<br />1.3 Coordination <br /> <br />Streams requiring detailed and approximate study were identified <br />at a meeting attended by representatives of the study contractor, <br />. FEMA, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), the Urban <br />Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD), and officials of the <br />City and County of Denver on June 1, 1977. During the course of <br />work done by the study contracto'r, hydrologic and other flood <br />information was coordinated with FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of <br />Engineers (COE), the CWCB, the UDFCD, and the City and County of <br />Denver. <br /> <br />2.0 AREA STUDIED <br /> <br />2.1 Scope of Study <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Study covers the incorporated areas of the <br />City and County of Denver, Colorado. The area of study is shown <br />on the Vicinity Map (Figure 1). <br /> <br />The City of Glendale and unincorporated areas of Arapahoe County <br />located within Denver are not included in this study. <br /> <br />The limits of detailed and approximate studies were determined by <br />FEMA with community and study contractor consultation at the <br />meeting on June 1, 1977. <br /> <br />The flooding sources studied by detailed met\1ods are shown in <br />Table 1. <br /> <br />The areas studied by detailed methods were selected with priority <br />given to all known flood hazard, areas and areas of projected <br />development or proposed construction through 1986. <br /> <br />Detailed hydraulic reanalyses of the South Platte River, <br />conducted by Wright water Engineers, Inc., under contract to the <br />UDFCD, were submitted to FEMA in August 1986 and September 1987. <br /> <br />Due to current construction of channel improvements, flooding <br />determined for Westerly Creek has been presented in this study as <br />approximate. <br /> <br />Coon Creek, First Creek, and First Creek Tributary were <br />originally studied in detail by toe study contractor. The study <br />contractor's analyses were based on basin development conditions <br />existing along Coon Creek in 1918, and along First Creek and <br />First Creek Tributary in 1977. Due to increased development <br />within these stream basins, Coon Creek, First Creek, and First <br />Creek Tributary analyses have been revised to reflect projected <br />fully developed basin conditions. Flooding determined for these <br />streams has been presented in this study as approximate until <br />such time as development in these basins increases to the <br />projected conditions. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br />
