In a letter dated July 13,2000, P.E., <br />Ascent Engineering Services, requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to show the effects of placement of <br />fill along the northern .overbank of Dry Gulch associated with the Lock-N-Key Storage Facility. This <br />request also included a hydraulic analysis that incorporated more detailed topographic information along <br />Dry Gulch from Kipling Street to approximately 500 feet downstream. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Bill <br />DeGroot, P.E., Chief, Floodplain Management Program, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, and <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM. <br />We have revised the FIRM to modify the elevations and floodplain boundary delineations of the flood <br />having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Dry <br />Gulch. As a result of the modifications, the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for Dry Gulch and the width <br />of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, <br />decreased. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 0005 C. This <br />Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the effective FIRM dated <br />January 3, 1983. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified <br />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 100 feet downstream of Kipling Street <br /> <br />5,550 <br /> <br />5,549 <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br />
