<br />..., <br /> <br />40..1 _-;. <br /> <br />Mr. Henry Maddux <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />· What level of flood protection would be provided for any affected structures or non- <br />participating landowners where existing levees would be breached or removed? For <br />example, will protection be provided to the existing level or will it be provided for a <br />specific flood frequency such as the 50-yr event, 100-yr event, or 500-yr event? <br />What specific process will be used to evaluate and design measures that will be used <br />to protect existing structures? Who will pay for the flood protection measures where <br />they are needed? <br /> <br />We are in full support of protecting floodplain habitat prior to development. It is <br />extremely prudent to prevent development from occurring in areas that present significant <br />hazards to life and property. We also understand the importance of minimizing future loss <br />of floodplain habitat along Colorado's stream corridors. Construction of new <br />developments and flood control works within natural floodplains and riparian zones <br />should be avoided whenever possible. However, existing development and man-made <br />features that lie within flood hazard areas also deserve protection from floods when the <br />need arises. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of these issues. Please call Tom Browning at (303) <br />866-3441 if you have any questions regarding this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerel~>.~ /~ . ~ <br />.~;;:~ /'4~>i:/. . <br />...
