<br />Zone X <br /> <br />Zone X 1S the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to areas <br />outside the SOO-year floodplain, areas within 500-year floodplain, <br />areas of 100-year flooding where average depths are less than 1 <br />foot, areas of 100-year flooding where the contributing drainage <br />area is less than 1 square mile, and areas protected from the 100- <br />year flood by levees. No base flood elevations or depths are shown <br />within this zone. <br /> <br />6.0 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map is designed for flood insurance and flood- <br />plain management applications. <br /> <br />For flood insurance applications, the map designates flood insurance rate <br />zones as described in Section 5.0 and, in the 100-year floodplains that <br />were studied by detailed methods, shows selected whole-foot base flood <br />elevations or average depths. Insurance agents use the zones and base <br />flood elevations in conjunction with information on structures and their <br />contents to assign premium rates for flood insurance policies. <br /> <br />For floodplain management applications, the map shows by tints, screens, <br />and symbols, the 100-year floodplain and the locations of selected cross <br />sections used in the hydraulic analysis. <br /> <br />7.0 OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />This Flood Insurance Study was prepared by compiling existing hydrologic <br />and hydraulic technical and scientific data prepared by other <br />organizations originally for purposes other than those of the NFIP. The <br />data were identified as the best available at the time of compilation of <br />this FIS and should depict the general conditions of the flooding sources <br />with relative accuracy. FEMA performed a cursory review and accepted the <br />data as valid for purposes of this FIS and the NFIP. However, if better <br />information is known to exist or has been developed since the date of <br />this report, the information should be immediately forwarded to the <br />Natural and Technological Hazards Division, FEMA, Denver Federal Center, <br />Building 710, Box 25267, Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 for consideration <br />for revision of this study. <br /> <br />This report either supersedes <br />published on streams studied <br />authoritative for the purposes <br /> <br />or is compatible <br />in thi s report <br />of the NFIP. <br /> <br />with all previous studies <br />and should be considered <br /> <br />12 <br />
