<br />2 <br /> <br />upstream of its confluence with Newlin Gulch and at the Lincoln Avenue and <br />Jordan Road crossing. <br /> <br />In addition, the FIRM has been revised to reflect modified elevations and <br />floodplain and floodway boundaries of a flood having a I-percent probability <br />of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along Newlin <br />Gulch from its confluence with Cherry Creek to approximately 2,150 feet <br />upstream of Jordan Road. The base (lOO-year) flood elevations (BFEs) have <br />increased a maximum of 5 feet over the effective BFEs of which approximately <br />4.9 feet are due to the more detailed data and 0.1 foot is due to the <br />construction of the diversion channel. The BFE increases are from <br />approximately 1,000 feet upstream of the confluence with Cherry Creek to <br />approximately 2,000 feet upstream of Jordan Road. The SFHA has both <br />increased and decreased along the revised reach because of the BFE increases. <br />Note that the Town of Parker is affected by the BFE and SFHA increases from <br />just downstream of Lincoln Avenue to just upstream of Lincoln Avenue and from <br />just downstream of Jordan Road to just upstream of Jordan Road. The BFE and <br />SFHA increases are not all contained on the requester's property. <br /> <br />The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel <br />0070 D, Profile Panels 73P and 74P, and the Floodway Data Table for Douglas <br />County, Colorado. This LOMR hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM <br />and the Flood Profiles and Floodway Data Table in the FIS report dated <br />March 15, 1993. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br /> Exi sting BFE Modified BFE <br />Location (feet)* (feet)* <br />Approximately 900 feet upstream of the <br />confluence with Cherry Creek 5,781 5,781 <br />Just downstream of Lincoln Avenue 5,803 5,807 <br />Just upstream of Lincoln Avenue 5,804 5,808 <br />Just downstream of Jordan Road 5,815 5,820 <br />Just upstream of Jordan Road 5,819 5,821 <br />Approximately 2,150 feet upstream of <br />Jordan Road 5,835 5,835 <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest <br />whole foot <br /> <br />Public notification of the revised BFEs will be given in the Douglas County <br />Dailv News-Press on or about September 14 and September 21, 1994. A copy of <br />this notification is enclosed. Any request for reconsideration must be based <br />on scientific or technical data. In addition, a notice of changes will be <br />published in the Federal Register. We encourage you to supplement this <br />notification by preparing an article for publication in your community <br />newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and <br />the assistance your community will give in providing data and interpreting <br />the NFIP maps. Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to <br />primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your <br />community will serve as a repository for the new data. <br />
