<br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Areas between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Areas and the limits of the SOO-year <br />flood, including areas of the SOO-year <br />flood plain that are protected from the <br />lOO-year flood by dike, levee, or other <br />water control structure; also areas <br />subject to certain types of IOO-year <br />shallow flooding where depths are less <br />than 1.0 foot; and areas subject to <br />IOO-year flooding from sources with <br />drainage areas less than 1 square mile. <br />Zone B is not subdivided. <br /> <br />Zone C: <br /> <br />Areas of minimal flooding. <br /> <br />The flood elevation differences, Flood Hazard Factors, flood <br />insurance zones, and base flood elevations for each flooding <br />source studied in detail in the community are summarized in Table <br />3. <br /> <br />5.4 Flood Insurance Rate Map Description <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for the Town of Gypsum is, for insur- <br />ance purposes, the principal result of the Flood Insurance Study. <br />This map (published separately) contains the official delineation <br />of flood insurance zones and base flood elevation lines. Base <br />flood elevation lines show the locations of the expected whole- <br />foot water-surface elevations of the base (lOO-year) flood. This <br />map is developed in accordance with the latest flood insurance map <br />preparation guidelines published by the Federal Insurance Adminis- <br />tration. <br /> <br />6,0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />No other studies for flooding sources through the Town of Gypsum were <br />found to exist at the time of this report. <br /> <br />This study is authoritative for the purposes of the National Flood <br />Insurance Program; data presented herein either supersede or are compatible <br />with all previous determinations. <br /> <br />7,0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Survey, hydrologic, hydraulic, and other pertinent data used in this <br />study can be obtained by contacting the Insurance and Mitigation Division, <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Building 710, Denver Federal Center, <br />Lakewood, Colorado 80225. <br /> <br />IS <br />
