other areas. On the effective FIRM, no regulatory floodway is identified through this reach of Cherry
Creek. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies ofFIlUvl Panels 0020 E and 0025 E
and Profile Panel lIP(a). This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced
panels of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated September 7,1998.

The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panels as listed above and as
modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your
community.
