A FEMA Risk MAP county-wide study, impacting the communities of communities of Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Parachute, Rifle, Silt, and Unincorporated areas of the county is underway. Garfield County currently uses paper FIRM maps that were effective in 1986. Once this study is complete, Garfield County will be updated to digital mapping with updated special flood hazard areas for all effective streams and several newly studied streams. In total, 93 miles of detailed (Zone AE) and 97 miles of approximate (Zone A) are being studied, which includes 31.4 miles of previously non-model backed Zone A streams were updated by enhancing the county-wide 2-Dimensional (2D) base level engineering (BLE) analysis of Garfield County conducted in 2018 to Zone A quality. These values include additional stream reaches that were scoped in coordination with the county and communities in Spring 2021 and are being incorporated into the Risk MAP study. It is anticipated that hydrology and hydraulics for the additional streams will be performed throughout 2022 and early 2023, and the next Flood Risk Review meeting with the county will occur in Fall 2023.
