2 Because the modified BFEs were published correctly at the time of each LOMR, they will not be republished at this time. The following table is a listing of existing and corrected BFE along Fourmile Canyon Creek: Location Existing BFE (feet)* Modified BFE (feet)* Approximately 2,300 feet upstream of 26th Street 5,425 5,429 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot Public notification of the corrected BFE will be given in the Daily Camera on or about November 12 and November 19, 1999. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the Daily Camera, 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 correct the BFE presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. 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 modifications made by this LOMR are based on data used to prepare the effective FIRM and FIS report. We are reviewing a detailed analysis for Bullhead Gulch, Prince Tributary and Indian Peaks Tributary that was prepared for us by Taggert Engineering Associates, Inc. When we issue preliminary copies of the new FIRM and FIS report that reflect the results of the new analysis, we will also provide a revised copy of the previously cited FIRM panel for review by your community. The revised FIRM panel will reflect the results of this LOMR. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60. 3( d) of the NFIP regulations. This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain
