<br />FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />1.1 Purpose of Study <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Stud'y report revises and updates a previous <br />Flood Insurance Study/Flood Insurance Rate Hap for the City of <br />Broomfield, in Adams, Boulder, and Jefferson Counties, Colorado. <br />This information will be used by Broomfield to update existing <br />floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the National <br />Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The information will also be used <br />by local and regional planners to further promote sound land use <br />and floodplain development. <br /> <br />In some states or cOllllllUnities, floodplain management criteria or <br />regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive <br />than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more <br />restrictive criteria take precedence and the State (or other <br />jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. <br /> <br />1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments <br /> <br />The sources of authori ty <br />National Flood Insurance <br />Protection Act of 1973. <br /> <br />for this Flood Insurance Study are the <br />Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster <br /> <br />The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for this revised study were <br />performed by Greiner Engineering Sciences, Inc., Denver, Colorado, <br />for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under Contract <br />No. EMW-83-C-11-73.
