The FIRM and FrS report for Jefferson County, Colorado and Incorporated Areas dated June 17, 2003, is
the effective FIRM and FIS report for your community. However, the area in the City of Westminster
affected by this revision is located within the area of FIRM Panel 08059C0209 E, which currently is
designated as a "Panel Not Printed - All Zone X." Therefore, please use the revised Adams County FIRM
and FIS report enclosures for floodplain management purposes in this area. When changes to the
previously cited Jefferson County FIRM panel and FIS report warrant physical revision and
republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR and publish FIRM
Panel 08059C0209 E at that time.

Because this revision request also affects the unincorporated areas of Adams County, a separate LOMR for
that community was issued on the same date as this LOMR;

The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified
by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.

The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:

Existing BFE
Location (feet)*

Modified BFE
(feet)*

· Approximately 200 feet downstream of Federal Boulevard 5,246

5,239

*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot
· Also affects the unincorporated areas of Adams County

Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Brighton Standard-Blade on or
about June 23 and June 30, 2004. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes
will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the Brighton
Standard-Blade, any interested party may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this
LOMR. Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested
parties are on notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the detennination to modify the BFEs made by
this LOMR may itself be modified.

Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and
mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to
disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons,
such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information.
We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper.
1ms article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons
by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps.

We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel and FIS
report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made
by this LOMR at that time.
