the flooding sources with relative accuracy. FEMA performed a cursory
review and accepted the data as valid for purposes of this Flood
Insurance Study and the NFIP. However, if better information is known to
exist or has been developed since the date of this report, the
information should be immediately forwarded to the Natural and
Technological Hazards Division, FEMA, Denver Federal Center, Building
