<br />maximum of approximately 30 feet, approximately 250 feet upstream of Fish Hatchery Road to coincide
<br />with the channel banks indicated by the submitted topographic data, Because the hydraulic analyses
<br />performed for the effective FIS were based on surveyed cross sections representing the existing
<br />conditions, the base flood elevations are not affected by this revision, All affected property owners have
<br />been notified of and are in agreement with this revision,
<br />
<br />The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0001 B, This LOMR
<br />hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM dated May 4, 1987,
<br />
<br />The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, a review of the determination made by
<br />this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be made within 30 days, Any request to
<br />alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data,
<br />
<br />Due to present funding constraints, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must limit the
<br />number of physical map revisions processed, Consequently, we will not republish the FIRM for your
<br />community to reflect the determination of this LOMR at this time, However, when changes to FIRM
<br />Panel 0001 B warrant a physical revision and republication in the future, the determination in this LOMR
<br />will be incorporated at that time,
<br />
<br />The flood way is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore,
<br />the floodway modifications described in this letter, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable
<br />to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of
<br />the NFIP regulations,
<br />
<br />This response to Mr. Spooner's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established
<br />under the NFIP, Your community is responsible for approving all proposed floodplain developments,
<br />including this request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been
<br />received, With knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, State and community officials
<br />may set higher standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas, If the State of
<br />Colorado or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management
<br />criteria, these criteria take precedence,
<br />
<br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents
<br />and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data, We encourage you
<br />to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested
<br />persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the
<br />information, We also encourage you to prepare an article for publication in your community's local
<br />newspaper, This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials
<br />of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFlP
<br />maps,
<br />
<br />The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies
<br />and renewals issued for your community,
<br />
<br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973
<br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended
<br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90.448), 42 U.s.C, 4001.
