~ i ... 3lS Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 93~08~157P The Honorable Robert Shulze Mayor, City of Broomfield Number six Garden Office Center P.O. Box 1415 Broomfield, Colorado 80038 Community: City of Broomfield, Colorado FIRM Panel No.: 085073 0220 D Effective Date of This Revision: JAH 25 1994 102-I Dear Mayor Shulze: This is in response 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 September 13, 1993, from Mr. Tim Doherty, Civil Engineer, City of Broomfield, regarding the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Broomfield, Colorado. Mr. Doherty requested that we revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of the relocation of the Nissen Reservoir No. 2 spillway and the construction of the Nissen Reservoir No. 2 Downstream Channel. All of the data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with Mr. Doherty's September 13 letter and with a letter dated October 29, 1993, from Mr. Charles A. McKnight, P.E., Sellards and Grigg, Inc. Because this Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) shows the effects of a publicly sponsored flood-control project that reduces flooding to existing development, fees were not assessed for the review. 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 floodplain boundary delineations and zone designations of a flood having a I-percent probability of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along the Nissen Reservoir No. 2 Downstream Channel. Due to the relocation of the Nissen Reservoir No. 2 spillway, the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) from just downstream of the intersection of Main Street and Miramonte Boulevard upstream to Nissen Reservoir No. 2 has been removed. In addition, the SFHA along the Nissen Reservoir No. 2 Downstream Channel, located approximately 700 feet west of Eagle Road, has been added to the FIRM from the confluence with Nissen Reservoir Channel upstream to Nissen Reservoir No.2. This increase in the SFHA is entirely contained within a City of Broomfield Drainage Easement.
