This LOMR is being issued to more accurately show on the FIRM the boundary delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood), the flood having a 0.2-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year, and the regulatory floodway along Bear Canyon Creek from just downstream of Stanford A venue to Lehigh Street, as shown on the submitted topographic work maps entitled "City of Boulder, Colorado Bear Canyon Creek" (Sheets 6 and 7), prepared by Love & Associates, Inc., dated February 2002. We have revised the FIRM to modifY the alignments of the floodplain and floodway boundary delineations of the base flood along the above-referenced reach of Bear Canyon Creek with respect to the roads.

The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 08013C0535 F. This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel of the effective FIRM dated June 2, 1995. The modifications are effective as of the date shown above.

A review of the determination made by this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be made within 30 days. Any request to alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data.
