<br />. <br /> <br />zone C: <br /> <br />Areas of minimal flooding. <br /> <br />The flood elevation differences, FHFS, flood insurance zones, <br />and base flood elevations for each flooding source studied in <br />detail in the community are summarized in Table 3. <br /> <br />5.4 <br /> <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map Description <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for the TOwn of Jamestown is, for <br />insurance purposes, the principal result of the Flood Insurance <br />Study. This map (published separately) contains the official <br />delineation of flood insurance zones and base flood elevation <br />lines. Base flood elevation lines show the locations of the <br />expected whole-foot water-surface elevations of the base (lOO-year) <br />flood. This map is developed in accordance with the latest flood <br />insurance map preparation guidelines published by the Federal <br />Emergency Management Agency. <br /> <br />6.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />7.0 <br /> <br />No flood studies have been completed or published that are pertinent <br />to the TOwn of Jamestown. <br /> <br />A Flood Hazard Boundary Map for the TOwn of Jamestown was published <br />on July 11, 1975 (Reference 7). There is no major discrepancy between <br />the two studies. The 100-year flood boundary shown on the previous <br />map does not agree entirely with the boundary determined for this study; <br />this can be attributed to the type and extent of analysis and to the <br />accuracy of mapping used in the two studies. <br /> <br />This study is authoritative for the purposes of the National Flood <br />Insurance Program; data presented herein either supersede or are compati- <br />ble with all previous determinations. <br /> <br />LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in preparation of this <br />study can be obtained by contacting the Natural and Technological Hazards <br />Division, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Building 710, Denver <br />Federal Center, Lakewood, Colorado 80225. <br /> <br />l <br /> <br />8,0 BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />1.
