<br />2 <br /> <br />Because this revision request also affects the unincorporated areas of Douglas County, a separate LOMR <br />for that community was issued on the same date as this LOMR. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Existing BFE <br />(feet)* <br /> <br />Modified BFE <br />(feet) * <br /> <br />Approximately 1,450 feet downstream of Riva Ridge Street <br />Approximately 100 feet upstream of Riva Ridge Street <br />Approximately 3,000 feet upstream of Riva Ridge Street <br />Approximately 5,700 feet upstream of Riva Ridge Street <br />Approximately 8,800 feet upstream of Riva Ridge Street <br /> <br />5,928 <br />5,943 <br />5,977 <br />6,017 <br />6,057 <br /> <br />5,929 <br />5,946 <br />5,980 <br />6,020 <br />6,063 <br /> <br />* Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. rounded to the nearest whole foot <br /> <br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in The Denver Post on or about May 21 <br />and May 28, 1998. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be <br />published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in The Denver Post, a citizen <br />may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for <br />reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until <br />the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be <br />modified. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to <br />disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons <br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the <br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to <br />your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the <br />NFIP regulations. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits <br />
