P~\(Y\"f ~b I~S3 +J,.::' Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 99-08-434P The Honorable Steve Carver Mayor, Town of Gypsum Town Hall P.O. Box 130 Gypsum, CO 81637 Community: Town of Gypsum, Colorado Community No.: 080295 Ef~ective pate of 0 C T 0 5 1999 This RevIsIOn: 102-I-A-C Dear Mayor Carver: This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated July 15, 1999, Mr. Randy Stouder. Town Planner. BuildinglPlanning Department, Town of Gypsum, requested that FEMA investigate a discrepancy between the elevations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along the Eagle River shown on the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and the base flood elevations (BFEs) shown in the flood profiles and F100dway Data Table in the effective FIS report. We determined that on September 30, 1983, FEMA revised the FIRM and Flood Boundary and Floadway Map (FBFM) to reflect updated topographic information associated with construction of Eagle River Estates subdivision. However, the information contained in the FIS report was inadvertently not revised. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is being issued to correct the information in the FIS report so that it matches the information shown on the effective FIRM and FBFM. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Stouder. Because this LOMR is being issued to correct a mapping or study analysis error, fees were not assessed for the review. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown in the effective FIS report. We have revised the FIS report to modify the BFEs along the Eagle River. As a result of the modifications, the BFEs for the Eagle River increased in some areas and decreased in other areas and are consistent with those shown on the effective FIRM. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of Prome Panel(s) 05P and 06P and affected portions of the Floodway Data Table. This LOMR hereby revises the affected portions of the FIS report dated March 16, 1981. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. We will not physically revise and republish the FIS report for your community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at that time.
