Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No,: 96-08-328P The Honorable Robert Isaac Mayor, City of Colorado Springs P,O. Box 1575 Colorado Springs, Colorado 80901 Community: City of Colorado Springs, Colorado Community No,: 080060 Panel Affected: 0134 C Effective Date of This Revision: SEP 171996 102-D Dear Mayor Isaac: This responds to a request for a revision to the effective Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map for your community. Specifically, this responds to a letter dated July 23, 1996, from Mr. Dan Bunting, Regional Floodplain Administrator, Regional Building Department, regarding the effective FIS report and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Mr, Bunting requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of construction of an underground pipe along Dry Creek from approximately 400 feet upstream to approximately 1,200 feet upstream of the intersection of Orchard Path Road and Orchard Valley Road, This request follows up on a Conditional Letter of Map Revision, which was issued on August 5, 1996. All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with Mr, Bunting's July 23 letter and a letter dated August 14, 1996, from Mr. Steve Rossoll, JR Engineering, Ltd. We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM, and have revised the FIRM to modify the elevations and floodplain boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Dry Creek from approximately 400 feet upstream to approximately 1,200 feet upstream of the intersection of Orchard Path Road and Orchard Valley Road, Along the revised reach of Dry Creek, the base flood discharge is contained in an underground pipe approximately 800 feet long, The new underground pipe connects to an existing underground pipe that carries the base flood discharge to the storm water detention pond southeast of the intersection of Orchard Valley Road and Woodmen Road. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0134 C and Prof11e Panel3lP, This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM dated March 2, 1989, and the Flood Profile in the FIS report dated August 16, 1995.
