<br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Washington, D.C. 20472 RECEIVED <br /> <br />MAR 1 0 2003 <br /> <br />MAR 0 7 2003 <br /> <br />CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br /> <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />Case No.: 02-08-368P <br /> <br />Colorado Water Conservation 80am <br /> <br />The Honorable Richard M. Sheehan <br />Chairman, Jefferson County <br />Board of Commissioners <br />100 Jefferson County Parkway <br />Golden, CO 80419 <br /> <br />Community: Jefferson County, CO <br />Community No.: 080087 <br />Map Panel Affected: 0270 B and 0290 B <br /> <br />116 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Sheehan: <br /> <br />In a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) dated August 28, 2002, your community was notified of proposed <br />modified flood elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood <br />Insurance Study (FIS) report for the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, Colorado. These <br />determinations were for the Weaver Creek from just downstream of West Quincy Avenue to <br />approximately400 feet upstream of South Simms Street. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on <br />November 27,2002, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of <br />proposed Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) in the Canyon Courier, has elapsed. <br /> <br />FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the modified BFEs that <br />became effective on December 25,2002, remain valid and revise the FIRM and FIS that was in effect <br />prior to that date. <br /> <br />The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), <br />42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. The community numbers and suffix codes are unaffected by <br />this revision. The community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the <br />National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your <br />community. <br /> <br />FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above-mentioned Acts of <br />1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to <br />carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to <br />calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all new buildings and their contents and for <br />the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents. <br />
