In a letter dated June 5, 1998, Mr. Robert Locken, <br />JR Engineering, Ltd., requested that FEMA revise the FIRM to show the effects of a grading and channel <br />modification project along Massey Draw. This request follows up on a Conditional Letter of Map Revision <br />issued on July 21, 1995. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Locken and <br />Mr. James P. Fitzmorris, P.E., Division Manager, also with JR Engineering, Ltd. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM. We <br />have revised the FIRM to modify the floodplain boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent <br />chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Massey Draw from just upstream <br />to approximately 6,050 feet upstream of South Kipling Parkway. As a result of the modifications, the <br />width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, for <br />the revised reach decreased. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM <br />Panel(s) 0360 B, 0380 C, and 0390 B. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises effective <br />FIRM Panels 0360 Band 0390 B dated August 5, 1986, and Panel 0380 C dated July 4, 1989. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />A review of the determination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be <br />made within 30 days. Any request to alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data. <br /> <br />Weare preparing a revised FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for Jefferson County in our <br />countywide format; therefore, we will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for <br />your community to incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at this time.
