />
<br />Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated
<br />between cross sections. The f100dways were based on hydraulic considerations
<br />with regard to requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Floodway
<br />widths and other pertinent floodway data are provided in the Flood Insurance
<br />Study report for this jurisdiction.
<br />
<br />Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by flood
<br />control structures. Refer to Section 2.4 "Flood Protection Measures" of
<br />the Flood Insurance Study report for information on flood control structures
<br />for this jurisdiction.
<br />
<br />The projection used in the preparation of this map was Colorado State
<br />Plane north zone (FIPSZONE 0501). The horizontal datum was NAD83,
<br />GRS1980 spheroid. Differences in datum, spheroid, projection or State Plane
<br />zones used in the production of FIRMs for adjacent jurisdictions may result in
<br />slight positional differences in map features across jurisdiction boundaries.
<br />These differences do not affect the accuracy of the FIRM.
<br />
<br />Flood elevations on this map are referenced to the North American Vertical
<br />Datum of 1988. These flood elevations must be compared to structure and
<br />ground elevations referenced to the same vertical datum. For information
<br />regarding conversion between the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929
<br />and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, visit the National Geodetic
<br />Survey website at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/ or contact the National Geodetic

<br />This map reflects more detailed and up- to- date stream channel configurations
<br />than those shown on the previous FIRM for this jurisdiction. The floodplains
<br />and f100dways that were transferred from the previous FIRM may have been
<br />adjusted to conform to these new stream channel configurations. As a
<br />result, the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data tables in the Flood Insurance
<br />Study report (which contains authoritative hydraulic data) may reflect stream
<br />channel distances that differ from what is shown on this map.
<br />
<br />Corporate limits shown on this map are based on the best data available
<br />at the time of publication. Because changes due to annexations or de. annexations
<br />may have occurred after this map was published, map users should contact
<br />appropriate community officials to verify current corporate limit locations.
<br />
<br />Please refer to the separately printed Map Index for an overview map of the
<br />county showing the layout of map panels; community map repository addresses;
<br />and a Listing of Communities table containing National Flood Insurance Program
<br />dates for each community as well as a listing of the panels on which each
