Maxwell <br />Chairman, Douglas County Board <br />of Commissioners <br />100 Third Street <br />Castle Rock, CO 80104 <br /> <br />Community: Douglas County, CO <br />Community No.: 080049 <br />Panels Affected: 0160 C and 0170 C <br />Ef~ective.~ate of SEP 11 2000 <br />ThiS ReVISIOn: <br /> <br />102-1-C <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Maxwell: <br /> <br />This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated April 10, 1998, Mr. Leroy E. Tobler, P.E., PLS., <br />Chief Executive Officer, Contra Engineering, Inc., requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to show the effects <br />of more detailed topographic information along Tributary A of East Plum Creek (Tributary A) from the <br />confluence with East Plum Creek to approximately 4,800 feet upstream and a channelization, culvert, and <br />detention pond project along Tributary A from approximately 4,800 feet upstream to approximately <br />9,000 feet upstream of the confluence with East Plum Creek. This request follows up on a Conditional Letter <br />of Map Revision issued on June 12, 1990. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. David D. <br />Vanderhoofven, P.E., P.L.S., Vice-president, Contra Engineering, Inc., and Mr. Tobler. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM. We <br />have revised the FIRM to modify the floodplain boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent <br />chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Tributary A from its confluence <br />with East Plum Creek to approximately 9,000 feet upstream. As a result of the modifications, the width of <br />the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, for Tributary <br />A increased in some areas and decreased in other areas. The modifications are shown on the enclosed <br />annotated copies of FIRM Panel(s) 0160 C and 0170 C. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby <br />revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM dated September 30, 1987. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the second date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and <br />as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your <br />community. <br /> <br />A review of the determination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be <br />made within 30 days. Any request to alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your <br />community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously <br />
