<br />. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 4 <br /> <br />FPR 98-471 <br />Flood Hazard Boundary Map, Town of Keenesburg, Colorado, September 19, <br />1975. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />KEY ISSUES: <br />. The FHBM contains approximate floodplain information for local storm drainage problem <br />areas related to minor drainageways within the community. <br /> <br />. The storm drainage problems identified on the FHBM can be addressed through prudent land <br />use practices, future stormwater capacity improvements, and local regUlation. <br /> <br />. FEMA concluded that there were no significant floodplain problems in Keenesburg and <br />effectively rescinded the FHBM by a letter dated August 24, 1981. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY RESPONSE: <br />The Town of Keenesburg sent a letter to the CWCB requesting rescission of the 1975 FHBM. <br />After a meeting with the town and conducting a site visit, CWCB staff agreed that the FHBM <br />should be rescinded. The town is supportive of the Board's proposed rescission of the 1975 <br />map. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br />The staff recommends Board approval of the floodplain resolution for the Town of Keenesburg <br />rescinding the 1975 FHBM. The approximate floodplain information contained in the FHBM does <br />not meet the Board's "Floodplain Designation and Approval Rules". The rescission will assure <br />that inappropriate floodplain information for Keenesburg, for the purposes of federal regulation and <br />flood insurance, is explicitly left unapproved by the state, thereby complying with state statutory <br />requirements. The rescission will in this partic;ular case specifically call attention to the storm <br />drainage problems in the identified area, and recQmmend that those problems be regulated and dealt <br />with at the local leveL <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
