6. Estimate FIRM Panel Layout <br />Appendix F <br />The existing and proposed FIRM panel layouts for La Plata County are included in . <br />Table 9 <br />A summary of the panel counts are detailed in . <br />Table 9: Effective vs. Estimated Panel Counts <br />Effective Panel Count Estimated Countywide <br />Community <br />(FIRM/Floodway) Count <br />Durango, City of 1/0 - <br />Bayfield, Town of 1/1 - <br />Ignacio, Town of 0 - <br />La Plata County 32/24 64 <br />All new countywide FIRM production will be in Map Initiatives Format (see FEMA’s <br />Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix K, Section 1.4 [April 2003]) utilizing digital production <br />techniques to create a new Digital FIRM (DFIRM). In general, countywide mapping must <br />provide seamless coverage within the entire county area. To accommodate this effort, all new <br />panels must be mapped using the same control and grid system as the USGS 7.5 minute quad <br />map. The largest scale DFIRM in this format will be 1”=2000’, which is equivalent to one <br />standard 7.5 minute series quad map. To accommodate smaller scales and more detailed studies, <br />these panels can be further divided info 1”=1000’ or 1”=500’ scale maps. <br />The proposed DFIRM panel scale is determined from the effective scale of the FIRMs within the <br />county and communities. When the scales do not match, the proposed DFIRM scale will be <br />based on the closest current standard scale (i.e. an effective map at 1”=400’ will be mapped at <br />1”=500’ scale). A 1”=1000’ scale is proposed for all communities that were previously <br />unmapped. <br />The proposed panel layout will be finalized during the Scoping Meeting. <br />7. Leverage Report <br />As part of FEMA’s Map Modernization Plan, a leverage report template has been included in the <br />Pre-Scoping report to document information that will be provided by the community or county. <br />The actual dollar values included in this report are government Blue Book values and not the <br />
