With his June 22, 1993, letter, Mr. Bean supplied a copy of a public notice
stating the community's intent to revise the floodway.

The modification is shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM
Panel 1465 B, FBFM Panel 1465, Profile Panels l3P and l4P, and the Floodway
Data Table for the Roaring Fork River in Garfield County, Colorado. This
LOMa hereby revises these panels of the effective FIRM, FBFM, and the Flood
Profiles and Floodway Data Table in the FIS report, all dated January 3,
1986.

The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:
Existing BFE Modified BFE
Location (feet)* (feet)*
Approximately 2,000 feet upstream of
the confluence of Cattle Creek 5,945 5,945
Approximately 3,000 feet upstream of
the confluence of Cattle Creek 5,948 5,949
Approximately 6,200 feet upstream of
the confluence of Cattle Creek 5,962 5,963
Approximately 7,000 feet upstream of
the confluence of Cattle Creek 5,965 5,965

*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest
whole foot

Public notification of the revised BFEs will be given in the Glenwood Post on
or about July 6 and July 13, 1994. A copy of this notification is enclosed.
Within 90 days of the second publication in the local newspaper, a citizen
may request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reconsider
the determination made by this LOMa. Any request for reconsideration must be
based on scientific or technical data. In addition, a notice of changes will
be published in the Federal Register. We encourage you to supplement this
notification by preparing an article for publication in your community
newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and
the assistance your community will give in providing data and interpreting
the NFIP maps. Because this LOMa will not be printed and distributed to
users such as insurance agents and lenders, your community will serve as a
repository for the new data.

Due to present funding constraints, FEMA must limit the number of physical
map revisions processed. Consequently, we will not republish the FIRM and
FBFM for Garfield County, Colorado, to reflect the determination of this LOMa
at this time. However, when changes to the FIS report, FIRM Panel 1465 B,
and FBFM Panel 1465 for your community warrant a physical revision and
republication in the future, the determination in this LOMa will be
incorporated at that time.

The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain
development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this letter,
while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and
