D~ C. 20410 , CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED AUG 0 '7 1978 IN REPLY REFER TO: IFE (151) , FLO-l Honorable Richard Mann Mayor, Town of Milliken P. O. Box 97 Milliken, Colorado 80543 Dear Mayor Mann: On June 14, 1978, a final community coordination meeting was held for the Town of Milliken, Weld County, Colorado. Prior to that meeting our regional representative provided you with a preliminary draft of the flood insurance study for the community. This study includes certain base flood elevations and was prepared pursuant to provisions of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Public Law 90-448, signed August 1, 1968). The purpose of this letter is to notify your community of the proposed base flood elevations which will be the basis for the flood plain manage- ment measures that the community must either adopt or show evidence of being already in effect in 'order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Public notification of the proposed base flood elevation determinations is being given in The Johnstown Breeze on August 10, 1978 and August 17, 1978. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of Proposed Base Flood Elevation Determinations will be published in the Federal Register. Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (public Law 93- 234) is intended to assure an equitable balancing of all the interests involved in the setting of flood elevation determinations. The legislation provides for an explicit process of notification and appeals for the community and for private persons prior to this office making the final flood elevation determinations. We have outlined the appeal procedure below for your information at this time. The regulations developed by this agency to implement Section 110 may be found in Part 1917 of Title 24 of the Code of 'Federal Regulations. Copies of the Act and Regulations are enclosed.
