AntiCipated Federal Funcling <br />. Anticipated Slate and Local Cost Share <br />o Remamder of Funding to Reach "Full FUl1cling" Level <br /> <br />This Plan is intended to be a comprehensive and living document that can he used as a guidance <br />tool for the (We[rs tlood mapping program regardless of future technological advances. shifts <br />in policy guid,:mcc. or changes in funding h:vd. Because the authors acknowledge that there will <br />be changing conditions in the future: an etTort has been made to create a document that addresses <br />a \"ariety of options that may at som\:' point be available for the CWClrs Floodplain \lapping <br />Program. Through thc implemenlatum of this Plan it is envisioned that the goal of providing <br />digital. hIgh quality. accuratc, up-to-date. and geographically comprehensive tlood hazard <br />infonnation to residents of Colorado will be achieved. while concurrently working \\'ith FE)'1A <br />to meet their national perfonnance goals. A cooperative effort designed to simultaneously meet <br />local. state, and federal goals will assist in making ;..Iap Modernization a success. To ensure thai <br />thc document is. indeed. "living", CWCB will revie".' and update it annually. <br /> <br />The C\\'CB would be extremdy grateful to receive the Full funding level ($59 million) identitied <br />in this document. with the complete understanding thai it is highly unlikely that FE\1A will be <br />able to provide that amount of funding. The C\VCB requests Medium funding (533.5 million <br />for fivc years). with an 80% FE;-..IA share of 526.8 million (an average of 55.4 million per year <br />for each of Ihe next tive years). The ~Iedium funding level would assist greatl)' in meeting the <br />state\vide needs and would allow Ihe State to develop accurate and up-Io-date DFIRMs and <br />perfonn much needed site-specific hydrologic/hydraulic studies within the counties being re- <br />studied. )'Iap revision studies have been identiticd and requested by various communities with <br />the state, and the CWCS supports the need for more accurate and IIp-to-date flood hazard <br />infonnation. Thc \tcdium funding lcvel will ensure that all counties in Colorado will havc <br />digital maps and approximately 50% of the site-specific engineering needs in Colorado \J.,'ill be <br />addressed. As a comparison, actual FY '03 funding. including. the local and state shares. has <br />been approximately 51.5 million. To ensure ~'lap \lodcrnization success in Colorado, a <br />substantial increase in funding will be needed in Fiscal \{ ear 200-t The \1cdium funding level is <br />the preferred alternative requcsted by the ewcs because it provides an opportunity to address <br />thc required engineering services that are identified by the ewes and locals. If the \tedium <br />level of funding cannot be pmvided, the Low funding le\'el (521 million) would allo\\" the <br />C\VCB to meet the vcry basic needs in Colorado. Regardless of the funding len:~1 provided, the <br />CWCS stands commItted to making \lap Mrldcrnization a success in Colorado. <br /> <br />Colorado Ru~in('~~ Caw Plan - '-larch 2UO-l <br /> <br />ES.4 <br />
