For additional information on Project Impact, <br />please visit our website at www,fema,l!ov/imDact, <br /> <br />If your community is encountering difficulties in enacting the necessary floodplain management <br />measures required to continue participation in the NFIP, we urge you to call the Director, Mitigation <br />Division ofFEMA in Denver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830 for assistance, If you have any questions <br />concerning mapping issues in general, please call our Map Assistance Center, toll free, at <br />l-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627), <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />'\~~- '\~ <br /> <br />Matthew B.
