These activities include: Implementation of floodplain zoning. F10odproofing structures. Sizing stream crossings and bridges. Preparation of a flood control feasibility analysis. Public awareness of flood problems. By authority vested in Section 30-28-111 of the Colorado Revised Statutes for county governments and Section 31-23-201 for municipal governments , the c it i es, towns, and count i es withi n the study area may enact certain flood-related controls and regulations ... "...to establish, regulate, restrict, and limit such uses on or along any storm or floodwater runoff channel or basin, as such storm or floodwater runoff channel or basin has been designated and approved by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, in order to lessen or avoid the hazards to persons and damage to property resulting from the accumulation of storm or floodwaters ..," Therefore, upon offic i a 1 approva 1 of thi s report by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the areas described as being innundated by the 100-year flood can be designated as flood hazard areas and their use regulated accordingly by the local agencies. It is recommended that such regulation be enacted upon such designation. Following acceptance of this study, the City of Central may request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency examine this flood study for technical accuracy and use the results of this study to replace the flood hazard boundary as shown in FH1A' s Flood Hazard Boundary Map of August 30, 1974.
