<br />FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY <br />TOWN OF GEORGETOWN, CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, COLORADO <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />1.1 Purpose of Study <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Study investigates the existence and severity <br />of flood hazards in the Town of Georgetown, Clear Creek County, <br />Colorado, and aids in the administration of the National Flood <br />Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disascer Proteccion Act of <br />1973. This study will be used to establish actuarial flood <br />insurance rates and assist in the community in their efforts to <br />promote sound floodplain management. Minimum floodplain <br />management requirements for participation in the National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP) are set forth in the Code of Federal <br />Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Scudy was prepared by compiling percinent <br />information for the flood hazard areas in the Town of Georgetown, <br />Clear Creek County, Colorado, from existing technical and/or <br />scientific data originally prepared by others for purposes other <br />than those of the NFIP. The existing data were reviewed by the <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) prior to its use in the <br />development of chis Flood Insurance Study to ensure compliance <br />with NFIP regulationa. <br /> <br />In some states or communities, floodplain management criteria or <br />regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive <br />than those on which these Federally-supported studies are based. <br />In such cases, the more restrictive criteria take precedence, and <br />the State (or other jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain <br />them. <br /> <br />1.2 Authority and Acknowledgements <br /> <br />The sources of authority <br />National Flood Insurance <br />Protection Acc of 1973. <br /> <br />for this Flood Insurance Scudy are the <br />Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster <br /> <br />The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for <br />performed by The Colorado Water Conservation <br />completed in February 1987 (Reference 1). <br /> <br />this <br />Board <br /> <br />study <br />(CWCB) <br /> <br />were <br />and <br /> <br />1.3 Coordination <br /> <br />On May 24, 1988, <br />accepted at a <br />representatives of <br /> <br />the resul ts of this <br />final coordination <br />the communicy and FEMA. <br /> <br />study were <br />meeting <br /> <br />reviewed <br />attended <br /> <br />and <br />by <br />
