This LOMR has been <br />developed by Buckhorn Geotech, Inc. (BGI) for their clients Gondola House <br />LLC. The LOMR addresses past and recently completed building projects in the <br />floodplain of the river. Three structures have been built on the north bank <br />floodplain since the 1988 FIRM was produced. <br /> <br />Gondola House LLC wishes to have these building removed from the effective <br />floodplain to reduce insurance expenses. They are funding the LOMR. The <br />town supports this LOMR request to FEMA. <br /> <br />BGI has been pursuing the LOMR over the past two years, They have identified <br />that the original topographic data used to study the subject river reach was of <br />insufficient detail. This resulted in HEC-2 modeling that underestimated BFEs. <br />A corrected effective model was produced to verify floodplain conditions prior to <br />constructing these buildings using updated topographic information. Models <br />also were prepared for existing/pre-project and revised/project. A copy of the <br />tabular output data is enclosed. ' <br /> <br />Also enclosed is a copy of the FEMA review letter explaining remaining data to <br />be provided prior to the map revision being implemented. This includes notifying <br />CWCB of the pending change and seeking its commentary. Mr. Krch of BGI has <br />prepared the LOMR application forms and work map submitted to FEMA. They <br />are provided with this letter for your information. <br /> <br />Please contact Mr. Krch for any additional information you may need to complete <br />a review of the LOMR. He can be reached at (970)249-6828, or by mail at: 222 <br />South Park Ave., Montrose CO 81401. <br /> <br />
