Army Corp of Engineers, Sacramento, in 1980. <br />Discharges reported in the AS and the Flood Hazard Information Report are similar. A <br />comparison of the reports shows some minor changes in the floodplain, <br /> <br />Communitv Response to the CWCB Deshmation and Approval Process <br />A letter from the CWCB was transmitted to Montrose County regarding the Board's proposed <br />action for designation and approval of the Montrose County AS. The county was receptive to <br />the Board's proposed designation action, and sent an official letter requesting that the CWCB <br />designate and approve the floodplain information currently available to the community. A copy <br />of the request letter is included in the Appendix of this report. <br /> <br />A meeting was held with the county on November 8, 2000, to explain the designation process, to <br />review the FIRMs and to solicit comments regarding the maps and general flooding conditions in <br />the town. Three county commissioners and three county staff were present at the meeting. A <br />field tour of several Montrose County floodplains was also conducted at this time. No <br />contradictory evidence to the AS was found during the field review. Meeting and field review <br />notes are presented in the Appendix. <br /> <br />4 <br />
