Dear Mr. Heck:

On August 15, 1977 the Federal Insurance Administrator advised you
that regulatory flood elevations within the City of Con~erce City,
Colorado had been established as the result of a Flood Insurance
Study conducted for your community. The letter also stated that as
a condition of participation in the National Flood Insurance Program,
it is necessary for the City of Commerce City to adopt legally en-
forceable flood plain regulations not later than six months from the
date of that letter, Therefore, the City of Commerce City needs to
adopt flood plain management regulations which meet the minimum Federal
criteria established in Section 1910 of the October 26, 1976 Federal
Register not later than February 15, 1978.

The purpose of this letter is to offer the assistance of the Denver
Office of the Federal Insurance Administration. Mr. Douglas Gore, who
is a flood Plain Management Specialist, has extensive experience in
interpreting the Federal regulations and explaining the elements of the
Flood Insurance Study. He would be pleased to discuss 'the Flood Insurance
Program and community responsibilities at your earliest convenience. You
may telephone him at 837-5041 or send a letter to our office in Denver,
Color8do.
