• "Floodplain Information" is a generic term used to describe any of the above types of reports
<br />and/or maps in the CWCB's "rules and regulations..."
<br />• "Floodplain Resolution" is a formal document prepared by CWCB staff describing the Floodplain
<br />Information that is to be designated and approved by the Board.
<br />1) Consent Agenda Item 3.a
<br />Floodplain resolution number: FPR 08-608
<br />Affected communities: Town of Erie
<br />Name of study to be formally acted on: "Flood Insurance Study, Town of Erie, Colorado, Boulder and
<br />Weld Counties" dated December 2, 2004, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
<br />Studied streams: The report includes detailed 100-year floodplain information for Bullhead Gulch,
<br />Coal Creek, Boulder Creek, and Prince Tributary, West Branch. It also includes approximate 100-year
<br />floodplain information for Coal Creek. The studied streams are in the South Platte River watershed.
<br />Technical Issues: Since the previous Flood Insurance Study was published, the Town of Erie has
<br />annexed lands from adjacent Boulder and Weld Counties, which requires an update of floodplain
<br />information for the Town. This study includes all major waterways within the Town of Erie. This
<br />restudy updates the previously designated Flood Insurance Study for the Town by incorporating a new
<br />hydraulic analysis for Coal Creek. In addition, a number of Letters of Map Revision were also
<br />incorporated.
<br />Community response: This study was prepared by FEMA in cooperation with the Town of Erie. One
<br />key element of FEMA's Physical Map Revision procedure is community involvement throughout the
<br />process.
<br />Staff findings: The subject Flood Insurance Study revises and therefore supersedes previous versions of
<br />the Town's regulatory floodplain infoiYnation. CWCB staff has deteiYnined that the subject floodplain
<br />information for the Town of Erie is in conformance with the CWCB's rules and regulations for floodplain
<br />designation and approval.
<br />Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board: 1) designate and approve the 100-year detailed
<br />and approximate floodplain information contained in said report within the Town of Erie and 2) authorize
<br />staff to prepare a floodplain resolution to be signed by the Director and transmitted to the Town of Erie and
<br />to FEMA. This action is recommended in order to meet statutory requirements.
