I Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 SEP 06 1994 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IN REPLY REFER TO: Case No.: 93-08-l64P The Honorable Paul Tauer Mayor, City of Aurora 1470 South Havana Street, Eighth Floor Aurora, Colorado 80012-4090 Community: City of Aurora, Colorado Community No.: 080002 Map Panel Affected: 0020 D ll6-I-A Dear Mayor Tauer: On March 21, 1994, you were notified of proposed modified flood elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Aurora, Adams County, Colorado. These determinations were for Sable Ditch, from approximately 570 feet downstream of Sable Boulevard to approximately 360 feet upstream of Sable Boulevard. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on June 1, 1994, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed base (100-year) flood elevations (BFEs) for Sable Ditch in your community has elapsed. FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the determination as to the modified BFEs for your community is considered final. The modified BFEs that became effective on March 21, 1994, remain valid and revise the FIRM that was in effect prior to that date. The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. The community number(s} and suffix code(s} are unaffected by this revision. The community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above-mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all new buildings and their contents and for the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents.
