CHANGES ARE MADE IN DETERMINATIONS OF BASE FLOOD ELEVATIONS FOR THE TOWN
OF FRISCO, SUMMIT COUNTY, COLORADO, UNDER THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE
PROGRAM

On November 2, 1994, the Federal Emergency Management Agency identified Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs) in the Town of Frisco, Summit County, Colorado, through issuance of a Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM). The Mitigation Directorate has determined that modification of the elevations of the
flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) for certain
locations in this community is appropriate. The modified base flood elevations (BFEs) revise the FIRM
for the community.

The changes are being made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public
Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII
of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and
44 CFR Part 65.

The effective FIRM has been modified to correct mapping errors along Tenmile Creek Side Channel 2.
This has resulted in increased and decreased BFEs. The table below indicates existing and modified BFEs
for selected locations along the affected lengths of the flooding source(s) cited above.

Under the above-mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973, the Mitigation Directorate must develop criteria for
floodplain management. To participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the community
must use the modified BFEs to administer the floodplain management measures of the NFIP. These
modified BFEs will also be used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings and their contents and for the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and contents.

Upon the second publication of notice of these changes in this newspaper, any person has 90 days in which
he or she can request, through the Chief Executive Officer of the community, that the Mitigation
Directorate reconsider the determination. Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge
of changed conditions or new scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that until the
90-day period elapses, the Mitigation Directorate's determination to modify the BFEs may itself be
changed.

Any person having knowledge or wishing to comment on these changes should immediately notify:

The Honorable M. L. Etie
Mayor, Town of Frisco
