A representative of this office presented <br />the study at a public meeting to obtain comments from local government <br />officials and private citizens. Subsequent to the meeting, proposed <br />base flood elevations were published in the 10cal newspaper on May 21, <br />1981 and May 28, 1981. This second publication date initiated a 9o-day <br />appeals period. <br /> <br />During the appeals period, comments are received from interested parties <br />concerning discrepancies in base flood elevations. To refute the proposed <br />elevations, scientific or technical information must be presented that <br />shows the elevations to be incorrect. Drafting errors found on proposed <br />study maps may be corrected administratively and are not considered as <br />formal appeals. Please advise this office of any technical deficiencies <br />which may exist not later than August 28, 1981. <br /> <br />This 90-day appeals period provides an excellent opportunity for your <br />Board to initiate the floodplain study designation procedure required by <br />Colorado State Statute. Designation of the Flood Insurance Study at the <br />earliest possible date will ensure that the community may legally <br />enforce floodplain management regulations for the designated Special <br />Flood Hazard Areas and participate in the Regular Phase of the National <br />Flood Insurance Program. <br /> <br />Thank you for your interest in this Flood Insurance Study. <br />provide any information regarding the technical aspects of <br />please contact me at (303) 234-6582. <br /> <br />If we can <br />this study, <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />~~o-..~~ <br /> <br />~ohn Liou, Ph.D., P.E. <br />Hydrologist <br />Division of Insurance & Mitigation <br />
