Of this amount, the Department of Revenue deducted nearly $16,000 in expenses, leaving just over $84,000 for the CWCB to dispense to applicants. Although we are authorized to spend up to $100,000 of these funds to administer the program, we took none ofthe funds for our own use. An attached memo sunnnarizes application selection process and the amounts granted to applicants. The facts below describe the status ofthe CWSPF among other check-offplans. . As of September 151, (money continues to trickle in), the CWSPF received $98,600 - $98,700 . The least received by any check off last year was about $34,000 .

Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, but a number of homes were damaged or threatened, and public infrastructure (i.e. roads and utilities) were damaged (see photos below) . In response to these post-wildfire threats, we continue to work with local, state, and federal partners to meet the technical needs for updated flood hazard information. Draft technical information for two of the three bum areas is now available for review. Map Modernization Implementation (Floodplain Mapping): The CWCB and the Urban Drainage & Flood Control District have completed negotiations with FEMA to conduct the first Map Modernization floodplain mapping projects in three Colorado counties. Federal funds will be used in conjunction with state and local funding to prepare Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) in Boulder County, Denver County and Douglas County. The first project will be the Denver DFIRM project. FEMA is providing $200,000, CWCB is providing $25,000, Urban Drainage is providing $25,000, and Denver is providing GIS base mapping. The second project is actually a two-part project. Mapping of northern Douglas County is being managed _by Urban Drainage with $240,000 from FEMA, $30,000 from the CWCB, $30,000 from Urban Drainage, wand GIS base mapping from local governments.
