<br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Areas between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Areas and the limits of the 500-year <br />flood, including areas of the SOD-year <br />flood plain that are protected from the <br />lOO-year flood by dike, levee, or other <br />water control structure; also areas <br />subject to certain types of lOO-year <br />shallow flooding where depths are less <br />than 1.0 foot; and areas subject to 100- <br />year flooding from sources with drainage <br />areas less than 1 square mile. Zone B <br />is not subdivided. <br /> <br />Zone c: <br /> <br />Areas of minimal flooding. <br /> <br />The flood elevation differences, Flood Hazard Factors, flood insur- <br />ance zones, and base flood elevations for each flooding source <br />studied in detail in the community are summarized in Table 3. <br /> <br />5.4 Flood Insurance Rate Map Description <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for the Town of Minturn is, for insur- <br />ance purposes, the principal result of the Flood Insurance Study. <br />This map (published separately) contains the official delineation of <br />flood insurance zones and base flood elevation lines. Base flood <br />elevation lines show the locations of the expected whole-foot water- <br />surface elevations of the base (IOO-year) flood. This map is developed <br />in accordance with the latest flood insurance map preparation guide- <br />lines published by the Federal Insurance Administration. <br /> <br />o OTHER STUDIES <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study for Eagle County is being prepared (Reference 5). <br />Information presented in the Eagle County Flood Insurance Study will <br />match exactly information presented in this report. <br /> <br />No other flood plain studies have been completed for the Town of Minturn. <br /> <br />A Flood Hazard Boundary Map has been completed by the Federal Insurance <br />Administration (Reference 9). Information presented on the Flood Hazard <br />Boundary Map has been superseded by information presented in this study. <br /> <br />This study is authoritative for the purposes of the National Flood Insur- <br />ance Program; data presented herein either supersede or are compatible <br />with all previous determinations. <br /> <br />13 <br />
