This <br />Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panels of the effective FIRM dated <br />March 17, 1997, and the affected portions of the FIS report dated August 23, 1999. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panels as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your <br />community. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Existing BFE <br />(feet)' <br /> <br />Modified BFE <br />(feet) <br /> <br />Monument Creek <br />Approximately 1,200 feet downstream of Polk Street <br />Approximately 1,450 feet upstream of Fillmore Street <br />Shallow Flooding Area <br />Approximately 1,165 feet downstream of Polk Street <br />Just downstream of Polk Street <br /> <br />6,073 <br />6,097 <br /> <br />6,074* <br />6,098 * <br /> <br />6,075 <br />6,083 <br /> <br />I' <br />I' <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br />'Depth above ground, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br /> <br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the El Paso County News on or about <br />May 27 and June 3, 2004. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be <br />published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the El Paso County News, <br />any interested party may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any <br />request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on <br />notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs made by this LOMR <br />may itself be modified. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to <br />disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons <br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panels and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the <br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to <br />
