<br />, , <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br />". <br /> <br />DETAILED EXPLANATION: <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Study for the Town of Breckenridge has been <br />delayed because of alterations to floodplain topography in several <br />locations which affects flood elevations and flood boundaries as <br />published in the existing report, Breckenridge Flood Plain Inform- <br />ation, 1975. <br /> <br />Robert Shaw, Federal Insurance Administration CCO for Breckenridge, <br />visited the site with Tom Stone and Pat Mulhern of Gingery Associates, <br />on June 9, 1978. A brief tour of the floodplain showed three (3) <br />areas of altered topography which collectively extend along 25 percent <br />of the Blue River stream length within the corporate limits. These <br />were obvious areas of channel cut and fill; further changes may <br />be revealed by detailed cross-sectioning. In addition, construction <br />activity was noted within the floodplain boundary. <br /> <br />The conclusion during this visit was that the floodplain information <br />on the Blue River through Breckenridge no longer reflects current <br />floodplain elevations and floodplain boundaries. Since the RFP for <br />this contract, H-4549, indicates use of the existing floodplain report <br />except in areas impacted by construction of new street crossings, <br />the special problem of providing the Town of Breckenridge \0' i U, <br />current information for their Flood Insurance Study should be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />
