Box 68 Breckenridge, CO 80424 Community: Summit County, CO Community No.: 080290 FIRM Panel Affected: 0137 C FBFM Panels Affected: 0002 and FNDO Ef~ectivepate of 0'C1 2 2 2004 This ReViSIOn: 102-I-A-C Dear Mr. Lindstrom: This responds to a request that the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM), and Flood Insurance Study (PIS) report for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated December 12, 2001, Mr. Joshua Laipply, P.E., MartinlMartin Consulting Engineers, requested that FEMA revise the FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report to show the effects of new hydraulic and topographic data for the Snake River from the Keystone Road crossing to approximately 2,500 feet upstream of East Independence Road. With his December 12 submittal and subsequent correspondence, Mr. Laipply supplied new survey and topographic data and bridge data for the new West Independence Road crossing, located just upstream of the Paulson Road bridge. As part of this revision, format changes have been made to the FIRM for your community to meet current specifications. In addition, we have combined the information previously shown on the FIRM and FBFM for the affected panels. We have incorporated all essential information previously shown on the FIRM and FBFM into the new FIRM. Floodway information previously shown on FBFM Panels 0003a and 0003b and on a portion of Panel 0002 is now shown on FIRM Panel 0137 C. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with correspondence from Mr. Laipp1y. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and FBFM and in the effective PIS report. We have revised the FIRM, FBFM, and PIS report to modify the elevations, floodplain and floodway boundary delineations, and zone designations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along the Snake River. As a result of the modifications, the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the Snake River and the widths of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, and the regulatory floodway increased in some areas and decreased in other areas. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0137 C, FBFM Panels 0002 and FNDO, Profile Panels 39P through 45P, and affected portions of the Floodway Data Table. In addition, Profile Panels 39P{a) and 39P{b), which were inadvertently omitted from the effective FIS report, are included with this revision. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises effective FIRM Panel 0137 C and FBFM Panel 0002, both dated November 2, 1994, and effective FBFM Panel FNDO and affected portions of the PIS report, both dated August 9, 2001. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panels as listed above and as modified by this letter wiU be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
