Scoping of FY09 projects: An additional funding amount of $35K from FEMA has recently <br />been approved for future Scoping of counties in Colorado yet to be determined based on the goals <br />set forth for the next phase of Map Modernization. <br />FY08 projects: State contracting is still underway for Gunnison County. The counties that have <br />contracts approved and work has begun include Montrose, Elbert, and Rio Grande Counties. In <br />addition, additional FEMA funding was provided to address identified levee issues along the <br />Arkansas River and Fountain Creek in Pueblo County. <br />FY07 Counties: La Plata, Park, Delta, and Summit Counties should be going preliminary in <br />December 2008. Coordination continues with the State, FEMA, the City of Colorado Springs and <br />E1 Paso County in acquiring certification of the Templeton Gap Floodway levee. The City of <br />Colorado Springs has contracted with Anderson Consulting to pursue certification of the <br />Templeton Gap Floodway levee. If all levee issues can be resolved in a timely manner, El Paso <br />County is projected to go preliminary in the summer of 2009. Teller County went preliminary in <br />May 2008 and Archuleta County went preliminary in August 2008. <br />FY 06 Counties: Weld County detailed study work continues to progress. Weld County has <br />identified levees in the Town of Evans and Severance. Due to these levees, additional work will <br />need to be completed. An estimated preliminary date is projected for October 2010. Work <br />continues for Fremont County and Clear Creek Counties. Fremont County is expected to go <br />preliminary in December 2008. It was found with Clear Creek County that a Master Drainage <br />plan's 100-year flows significantly exceed that of the effective FEMA flows and that Idaho <br />Springs may not be mapped showing accurate risk. The State's contractor has begun work on <br />updating the hydrologic and hydraulic study to update the floodplain through Idaho Springs. <br />Clear Creek County will go preliminary sometime in 2009. The Pueblo County Arkansas River <br />Levee floodplain study is in progress, finalization is still on hold as data from the City of Pueblo <br />detailed studies have been reviewed by FEMA but additional data from the applicant has been <br />requested in order to approve the study. From the Arkansas River analysis it will be determined <br />which sections of the Arkansas River levee and Wild Horse/Dry Creek levee need to be <br />recertified by the Pueblo Conservancy District. <br />FY OS Counties: Mesa County DFIRM is currently in FEMA review and is going preliminary in <br />December 2008. The Garfield Counties are completed and the County wide project is delayed <br />due to a USGS study that has been reviewed by Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (FEMA's NSP). The <br />initial comments from the USGS have been received and are currently being reviewed by <br />FEMA's NSP. Garfield County is planned to go preliminary in 2008. The Montezuma County <br />DFIRM went effective September 28th 2008. <br />FY 04/03 Counties: All of the Boulder County levees have been identified. The City of Boulder <br />is still working on determining their approach as to how all of their levees will be mapped and if <br />they plan to certify all seven of their levees. Once there is an approach as to how the levees will <br />be mapped and all of the data from the City of Boulder is received the CWCB can move forward <br />with their effort to complete the Boulder Countywide DFIRM project. The effective date is still <br />unknown. <br />~~~~ 11 ,w <br />~. <br />~~ <br />
