A. The areas of special flood hazard identified by the federal emergency management agency in an engineering report entitled, "The Flood Insurance Study For The Village Of Angel Fire", dated November 4, 2010, with accompanying flood insurance rate maps and flood boundary-floodway maps (FIRM and FBFM) are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this code.
B. Other floodplain areas may be designated by the Angel Fire village council upon request by the floodplain administrator. These floodplain areas may be determined in one of two (2) ways. Floodplains may be delineated by accepted hydrologic and hydraulic practices or floodplains may be areas flooded by a historic flood.
C. Before floodplains other than special flood hazard areas designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency may be adopted, they must be approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for floodplain management purposes.
D. If the base flood (100-year flood) has been determined for a stream reach, in no case shall a floodplain be adopted that has a flood elevation lower than the base flood elevation. (Ord. 2010-15, 11-16-2010)
