2 The width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and the base flood elevations (BFEs) generally decreased along the revised reach. However, the SFHA now reflects the split flow along Garfield Avenue. The maximum width of this addition to the SFHA is approximately 100 feet. The maximum decrease in SFHA width, approximately 800 feet, occurs approximately 500 feet upstream of the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Griffith Street. The maximum decrease in BFE, approximately 4 feet, occurs approximately 400 feet downstream of Garfield Avenue, where Drainageway A-I follows the alignriIent of Goodhue Ditch. No property owners are affected by the SFHA along Garfield Avenue. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 08013C0560 F. This LOMR hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM dated June 2, 1995.

We encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however, within 90 days of the second publication in the Louisville Times, a citizen may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. 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 LOMR may itself be modified.
