<br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Areas between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Areas and the limits of the 500-year <br />flood, including areas of the 500-year <br />flood plain that are protected from <br />the 100-year flood by dike, levee, <br />or other water control structure; also <br />areas subject to certain types of 100- <br />year shal10w flooding where depths <br />are less than 1.0 foot; and areas subject <br />to 100-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, 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 Flood Insurance Rate Map Description <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for Vail is, for insurance purposes, <br />the principal result of the Flood Insurance Study. This map (pub- <br />lished separately) contains the official delineation of flood <br />insurance zones and base flood elevation lines. Base flood eleva- <br />tion lines show the locations of the expected whole-foot water- <br />surface elevations of the base (100-year) flood. This map is <br />developed in accordance with the latest flood insurance map prepara- <br />tion guidelines published by the Federal Emergency Management <br />Agency. <br /> <br />6.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />Because of the use of more recent data and more accurate study procedures, <br />this Flood Insurance Study supersedes the previously published Flood <br />Hazard Boundary Map for the Town of vail (Reference 8). <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Study is in general agreement with a Flood Plain <br />Information report for Gore Creek (Reference 4). Water-surface elevations <br />are different due to the reconstruction of bridges on Gore Creek and <br />the more detailed hydraulic analyses performed for this study. <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study has been prepared for the unincorporated areas <br />of Eagle County, Colorado (Reference 5). The results of that study <br />are in exact agreement with this Flood Insurance study. <br /> <br />This study is authoritative for the purposes of the National Flood Insur- <br />ance Program; data presented herein either supersede or are compatible <br />with all previous determinations. <br /> <br />29 <br />
