The 100-year floodplain boundary along Boulder Creek has been revised to
reflect the data presented in the Love & Associates, Inc. report and drawings
referenced above. This LOMR hereby amends the currently effective FIRM Panel
080024 0185 D, dated August 4, 1988.

A physical revision to FIRM Panel 080024 0185 D is currently being processed
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in order to incorporate
flood information along Gregory Creek. The aforementioned revisions will be
incorporated into this physical revision.

This modification has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) and is in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, P.L. 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR, Part
65.

As required by the legislation, a community must adopt and enforce floodplain
management measures to ensure continued eligibility to participate in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Therefore, your community must
enforce these regulations using, at a minimum, the base (lOO-year) flood
elevations and zone designations in the Special Flood Hazard Areas as shown on
the FIRM and Flood Boundary and Floodway Map for your community, including the
aforementioned floodplain boundary.

This response to your request is based on minimum floodplain management
criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for
approving all proposed floodplain developments, including this request, and
for assuring that necessary permits required by Federal or state law have been
received. State and community officials, based on knowledge of local
conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for
construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State of
Colorado or the City of Boulder has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive
floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the
minimum NFIP requirements.

The community number and suffix code listed above will be used for all flood
insurance policies and renewals issued for your community on and after the
effective date listed above.

The revised floodplain boundary is effective as of the date of this letter.
However, a review of the floodplain boundaries and any requests for changes
should be made within 30 days. Any request for reconsideration must be based
on scientific or technical data.
