"""''''''''''r--, <br />, <br /> <br />JUN 4 1981 <br /> <br />Mr. Eugene Jencsok <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />State Centennial Building, Room 823 <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />CONSERVATION <br />Bo-dRQ <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Jencsok: <br /> <br />A Flood Insurance Study was recently completed for the City of Monte <br />Vista, Colorado. A representative of this office presented the study at <br />a public meeting to obtain comments from local government officials and <br />private citi2ens. Subsequent to the meeting, proposed base flood elevations <br />were published in the local newspaper on May 20, 1981 and May 27, 1981. <br />This second publication date initiated a 90-day 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 27, 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 enforce <br />floodplain management regulations for the designated Special Flood <br />Hazard Areas and participate in the Regular Phase of the National Flood <br />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 <br /> <br /> <br />ohn Liou, Ph.D., P.E. <br />Hydrologist <br />Division of Insurance & Mitigation <br />
