Road to approximately 150 feet upstream of the intersection, the base flood discharge is contained in an
underground pipe and a stonnwater detention pond. The BFEs decrease a maximum of 5 feet just
upstream of the detention pond.

Along South Valley Dry Creek, from approximately 200 feet upstream of the intersection of Orchard Path
Road and Orchard Valley Road to approximately 1,150 feet upstream of the intersection, the FIRM has
been revised to eliminate a discrepancy between the effective FIRM and the Flood Profile in the effective
FIS report.

The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panels 0134 C and 0153 C;
Profile Panels 30P, 31P, and 38P; and the Summary of Discharges Table for Dry Creek. This LOMR
hereby revises these panels of the effective FIRM dated March 2, 1989, and the Flood Profiles and
Summary of Discharges Table in the FIS report dated August 16, 1995.
