<br />Mapping Plan for Colorado <br /> <br />10.2 Proposed Approach To Map Production <br /> <br />As discussed above, a primary role for the State and its partners will be the management of mapping <br />activities. The map production activities that the Colorado Water Conservation Board plans to manage <br />using FY 2003 funds are summarized in Table 10.2. As shown in the table, these activities may be spread <br />over multiple Fiscal Years. At this time the Map Modernization funding that Colorado will receive in FY <br />2003 is unknown. Likewise funding for subsequent years is unknown. Because the number of map <br />panels addressed by Colorado is dependent on that funding, CWCB has chosen to fill out only the FY <br />2003 column in Table 10.2. We will fill out the remainder of the table once we have an estimate of <br />annual funding levels. <br /> <br />Table 10.2 - State-Managed Map Production Activities Using FY 2003 Funds <br /> <br /> Number of Counties <br /> (Estimated Number of Panels) <br />Mapping Activities FY 2003 FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006 <br />Scoping 16 (823) <br />Outreach and community coordination 16 (823) <br />Digital base map collection/coordination 16 (823) <br />Digital base map development 16 (823) <br />Field surveys 16 (823) <br />Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses 16 (823) <br />Floodplain mapping 16 (823) <br />Digital FIRM production 16 (823) <br />Post-Preliminary processing 16 (823) <br /> <br />The estimated number of panels in Table 10.2 was arrived at by adding up all of the needs identified for <br />the 16 top priority counties. The CWCB does not anticipate that all of those counties will actually see <br />their mapping work completed in FY 2003. Some of them will not even see their work initiated in FY <br />2003. Nevertheless, Table 10.2 shows all ofthose map update activities as FY 2003 activities. <br /> <br />The CWCB has the primary responsibility for floodplain management in Colorado including coordination <br />of the NFIP. CWCB will be the lead agency for the implementation of the MMIP in Colorado, except for <br />the Denver metro area. The CWCB is currently in the process of establishing a joint effort with the Urban <br />Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) in the Denver metro area for MMIP implementation. <br /> <br />The CWCB plans to have a new full-time State Floodplain Mapping Coordinator to implement the plan. <br />CWCB will be requesting a Federal grant to provide funds for an in-house employee or a contracted State <br />Floodplain Mapping Coordinator. The State Floodplain Mapping Coordinator will coordinate all <br />floodplain-mapping activities in Colorado between the State and local communities with the involvement <br />of the UDFCD in the Denver metro area. Because the State does not have the resources to fully manage <br />or perform all flood study or map upgrade activities, those activities will be performed by qualified <br />engineering consultants under contract to the CWCB. The State will rely on those consultants for: <br />scoping, outreach and community coordination, digital base map collection and coordination, topographic <br />data collection, field surveys, engineering analyses and floodplain mapping, and report writing. The State <br />Floodplain Mapping Coordinator will be involved in the management of all mapping activities and <br />coordination with State, Federal and local agencies. <br /> <br />12/26/2002 <br /> <br />Page 35 of 38 <br />
