'. , 2 Pursuant to the provisions of 5 V.S.C. 605(b), the Executive Associate Director, Mitigation Directorate, to whom authority has been delegated by the Director of FEMA, hereby certifies that the proposed BFE determinations, if promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. A BFE determination under Section 1363 forms the basis for new local ordinances, which, if adopted by a community, will govern future construction within the floodplain area. By themselves, the BFE determinations impose no restriction unless and until the community voluntarily adopts' floodplain ordinances in accord with these BFEs. Even if ordinances are adopted in compliance with Federal standards, the BFEs only prescribe building height in the floodplain and do not prohibit development. Thus, this action only forms the basis for future local actions. It imposes no new requirement; of itself, it has no economic impact. Proposed BFEs and modified BFEs along flooding sources studied by detailed methods are shown on the preliminary revised FlS and FIRM. Lessees and owners of real property in the City of Durango, PaPlata County, Colorado, are encouraged to review the FIS, FIRM, and related materials at the address cited above. The flooding sources studied by detailed methods are as follows: Source of Flooding Location #Depth in feet above ground *Elevation in feet (NGVD) Existing Modified Animas River Approximately 0.67 mile downstream Of V.S, Highway 155/160 None *6,375 Approximately 3.56 miles upstream of 32nd Street None *6,551 Approximately 1,500 feet upstream of Confluence with Junction Creek *6,626 *6,628 Approximately 5,670 feet upstream of Borrego Drive None *6,873 At confluence with Animas River None *6,485 Approximately 1,800 feet upstream of confluence with Animas River None *6,513 Dry Gulch Lightner Creek
