The Honorable Gregory Heine
Mayor, Town of Silver Plume
P.O. Box 457
Silver Plume, co 80476

Dear Mayor Heine:

We appreciate and commend you for the efforts put forth in implementing your community's
floodplain management measures. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that:

· A Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) establishing
Base Flood Elevations has been completed for your community;

. The FIS and FIRM will become effective on June 6,2001; and
\

· By that date, our Regional Office staff will have to approve the legally enforceable
floodplain management measures your community adopts in accordance with
44 CFR 60.3 (d).

If you should encounter difficulties in enacting the measures, I recommend that you call the
Director, Mitigation Division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in
Denver, Colorado at [phone]. Our Regional Office staff will be happy to provide
technical assistance and guidance in the development of floodplain management measures. The
adoption of compliant floodplain management measures will provide protection for your
community and will ensure participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The
address of the Regional Office is FEMA, Mitigation Division, Denver Federal Center, Building
710, Box 25267, Denver, Colorado 80225-0267.

I realize your community may have already contacted our Regional Office staff and may now be
in the final adoption process, or may have recently adopted the appropriate measures. If you
have not done so, please consider this a formal reminder that you have 3 months left in which to
adopt the appropriate floodplain management measures and have them approved by our Regional
Office staff. Your community's adopted measures will be reviewed upon receipt, and our
Regional Office will notify you when your measures are approved.
