In a letter dated June 26,2002, Jr., P.E., <br />Project Manager, Muller Engineering Company, Inc., requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to show the <br />effects of more detailed topographic information along Bear Creek from approximately 75 feet <br />downstream to approximately 450 feet upstream of Estes Street and redevelopment on the LAGO <br />Property along the northern overbank of Bear Creek from approximately 150 feet upstream to <br />approximately 1,350 feet upstream of Estes Street. The Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that <br />would be inundated by the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given <br />year (base flood), along these reaches is designated Zone A, an SFHA with no Base Flood Elevations <br />determined. This request follows up on a Conditional Letter of Map Revision issued on March 12, 200 I. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from <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 floodplain boundary delineations of the base flood along Bear <br />Creek. As a result of the modifications, the width of the SFHA for Bear Creek increased in some areas <br />and decreased in other areas. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM <br />Panel 0010 C. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the <br />effective FIRM dated 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 />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 <br />data. <br /> <br />We are processing a revised FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for Jefferson County in our <br />countywide format; therefore, we will not physically revise and republish the FIRM for your community <br />to incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. Preliminary copies of the countywide <br />FIRM and FIS report, which present information from the effective FIRMs and FIS reports for your <br />
