Box 580 <br />Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 <br /> <br />Community: City of Fort Collins, CO <br />Community No.: 080102 <br />Panel Affected: 0004 C <br />Effective Date of N OV 2 9 2001 <br />This Revision: <br /> <br />102-D-A <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Martinez: <br /> <br />This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community in <br />accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated <br />July 27,2001, Principal Engineer, Anderson Consulting Engineers, Inc., <br />requested that FEMA revise the FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of grading associated with the <br />power plant drop structure along the Cache La Poudre River from approximately 250 feet upstream to <br />approximately 350 feet upstream of the Burlington Northern Railroad (BNRR). <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM <br />and in the effective FIS report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations ofthe <br />flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along <br />the Cache La Poudre River. As a result of the modifications, the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the <br />Cache La Poudre River decreased, and the widths of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area <br />that would be inundated by the base flood, and of the regulatory floodway remained unchanged. The <br />modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0004 C and Profile Panel 07P. <br />This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the effective FIRM <br />and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated March 18, 1996. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified <br />by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Existing BFE <br />(feet) * <br /> <br />Modified BFE <br />(feet) * <br /> <br />Approximately 200 feet upstream of BNRR <br /> <br />4,960 <br /> <br />4,958 <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br />
