Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from <br />Mr, Chris Dropinski, Acting City Manager, City of Boulder, Colorado. You stated that you disagree <br />with the tone and content of Mr. Dropinski's letter regarding flood hazard information for a levee <br />on South Boulder Creek. In addition, you support modification of the existing levee to obtain <br />FEMA certification and requested that the owner of the levee be allowed to seek FEMA certification <br />of this levee through the normal process. Thank you for expressing your concerns regarding this <br />issue. <br /> <br />In the enclosed letter, we responded to the items and concerns identified in Mr. Dropinski's <br />September 4 letter. As stated in the enclosed letter, upon receipt of data to correct the berm mapping <br />error and to identify the flood hazard associated with the split flow, we will revise the FIRM for <br />Boulder County, Colorado and Incorporated Areas, as warranted. <br /> <br />In addition, upon receipt of any map revision request and required documentation cited in Part 65 <br />of the NFIP regulations, we will make a determination on whether the effective FIRM and FIS report <br />should be revised. If a map revision request involves a levee system, we will evaluate the effects <br />of the system in accordance with the requirements of Section 65.10 of the NFIP regulations. <br /> <br />We trust that we have addressed your.concerns and we look forward to working with you to resolve <br />these issues.
