Floodway Schematic <br /> <br />5.0 INSURANCE APPLICATION <br /> <br />To establish actuarial insurance rates, data from the engineering study <br />must be transformed into flood insurance criteria. This process includes <br />the determination of reaches, Flood Hazard Factors, and flood insurance <br />zone designations for each flooding source studied in detail affecting <br />the Town of Carbondale, Colorado. <br /> <br />5.1 Reach Determinations <br /> <br />Reaches are defined as sections of flood plain that have relatively <br />the same flood hazard, based on the average weighted difference <br />in water-surface elevations between the 10- and 100-year floods. <br />This difference may not have a variation greater than that indicated <br />in the following table for more than 20 percent of the reach: <br /> <br />Average Difference Between <br />10- and 100-Year Floods <br /> <br />Variation <br /> <br />Less than 2 feet <br />2 to 7 feet <br />7.1 to 12 feet <br />More than 12 feet <br /> <br />0.5 foot <br />1. 0 foot <br />2.0 feet <br />3.0 feet <br /> <br />10 <br />
