In a letter dated March 17, 1998, <br />requested that FEMA revise the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) issued on March 6, 1998, to correct the <br />zone designation for the areas north and south of Dutch Creek from approximately 1,100 feet upstream <br />of Fairway Lane to the confluence with the South Platte River. <br /> <br /> <br />The March 6 LOMR was issued in response to a request from Mr. David J. Love, P.E., also with <br />Love & Associates, Inc., to revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of construction of two 12-foot <br />by 25-foot, pre-cast, three-sided box culverts at Fairway Lane and channel modifications along Dutch <br />Creek from approximately 110 feet upstream of Fairway Lane to the confluence with the South Platte <br />River. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from - <br />Because this LOMR is being issued to correct a mapping or study analysis error, fees were not assessed <br />for the review. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM. We <br />have revised the FIRM to modify the zone designations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being <br />equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along the revised reach of Dutch Creek. As a result <br />of the modifications, the zone designation for the revised reach changed from Zone X (shaded), the area <br />that would be inundated by the base flood with average depths less than 1 foot, to Zone X (unshaded), the <br />area that would not be inundated by the base flood. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated <br />copy of FIRM Panel(s) 08005C0435 J. This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the <br />effective FIRM dated August 16, 1995. <br /> <br />~---- ._-_._._-~~.._.~...- <br />
