Inundation zone means an area that could be inundated as a result of impounding structure failure and that would not otherwise be inundated to that elevation.

Inundation zone means an area that could be inundated as a result of impounding structure failure
Inundation zone means an area that would be inundated in excess of storm water by the water released by the impoundment in the event of a dam breach and is that area which would be inundated immediately downstream from the site of the impounding structure extending to that point on the stream where the calculated water surface profile resulting from the design flood, determined absent the impounding structure, converges with that calculated water surface profile which would result from failure of the impounding structure at the appropriate impounding capacity, with the time of such failure to be considered coincident with the time of occurrence of maximum inflow to the impoundment resulting from the design flood.
