The <br />new Flood Insurance Study contains detailed floodplain information for the Roaring Fork River <br />within the Town of Basalt. Certainly past development within the 100-year floodplain has altered <br />the Roaring Fork River Watershed significantly $ince 1987, but the town believes that the <br />recently completed detailed Flood Insurance Study contains floodplain information that is more <br />accurate than the approximate floodplain informl1tion for the Roaring Fork River that is contained <br />in the Flood Insurance Study from 1987. <br /> <br />We would like for CWCB staff to review the Floodplain Information Report: Roaring Fork River <br />in the Basalt Area for designation and approval at the CWCB' s regular meeting scheduled for the <br />week of July 24, 2000. We would also like for CWCB staff to compare the information in the <br />Flood Insurance Study 1987 and the Floodplain Information Report to confirm whether there <br />truly is an inconsistency in floodplain information. We request that the approximate floodplain <br />information contained in the Flood Insurance Study not be designated and that the amended <br />floodplain information be the only information for the Roaring Fork River to be designated by the <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />Please call David Konchan at (lJ70) lJ27-472~ ifyo\l h.ve qllestions about our request for <br />designation and approval. <br /> <br />Srs:~ Vlc>Y\J~~~ <br /> <br />David Konchan ~ _~ <br />Project Manager () <br /> <br />Cc Brian Hyde <br />Tom Baker <br /> <br /> <br />M:\SphilpIHYDE.doc <br /> <br />Established in 1901 <br />
