Honorable Santo J. Sangosti
Mayor, City of Gunnison
P.O. Box 239
Gunnison, Colorado 81230

Dear Mayor Sangosti:

Several preliminary copies of the revised Flood Profile (03P) for the Gunnison
River are herewith transmitted for your information and review. This preliminary
edition of the study has incorporated into it all necessary changes brought
forward at the Final Community Coordination meeting held on January 21, 1981.
The remainder of the Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map for
the City of Gunnison, Gunnison County, Colorado is unchanged from that presented
to you at the meeting. The study includes certain base fl00d elevations and
was prepared pursuant to provisions of the National Fl00d Insurance Act of
1968, as amended (Public Law 90-448, signed August 1, 1968).

The purpose of this letter is to notify your community of the proposed base
flood elevations which wil1 be the basis for the flood plain management measures
that the community must either adopt or show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program.

Public notification of the proposed base flood elevation determinations is
being given in the Gunnison Country Times on or about May 21, 1981, and May
28, 1981. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice
of Proposed Base Flood Elevation Determinations will be published in the Federal
Register.

Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234)
is intended to assure an equitable balancing of all the interests involved
in the setting of flood elevation determinations. The legislation provides
for an explicit process of notification and appeals for the community and
for private persons prior to this office making the final flood elevation
determinations. We have outlined the appeal procedure below for your information
at this time. The regulations developed by this agency to implement Section
110 may be found in Part 67 of Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Copies of the Act and Regulations are enclosed.
