<br />Zone A: <br /> <br />Special Flood Hazard Areas inurdated by <br />the lOO-year flood, determined by ap- <br />proximate methods; no base flood elevations <br />shown or FHFs determined. <br /> <br />Zone A6 A7. A8 <br />and All <br /> <br />Special Flood Hazard Areas inundated by <br />the lOO-year flood, determined by detailed <br />methods; base flood elevations shown, and <br />zones assigned according to FHFs, <br /> <br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Areas between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Areas and the limits of the 500-year flood, <br />including areas of the 500-Year flood plain <br />that are protected from the lOO-year flood <br />by dike. levee, or other water-control <br />structure; areas subject to certain types of <br />lOO-year shallow flooding where depths are <br />less than 1,0 foot; or areas subject to <br />lOa-year flooding from sources with drainage <br />areas less than 1 square mile. Zone B is <br />not subdi vi ded, <br /> <br />Zone C: <br /> <br />Areas of minimal flooding. <br /> <br />Table 3, "Flood Insurance Zone Data". summarizes the flood <br />elevation differences.

Thi s ma p (pub 1 i shed separa te ly) conta ins the offi cia 1 <br />delineation of flood insurance zones and base flood elevation <br />lines, Base flood elevation lines show the locations of the <br />expected whole-foot water-surface elevations of the base (lOD-year) <br />flood. This map is developed in accordance with the latest flood <br />insurance map preparation guidelines published by FEMA. <br /> <br />6,0 OTHER S~UD:ES <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Study of Larimer County (Reference 10) is the only <br />study adjacent to the Loveland area, The Larimer County study was <br />completed using 1976 survey data and topographic mapping and therefore <br />does not agree with this study for the City of Loveland. <br /> <br />The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a FlOOd Plain Information <br />report in December 1971 (Reference 2). The Corps study does not reflect <br />current flood-plain conditions'and has been superseded by later studies. <br /> <br />The Federa 1 I nsu rance Admi ni stra ti on previous ly p,ub 1 i shed a Flood <br />Hazara Boundary Map for the City of Loveland which was used in this study <br /> <br />12 <br />
