The 1983 SCS study reflected the prior construction by the <br />SCS of flood control facilities for both Boxelder Creek and Coal Creek. <br /> <br />We request that CWCB staff review the Flood Insurance Study for designation and approval at <br />the CWCB's regular meeting scheduled for March 29-30, 1999, Subject to the findings of the <br />CWCB staff review, we request that the Colorado Water Conservation Board designate the <br />detailed floodplain information contained in the Flood Insurance Study revised October 20, <br />, 1998, We a!se request that the Co!oradc Water Conservation Boarci reaffirm the fact that the <br />detailed info.mation contained in the December 3, 1993 Flood Insurance Study for Coal Creek <br />does not reflect the effects of the flood control improvements constructed by the USDA Soil <br />Conservation Service on Coal Creek and is, therefore, invalid, Since the ] 993 Flood Insurance <br />Study has been superseded by the 1998 Flood Insurance Study, we request that the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board rescind the previous designation of the 1993 Flood Insurance Study, <br /> <br />Please call myself or Donald Irwin, Mayor. at (970) 568-3381 if you have any questions about <br />our request for designation and approvaL <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Kevin Burke <br />Town Admilllstrator <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />~~R 23 1999 <br /> <br />~ctt) "~MlSl <br />~1i"" Boord <br />
