Floodway Schematic <br /> <br />5.0 INSURANCE APPLICATION <br /> <br />For flood insurance rating purposes, flood insurance zone designations <br />are assigned to a community based on the results of the engineering <br />analyses. These zones are as follows: <br /> <br />Zone AE <br /> <br />Zone AE is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the <br />laO-year floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance <br />Study by detailed methods. Whole-foot base flood elevations <br />derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected <br />intervals within this zone. <br /> <br />Zone X <br /> <br />Zone X is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to areas <br />outside the 500-year floodplain, areas within the 500-year <br />floodplain, areas of IOO-year flooding where average depths are <br />less than I foot, areas of lOa-year flooding where the contributing <br />drainage area is less than I square mile, and areas protected from <br /> <br />11 <br />
