<br />ZONE EXPLANATION
<br />
<br />A Areas of 100-year flood; base flood elevations and
<br />flood hazard factors not determined,
<br />
<br />AO Areas of 100-year shallow flooding where depths
<br />are between one (1) and three (3) feet; average depths
<br />of inundation are shown, but no flood hazard factors
<br />are determined.
<br />
<br />AH Areas of 100-year shallow flooding where depths
<br />are between one (1) and three (3) feet; flood
<br />elevations are shown, but no flood factors
<br />are determined.
<br />
<br />A l-A30 Areas of laO-year flood; base flood elevations and
<br />flood hazard factors determined,
<br />
<br />A99 Areas of 100-year flood to be protected by flood
<br />protection system under construction; base flood
<br />elevations and flood hazard factors not determined,
<br />
<br />B Areas between limits of the I OO-year flood and 500-
<br />year flood; or certain areas subject to laO-year flood-
<br />ing with average depths less than one (1) foot or where
<br />the contributing drainage area is less than one square
<br />mile; or areas protected by levees from the base flood.
