2 As a result of the modifications along Cherry Creek, the BFEs for Cherry Creek increased, the width of the SFHA increased in some areas and decreased in other areas, and the width of the regulatory floodway did not change. The increases in BFE along Cherry Creek are less than 0.5 foot and therefore do not warrant revision of the effective flood profile. Because the increases in BFE for Cherry Creek do not change the whole-foot BFEs shown on the effective FIRM, they will not be published in a local newspaper. According to the updated corporate limits information for the Town of Parker, the revised reach along Cherry Creek, from the confluence of Newlin Gulch to approximately 2,000 feet downstream, lies entirely within the Town of Parker. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0070 E, Profile Panel 73P, and affected portions of the Floodway Data Table. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated January 5, 1996. Because this revision request also affects the Town of Parker, a separate LOMR for that community was issued on the same date as this LOMR. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs for Newlin Gulch: Location Existing BFE (feet)* Modified BFE (feet) * Approximately 500 feet upstream of confluence with Cherry Creek Approximately 2,040 feet upstream of confluence with Cherry Creek 5,778 5,776 5,798 5,799 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Douglas County News Press on or about July 11 and July 18, 2001. 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 the Douglas County News Press, any interested party 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 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs made by this LOMR may itself be modified. 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 NFlP maps.
