<br />A revised Flood Insurance Rate Map has been prepared for the City of <br />Aurora (Reference 84), Flooding on Westerly Creek was studied by <br />detailed methods in Aurora, whereas the Denver study presents it as an <br />approximate analysis, In all other areas, the two studies are in <br />agreement. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study has been prepared for the City of Commerce City, <br />in Adams County (Reference 85). The 100-year floodplain boundaries along <br />the South Platte River agree at the Denver/Commerce City corporate <br />limits at the Franklin Street bridge. Zone X shallow flooding <br />originating from the right bank of Sand Creek upstream of Commerce City <br />was determined in the Denver Flood Insurance Study to flow north and <br />northwest along the overbanks. The flows were only analyzed in the <br />Denver study as far as Quebec Street which forms the eastern corporate <br />limits between Denver and Commerce City, This shallow flooding was not <br />analyzed as part of the Commerce City Flood Insurance Study, In all <br />other areas, the two studies are in agreement. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ Flood Insurance Rate Map has been prepared for the City of Wheat Ridge <br />(Reference 86). There is a discrepancy between the 100-year zone <br />designation determined for Clear' Creek for this study and the zone <br />designation shown on the Wheat Ridge FIRM, This difference is due to <br />the different reach length used to determine the zone designation in <br />each study. In all other areas, the two studies are in agreement, <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study has been published for Adams County <br />(Reference 87). That study is in agreement with this study, with the <br />exception of flooding along First Creek and First Creek Tributary. The <br />100-year floodplain boundaries along First Creek disagree between the <br />two studies; it has been determined that the Denver study more <br />accurately presents the flooding and that the Adams County study will be <br />revised at some future time to match it. Flooding on First Creek <br />Tributary was analyzed by approximate methods in the Denver study, but <br />was not analyzed in the Adams County study, A revised, detailed <br />analysis of flooding along the reach of the South Platte River upstream <br />of Interstate Highway 270 is being completed for Adams County. Thus the <br />100-year floodplain boundaries and the base flood elevations agree with <br />those for this Denver study at the Adams County line (Franklin Street <br />Bridge) , <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study has been prepared for the City of Cherry Hills <br />Village (Reference 88). Blackmer Gulch was studied by detailed methods <br />within Cherry Hills Village upstream to Whitehall Drive, which forms the <br />corporate limits between Cherry Hills Village and Denver. Blackmer <br />Gulch was not studied as part of the Denver Flood Insurance Study. In <br />all other areas, the two studies are in agreement. <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Rate Map has been prepared for the City of Englewood <br />(Reference 89), West Harv.ard Gulch, studied by detailed methods in the <br />Denver Flood Insurance Study, was not studied as part of the- Englewood <br />study, In all other areas, the two studies are in agreement, <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study has been prepared for the Ci ty of Sheridan <br />(Reference 90). The Sheridan study was completed before the <br /> <br />57 <br />
