• Description: CF Section - En-bloc Non-Reimbursables - CWCB - Colorado Floodplain Map Modernization Program
• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Memo

Staff Request
The staff of the Watershed Protection and Flood Mitigation Section is requesting approval by
the Board for anon-reimbursable investment from the CWCB Construction Fund in the
amount up to $500,000. The request is to provide matching dollars and related study funds in
order to take advantage of the federal grant funds from FEMA for modernized floodplain
maps in Colorado. The CWCB funds, if authorized by the Board and the General Assembly,
would be available for all phases of the technical needs for providing new digital floodplain
maps to multiple counties and communities in the state. Matching requirements (cash and/or
in-kind services) will also be required from the local governments receiving assistance from
the Map Modernization Program.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board request that the General assembly authorize $500,000 from
the Construction Fund to be appropriated to the Colorado Water Conservation Board for
technical activities related to the Colorado Floodplain Map Modernization Program.
