<br />
<br />Eagle County authorized Matrix to begin the floodplain delineation of the Eagle and
<br />Colorado Rivers on May 7,2002. Numerous coordination meetings were conducted
<br />throughout the duration of this project with Eagle County and the CWCB. Draft reports
<br />were released to the Towns of Gypsum, Eagle, Avon, and Minturn at the meeting with
<br />FEMA on June 19, 2003. The results of this floodplain study have been reviewed and
<br />supported by the CWCB.
<br />
<br />For work on Gore Creek and its tributaries covered under Contract
<br />No. EMD-96-CO-0020, the initial Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) meeting
<br />was held on December 17, 1996, at the Department of Community Development in the
<br />Town of Vail. Representatives attended from the Town of Vail, the FEMA Region VIII
<br />Office, the CWCB, and Sato. The Gore Creek main channel revised model was prepared
<br />in coordination with the Study Contractor (SC) and representatives of the Town of Vail.
<br />The Town of Vail submitted updated bridge information dated April 28, 2003, that was
<br />incorporated in this study.
<br />
<br />For the Roaring Fork River in the Town of Basalt, the results of the Floodplain
<br />Information Report dated July 24,2000, were reviewed by the CWCB and adopted at its
<br />board meeting in Gunnison, Colorado, on July 24 and July 25, 2000. The Town of
<br />Basalt Board of Trustees held a final community meeting on July 25, 2000, to adopt the
<br />2000 Floodplain Information Report. The meeting was attended by representatives of
<br />the CWCB, Matrix, MWE, the Town of Basalt, and Pitkin County. No significant
<br />problems were raised at the meeting. Meetings were held on September 25, 2001, with
<br />both the Pitkin County Board of Commissioners and the Town of Basalt Board of
<br />Trustees to present the revised (2001) Floodplain Information Report for acceptance of
<br />the more stringent "zero rise" floodway delineation for the studied portions of the
<br />Roaring Fork River within their respective jurisdictions. A similar workshop meeting
<br />was held with the Eagle County Board of Commissioners on November 13, 2001, to
<br />review the "zero rise" floodway delineation.
<br />
<br />The results of the study were reviewed at the final CCO meeting held on June 19, 2003,
<br />and attended by representatives of the Towns of Vail, Gypsum, Basalt, Eagle, Minturn,
