<br />This map is for use in administering the National Flood Insurance Program. It
<br />does not necessarily identify all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local
<br />drainage sources of small size. The community map repository should be
<br />consulted for possible updated or additional flood hazard information.

<br />
<br />To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations
<br />(BFEs) and/or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to
<br />consult the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater
<br />Elevations tables contained within the Flood Insurance Study (FI S) report that
<br />accompanies this FIRM. Users should be aware that BFEs shown on the FIRM
<br />represent rounded whole-foot elevations. These BFEs are intended for flood
<br />insurance rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole source of flood
<br />elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in the FIS
<br />report should be utilized in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction
<br />and/or floodplain management.
<br />
<br />Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated
<br />between cross sections. The floodways were based on hydraulic considerations
<br />with regard to requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Floodway
<br />widths and other pertinent floodway data are provided in the Flood Insurance
<br />Study report for this jurisdiction.
<br />
<br />Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by flood
<br />control structures. Refer to Section 2.4 "Flood Protection Measures" of the
<br />Flood Insurance Study report for information on flood control structures for this
<br />jurisdiction.
<br />
<br />The projection used in the preparation of this map was Universal Transverse
<br />Mercator (UTM) Zone 13. The horizontal datum was NAD 83, GRS80 spheroid.
<br />Differences in datum, spheroid, projection or State Plane zones used in the
<br />production of FIRMs for adjacent jurisdictions may result in slight positional
<br />differences in map features across jurisdiction boundaries. These differences do
<br />not affect the accuracy of this FIRM.
<br />

<br />
<br />Flood elevations on this map are referenced to the North American Vertical
<br />Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). These flood elevations must be compared to
<br />structure and ground elevations referenced to the same vertical datum. An
<br />average offset between NA VD 88 and the National Geodetic Vertica I Datum of
<br />1929 (NGVD 29) has been computed for each Douglas County flooding source.
<br />This offset was then applied to the NGVD 29 flood elevations that were not
<br />revised during the creation of this countywide format FIRM. The offsets for each
<br />flooding source shown on this FIRM are shown in the Douglas County Vertical
<br />Datum Offset Table below. For information regarding conversion between the
<br />National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 and the North American Vertical Datum
<br />of 1988, visit the National Geodetic Survey website at http://www.nqs.noaa.qov or

<br />Base map information shown on this FIRM was provided by the Douglas County
<br />GIS Department and the Town of Castle Rock GIS Department. Additional input
<br />was provided by the City of Lone Tree and To~n of Parker. These data are
<br />current as of 2003.
<br />
<br />This map reflects more detailed and up-to-date stream channel configurations
<br />and floodplain delineations than those shown on the previous FIRM for this
<br />jurisdiction. As a result, the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data tables in the Flood
<br />Insurance Study Report (which contains authoritative hydraulic data) may reflect
<br />stream channel distances that differ from what is shown on this map. Also, the
<br />road to floodplain relationships for unrevised streams may differ from what is
<br />shown on previous maps.
<br />
<br />Corporate limits shown on this map are based on the best data available at the
<br />time of publication. Because changes due to annexations or de-annexations may
<br />have occurred after this map was published, map users should contact
<br />appropriate community officials to verify current corporate limit locations.
<br />
<br />Please refer to the separately printed Map Index for an overview map of the
<br />county showing the layout of map panels; community map repository addresses;
<br />and a Listing of Communities table containing National Flood Insurance Program
<br />dates for each community as well as a listing of the panels on which each
<br />community is located.

<br />This digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) was produced through a
<br />cooperative partnership between the State of Colorado Water Conservation
<br />Board, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, and the Federal
<br />Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The State of Colorado Water
<br />Conservation Board and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District have
<br />implemented a long-term approach of floodplain management to reduce the
<br />costs associated with flooding. As part of this effort, both the State of Colorado
<br />and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District have joined in Cooperating
<br />Technical Partner agreements with FEMA to produce this digital FIRM.

<br />SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS (SFHAs) SUBJECT TO INUNDATION
<br />BY THE 1010 ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD
<br />
<br />The 1% annual chance flood (100-year flood), also known as the base flood, is the flood that has a
<br />1 % chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The Special Flood Hazard Area is the
<br />area subject to flooding by the 1 % annual chance flood. Areas of Special Flood Hazard include
<br />Zones A, AE, AH, AO, AR, A99, V, and VE. The Base Flood Elevation is the water-surface elevation
<br />of the 1 % annual chance flood.

<br />Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain); average
<br />depths determined. For areas of alluvial fan flooding, velocities also determined.
<br />Special Flood Hazard Areas formerly protected from the 1% annual chance
<br />flood by a flood control system that was subsequently decertified. Zone AR
<br />indicates that the former flood control system is being restored to provide
<br />protection from the 1% annual chance or greater flood.
<br />Area to be protected from 1% annual chance flood by a Federal flood protection
<br />system under construction; no Base Flood Elevations determined.
<br />
<br />FLOODWAY AREAS IN ZONE AE
<br />
<br />The floodway is the channel of a stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be kept free of
<br />encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases in
<br />flood heights.
