<br />On December 13, 1977, the results of the study were presented at a final coordination <br />meeting, which was attended by representatives of the study contractor, FIA, the Town of <br />Wellington, and Larimer County. The study was accepted by all parties present at this <br />meeting. Comments from the CWCB which affected hydraulic computations have been <br />incorporated into this study. <br /> <br />In 1991, the CWCB requested that information continued in the 1983 SCS study be used to <br />revise the Flood Insurance Study for the Town of Wellington and Larimer County <br />(Reference 43). <br /> <br />2.0 AREA STUDIED <br /> <br />2.1 Scope of Study <br /> <br />This FIS covers the geographic area of Larimer County, Colorado including the Cities of <br />Fort Collins and Loveland, and the Towns of Berthoud, Estes Park, Johnstown, Timnath, <br />and Wellington, and unincorporated areas of Larimer County. <br /> <br />The streams studied by detailed methods are presented in Table I. <br /> <br />The areas studied by detailed methods were selected with priority given to all known flood <br />hazard areas and areas of projected development or proposed construction through 2006. <br /> <br />Approximate analyses were used to study those areas having a low development potential <br />or minimal flood hazards. The scope and methods of study were proposed to, and agreed <br />upon by, FEMA and Larimer County. <br /> <br />The upper and lower reaches of the Cache La Poudre River northwest and southeast of Fort <br />Collins, the Little Thompson River, and portions of Dry Creek were studied by <br />approximate methods. <br /> <br />8 <br />
