<br />
<br />Dear Mr Lang,
<br />
<br />In accordance with Section 37-60-106 (I) (c) CRS" as amended, the Town of Calhan is requesting that
<br />the Colorado Water Conservation Board consider the rescission of flood hazard areas within the
<br />incorporated portions of the Town, as depicted on the Flood Hazard Boundary Map for CaIhan and on the
<br />Flood Insurance Rate Map for CaIhan, The Flood Hazard Boundary Map and the Flood Insurance Rate
<br />Map both contain approximate floodplain information for streams within the Town, The Town of Calhan
<br />believes that both floodplain maps contain inaccurate approximate floodplain information, Both maps are
<br />inconsistent with the detailed floodplain information contained in the NRCS report entitled "Flood Plain
<br />Management Study, Town of Calhan, EI Paso County, Colorado", dated August 1995, which was
<br />designated and approved by the Colorado Water Conservation Board on January 29, 1997.
<br />
<br />We would like for CWCB staff to review the floodplain map entitled "Flood Hazard Boundary Map, Town
<br />of CaIhan, CO, EI Paso County", dated January 17, 1975, and the floodplain map entitled "Flood
<br />Insurance Rate Map, Town ofCaIhan, Colorado, El Paso County", dated March 18, 1986, for rescission at
<br />the CWCB's regular meeting scheduled for March 20-21, 1997, We request that the detailed information
<br />contained in the 1995 NRCS report be the ouly floodplain information for the Town of Calhan that is
<br />officially approved by the Colorado Water Conservation Board,
<br />
<br />Please call Lora Hahn, Town Clerk, at 719-347-2586, if you have questions about our request for
<br />designation and approval,
<br />
<br />Sincerely,
<br />
<br />TOWN OF CALHAN
<br />
<br />Mayor David C. Woolsey
