creased stream flow, and interruption of traffic at
bridge crossings .

joining the channel of a stream or watercourse and sub-

age area and excluding rare combinations of meteorologic

sonable upper limit to be considered in designing flood
control improvements and flood plain limits.

of a project for passage of the design flood includ-
ing the lands necessary for construction of project
levees .
b . Zone FP-2 , "Restrictive Zone . " The portion of the
natural floodway between the limits of the desig-
nated floodway and the limits of the flood plain,
as determined by the selected floods , where inunda-
tion may occur but where depths and velocities are
generally low.
