Headley, Director, Department of Planning and Development, Pueblo <br />County, that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate <br />Map (FIRM) for the above-referenced community in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. Mr. Headley requested changes to determinations made in a LOMR <br />issued on February 8, 2000. In the July 27 letter, we informed you that a portion of the Special Flood Hazard <br />Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or <br />exceeded in any given year (base flood), along an unnamed tributary to Six Mile Creek (unnamed tributary) <br />would be removed from the FIRM. We stated that we would initiate a LOMR to reflect this change. In <br />addition, we determined that the title blocks of the annotated copies of FIRM Panels 0275 B and 0360 B that <br />were attached to the February 8 LOMR had been inadvertently interchanged. We also are correcting those <br />title blocks through issuance of this LOMR. <br /> <br />We have revised the FIRM to modify the floodplain boundary delineations of the base flood along the <br />unnamed tributary from its confluence with Six Mile Creek to approximately 5,000 feet upstream of <br />36th Lane. As a result of the modifications, the width ofthe SFHA increased in some areas and decreased <br />in other areas, and the SFHA was removed from the FIRM from just upstream of 43rd Lane to approximately <br />5,000 feet upstream of36th Lane. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM <br />Panel(s) 0275 B, 0360 Band 0380 B. This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the <br />effective FIRM dated September 29, 1989. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />A review of the determination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be <br />made within 30 days. Any request to alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your <br />community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously <br />cited FIRM panel(s) and FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will <br />incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at that time. <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 <br />
