. . . ~ Flow Subscription Mailing List, the March CWCB agenda and meeting, Staff provided public notice that these streams are being considered for appropriation. To view these reports, please go to the CWCB website at: http://cwcb.state.co.uslisfIWork_PIan/2007_Recommendations.htm. ICON Engineering Selected to Perform Flood Documentation Services: The CWCB has chosen ICON Engineering to provide flood documentation for the FY06/07 flood season. ICON will be asked to respond to flood events in order to gather infonnation regarding the extent and intensity of the flood event. At the end of the flood season, all event reports will be combined into a single flood season report. Floodplain Map Modernization Update: . FY 06 Counties: The CWCB has received preliminary cost estimates from PBS&J and Anderson Consulting Engineers for the FY06 counties to be studied and remapped: Weld, Teller and LaPlata. We submitted Mapping Activity Statements for all of these counties at the end of April to FEMA. These projects are to begin in September which is the beginning of the Federal fiscal year. Scopes of Work for the 2006 countywide mapping studies are being developed by Staffand the consultants. Pre-scoping notification letters are scheduled to be sent to Swnmit, Lake and Park Counties during the summer of 2006 to prepare for activities during the next fiscal year. . FY OS Counties: Garfield County is waiting on a signed task order and it is anticipated that this can be obtained in the near future in order to initiate field survey work. Mesa, Fremont, and Clear Creek Counties are on hold until field surveys for the detailed study areas can be completed, but all three studies are still on schedule. Montezuma County is on schedule and is in the midst of the hydraulic modeling phase of the project. . FY 04/03 Counties: Larimer County ended its 90-day appeal period at the beginning of May, however an appeal was made by a landowner in the Fort Collins area regarding technical infonnation on Boxelder Creek. FEMA granted a 10 day extension of the appeal period to assess the concern. The final floodplain maps for the county are scheduled to be effective in December 2006. Boulder and Adams Counties (within the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District) are scheduled to obtain effective maps by September 2006, and Arapahoe County (also within the Urban Drainage District) should have effective maps in November 2006. Fremont County should have revised preliminary panels in the near future, and Clear Creek County is in the midst of their scheduled appeal period with no known problems at this time. The CWCB and FEMA are working with the City of Pueblo and the Pueblo Conservancy District to recertify the levees. CWCB is providing coordination services and plans to initiate a monthly progress meeting for all entities to establish good communication and help keep the project moving forward. Staff has also offered to provide some possible funding from the Map Modernization fund to assist in the recertification effort. FEMA has offered to provide some funding for additional detailed studies to identify sections of each levee that actually provide 100- year protection; recertification is only needed where the 100-year floodplain is being retained. In addition, FEMA and their consultant are planning to create guidelines that the City of Pueblo and the Pueblo Conservancy District can use to obtain a cost estimate for recertification. As a result of this meeting, the team was able to detennine a plan of action and initial steps to achieve the desired goal. . Certification of Pueblo Levees: The schedule for the Pueblo County Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) project has been extended for one year due to new guidelines resulting from impacts of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans levee systems. Four levees are located within 33
