<br />1 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMAP) funding from FEMA through the CWCB has been <br />secured for La Junta and Otero County. The funds will be used to acquire/relocate/demolish eleven <br />(11) floodprone structures in the Arkansas River floodplain near La Junta. Such mitigation activities <br />will insure that proposed future channel improvements in the La Junta area related to the Arkansas <br />River Study are compatible with the intent of the flood hazard mitigation multi-objective process. <br /> <br />In addition, Prowers County has applied to the CWCB for FY 98 FMAP funding for channel <br />improvement mitigation activities. If the application is successful, the proposed mitigation activities <br />for the Arkansas River will be directly correlated to the Corps recommendations for channel <br />improvements in the Lower Reach of the Arkansas River Study. <br />
