This process includes <br />the determination of reaches, Flood Hazard Factors, and flood insurance <br />zone designations for each flooding source studied in detail affecting <br />the City of Aspen. <br /> <br />5.1 Reach Determinations <br /> <br />Reaches are defined as sections of flood plain that have 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 may not have a variation ~reater than that indicated in <br />the following table for more than 20 percent of the reach: <br /> <br />Average Difference Between <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 />1. 0 foot <br />2.0 feet <br />3.0 feet <br /> <br />12 <br />
