<br />Zone X <br /> <br />Zone X is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to areas <br />outside the 50 a-year flood plain, areas within the 500-year flood <br />plain, areas of lOa-year flooding where average depths are less <br />than 1 foot, areas of lOa-year flooding where the contributing <br />drainage area is less than 1 square mile, and areas protected from <br />the lOa-year flood by levees. No base flood elevations or depths <br />are shown within this zone. <br /> <br />6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood insurance and flood <br />plain management applications. <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance <br />rate zones as described in Section 5.0 and, in the lOa-year flood plain" <br />that were studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole-foot bas'! <br />flood elevations or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and <br />base flood elevations in conjunction with information on structures ann <br />their contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. <br /> <br />For flood plain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, <br />and symbols, the 100- and 500-year flood plains, the floodways, and the <br />locations of selected cross sections used in the hydraulic analyses and <br />floodway computations. <br /> <br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />Because this study was prepared using information developed for the Type <br />19 Flood Insurance Study for the unincorporated areas of Douglas County <br />(Reference 1), this study is in agreement with the Douglas County study. <br /> <br />8.0 LOCATION OF DATA <br /> <br />Information concerning the pertinent data used in the preparation of <br />this study can be obtained by contacting the Natural and Technological <br />Hazards Division, FEMA, Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267, <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267. <br /> <br />9.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES <br /> <br />l.
