Floodway Schematic <br /> <br />5.1 Reach Determinations <br /> <br />Reaches are defined as lengths of watercourses having relatively <br />the same flood hazard, based on the average weighted difference in <br />water-surface elevations between the 10- and 100-year floods. This <br />difference does not have a variation greater than that indicated 10 <br />the following table for more than 20 percent of the reach: <br />Average Difference Between <br /> <br />10- and 100-Year Floods <br /> <br />Variation <br /> <br />Less than 2 feet <br />2 to 7 feet <br />7.1 to 12 feet <br />More than 12 feet <br /> <br />0,5 foot <br />LO foot <br />2,0 feet <br />3.0 feet <br /> <br />The locations of reaches determined for the flooding sources of the <br />unincorporated areas of Weld County are shown on the Flood Profiles <br />and summarized in Table 3, The reach of Eaton Draw affecting the <br />Town of Eaton is shown on Profile 34P. <br /> <br />5,2 Flood Hazard Factors <br /> <br />The FHF is the FEMA device used to correlate flood information with <br />insurance rate tables.
