<br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in The Denver Post on or about May 21
<br />and May 28, 1998, A copy of this notification is enclosed, In addition, a notice of changes will be
<br />published in the Federal Register, Within 90 days of the second publication in The Denver Post, a citizen
<br />may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR, Any request for
<br />reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data, All interested parties are on notice that, until
<br />the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be
<br />modified,
<br />
<br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and
<br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data, We encourage you to
<br />disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons,
<br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information,
<br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper.
<br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons
<br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps,
<br />
<br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
<br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time, When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and
<br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications
<br />made by this LOMR at that time,
<br />
<br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the
<br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to
<br />your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60,3(d) of the
<br />NFIP regulations,
<br />
<br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP, Your
<br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits
