2 of the Summary of Discharges Table and Floodway Data Table. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated August 16, 1995. Because this revision request also affects the Cities of Greenwood Village and Littleton and the unincorporated areas of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, separate LOMRs for those communities were issued on the same date as this LOMR. The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: Location Existing BFE (feet) * Modified BFE (feet) * Approximately 1,050 feet downstream of South Santa Fe Drive Approximately 1,000 feet upstream of Lehow Avenue 5,307 5,381 5,309 5,380 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in 1he Englewood Herald on or about March 24 and March 31, 2000. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in 1he Englewood Herald, a citizen may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 9O-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. This LOMR will become effective after the 9O-day appeal period elapses. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and PIS report for your community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and PIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by 'Ibis LOMR at that time. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations.
