"', dated March 2, 1989, and the Flood Profiles and F100dway Data Table in the FIS report dated. September 30, 1992. Due to' the channel improvements, the stream length has been shortened. To account for the difference, an equality is shown on Profile Panel l6P and the F100dway Data Table at Cross Section W. The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: Location Existing BFE (feet>* Modified BFE (feet)* Approximately 3,050 feet downstream of Union Boulevard Approximately 2,180 feet downstream of Union Boulevard 6,444 6,444 6,449 6,460 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Gazette Tele2ra~h on or about August 4 and August 11, 1994. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Re2ister. We encourage you to supplement this notification by preparing an article for publication in your conmunity newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance your cODUDunity will give in providing data and interpreting the NFIP maps. Because this LOMa will not be printed and distributed to users such as insurance agents and lenders, your cODUDunity will serve as a repository for the new data. The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, within 90 days of the second publication in the Gazette Te1e2ra~h, a citizen may request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reconsider the determination made by this LOMa. Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMa may itself be modified. Due to present funding constraints, FEMA must limit the number of physical map revisions processed. Consequently, we will not republish the FIRM and FIS report for E1 Paso County to reflect the determination of this LOMa at this time. However, when changes to FIRM Panel 0154 C and the FIS report for your cODUDunity warrant a physical revision and republication in the future, the determination in this LOMa will be incorporated at that time. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the f100dway modifications described in this letter, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. This response to Mr. Bunting's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all proposed floodplain developments, including this request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or
