<br />2 <br /> <br />Because this revision request also affects the Cities of Englewood and Littleton and the unincorporated <br />areas of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, separate WMRs for those conununities were issued on the same <br />date as this LOMR. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Existing BFE <br />(feet)* <br /> <br />Modified BFE <br />(feet)* <br /> <br />Approximately 1,200 feet upstream of <br />West Littleton Boulevard <br /> <br />5,424 <br /> <br />5,423 <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br /> <br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in The Villager on or about March 23 and <br />March 30, 2000. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be published <br />in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in The Villager, a citizen may request <br />that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for reconsideration must be <br />based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 9O-day period <br />elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. This <br />WMR will become effective after the 9O-day appeal period elapses. The map panel(s) as listed above and <br />as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your <br />conununity . <br /> <br />Because this WMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your conununity will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to <br />disseminate the information reflected by this WMR throughout the conununity, so that interested persons, <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your conununity' s local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your conununity will give to interested persous <br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your conununity to reflect the <br />modifications made by this WMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modificatious <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your conununity as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the <br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to <br />your conununity and adopted by appropriate conununity action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the <br />NFIP regulatious. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP.
