Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 04-08-0389X The Honorable Ray Martinez Mayor, City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80525 Community: City of Fort Collins, CO Community No.: 080102 Panel Affected: 0011 C Effective Date of MAY 1 9 2M1. This Revision: uu-r 102-I-C Dear Mayor Martinez: 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) for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated March 4, 2004, Ms. Susan L. Duba Hayes, P.E., CFM, Floodplain Administrator, City of Fort Collins, requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to modify the effects of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) issued on December 17, 2003 (Case No. 04-08-0120X). 1bis LOMR is being issued to show more accurately on the FIRM the boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood), the flood having a 0.2-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year, and the regulatory floodway along Spring Creek from approximately 4,300 feet downstream to approximately 1,600 feet upstream of West Horsetooth Road. We have revised the FIRM to modify the alignments of the floodplain and floodway boundary delineations of the base flood along the above-referenced reach of Spring Creek. As a result of the modifications, the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, and the regulatory floodway along Spring Creek shifted and caused the SFHA and floodway widths to increase in some areas and decrease in other areas. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 0011 C. This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the effective FIRM dated March 18, 1996. The Base Flood Elevations and overall floodway widths will not change as a result of this LOMR. Therefore, the changes made by Case No. 04-08-0120X to the affected portions ofthe Floodway Data Table and to Profile Panels 28P, 29P, and 30P will remain effective as of December 17, 2003. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. A review ofthe determination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be made within 30 days. Any request to alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data.
