Dear Mayor Isaac:

This is in response to a request for a revision to the effective Flood
Insurance Study (FIS) and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map for
your community. Specifically, this responds to a letter dated June 6, 1994,
from Mr. David M. Frick, Ph.D., P.E., Regional Vice President, Resource
Consultants & Engineers, regarding the effective FIS report and Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Mr. Frick requested that we revise the effective FIRM to show the effects of

Gap South Overflow, from its confluence with Templeton Gap Floodway to
approximately 600 feet upstream, and the installation of culverts at Wesley
Circle and Van Teylingen Drive. Detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
were performed to evaluate the effects of the improvements. As a result of
the above-mentioned improvements, a portion of the Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA),. previously designated as Zone AH on the effective FIRM, has been
