<br />obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations
<br />and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult
<br />Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations
<br />contained within the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report that accompanies
<br />FIRM. Users should be aware that BFEs shown on the FIRM represent
<br />whole-foot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood insurance
<br />purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood elevation
<br />information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS report should
<br />utilized in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction and/or
<br />floodplain management.

<br />Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated
<br />between cross sections. The floodways 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 the Flood
<br />Insurance Study report for information on flood control structures for this
<br />jurisdiction.
<br />
<br />
<br />The projection used in the preparation of this map was Universal Transverse
<br />Mercator (UTM) zone 12. The horizontal datum was NAD 83, GRS80 spheroid.
<br />Differences in datum, spheroid, projection or UTM zones used in the production of
<br />FIRMs for adjacent jurisdictions may result in slight positional differences in map
<br />features across jurisdiction boundaries. These differences do not affect the
<br />accuracy of this FIRM.

<br />
<br />Flood elevations on this map are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum
<br />of 1988 (NA VD 88). These flood elevations must be compared to structure and

<br />SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS (SFHAS) SUBJECT TO
<br />INUNDATION BY THE 1 % ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD
<br />
<br />3r 22' 30.00"
<br />
<br />The 1% annual chance flood (lOa-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 Flood
<br />Hazard Area is the area subject to flooding by the 1% annual chance flood. Areas of
<br />Special Flood Hazard include Zones A, AE, AH, AO, AR, A99, V, and VE. The Base Flood
<br />Elevation is the water-surface elevation of the 1% annual chance flood.
<br />
<br />ZONE A
<br />ZONE AE
<br />ZONE AH
<br />
<br />No Base Flood Elevations determined.
<br />Base Flood Elevations determined.
<br />Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually areas of ponding); Base Flood
<br />Elevations determined.
<br />
<br />Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain); average
<br />depths determined. For areas of alluvial fan flooding, velocities also
<br />determined.
<br />
<br />ZONE AR Special Flood Hazard Area Formerly protected from the 1% annual chance
<br />flood by a flood control system that was subsequently decertified. Zone
<br />AR indicates that the former flood control system is being restored to
<br />provide protection from the 1% annual chance or greater flood.
<br />
<br />ZONE AO
<br />
<br />ZONE ASS Area to be protected from 1% annual chance flood by a Federal flood
<br />protection system under construction; no Base Flood Elevations
<br />determined.
<br />
<br />ZONE V Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); no Base Flood
<br />Elevations determined.
<br />
<br />ZONE VE
<br />
<br />Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); Base Flood
<br />Elevations determined.
<br />
<br />
<br />FLOODWAY AREAS IN ZONE AE
<br />
<br />The floodway is the channel of a stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be
<br />kept free of encroachment so that the 1 % annual chance flood can be carried without
<br />substantial increases in flood heights.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />Areas of 0.2% annual chance flood; areas of 1 % annual chance flood with
