Walcher <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />Rod Kuharich <br />CWCB Director <br /> <br />Dan McAuliffe <br />Deputy Director <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Webster: <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), at its regular meeting in November 2000 <br />approved the enclosed report and floodplain resolution designating the floodplain information <br />contained in the report entitled "Flood Insurance Study, Boulder County, Colorado and <br />Incorporated Areas" dated June 2, 1995 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. <br /> <br />Formal action on floodplain information by the Board informs local jurisdictions that their <br />floodplain information is in compliance with the provisions and requirements of the State of <br />Colorado's "Rules and Regulations for the Designation and Approval of Floodplains and or <br />Storm or Floodwater Runoff Channels in Colorado." This action enhances and strengthens a <br />community's ability to regulate land uses within their jurisdiction if they so choose. <br /> <br />The CWCB coordinates the flood control and floodplain management activities and programs <br />for the State and is the State Coordinator for the National Flood Insurance Program. We urge <br />local jurisdictions to continue utilizing floodplain zoning and land use regulations to prevent <br />unwise development within flood prone areas of the community. Our office would be happy to <br />assist you with any floodplain related issues that you may have. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this matter, or if we can be of further assistance, please <br />don't hesitate to call me at (303) 866-3441. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />.
