<br />2 <br /> <br />Pursuant to the provisions of 5 V.S.C. 605(b), the Associate Director for Mitigation, to whom <br />authority has been delegated by the Director of FEMA, hereby certifies that the proposed BFE <br />determinations, if promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial <br />number of small entities. A BFE determination under Section 1363 forms the basis for new local <br />ordinances, which, if adopted by a community, will govern future construction within the <br />floodplain area. By themselves, the BFE determinations impose no restriction unless and until <br />the community voluntarily adopts floodplain ordinances in accord with these BFEs. Even if <br />ordinances are adopted in compliance with Federal standards, the BFEs only prescribe building <br />height in the floodplain and do not prohibit development. Thus, this action only forms the basis <br />for future local actions. It imposes no new requirement; of itself, it has no economic impact. <br /> <br />Proposed BFEs and modified BFEs along flooding sources studied by detailed methods are <br />shown on the preliminary revised FIS and FIRM. Lessees and owners of real property in the the <br />unincorporated areas of La Plata County, Colorado, are encouraged to review the FIS, FIRM, <br />and related materials at the address cited above. The flooding sources studied by detailed <br />methods are as follows: <br /> <br />Source of FlQ2~lJng <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />#Depth in feet above ground <br />*Elevation in feet (NGVD) <br />Existing Modified <br /> <br />Lightner Creek <br /> <br />Approximately 2.09 miles <br />downstream of U.S. Highway 155/160 None *6,337 <br />Approximately 2.8 miles upstream <br />of 32nd Street *6,550 *6,548 <br />Approximately 3.56 miles upstream <br />of 32nd Street *6,551 *6,551 <br />At confluence with Animas River *6,485 *6,484 <br />Approximately 3,525 feet upstream of <br />U.S. Highway 160 *6,703 *6,699 <br /> <br />Animas River <br />
