Ward <br />Chairperson, Arapahoe County <br />Board of Commissioners <br />5334 South Prince Street <br />Littleton, CO SO 166-0060 <br /> <br />Community: ~3pahoeCounty,J;;0Iora4o <br />Community No.: OSOOll <br />Panel Affected: ~QQ5e0435'lff <br />En:ective.I?ate of APR 0 11999 <br />This ReVISIOn: <br /> <br />102-I-A-C <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ward: <br /> <br />This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for Arapahoe County, Colorado <br />and Incorporated Areas (the effective FIRM and FIS report for your community), in accordance with <br />Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. In a letter dated October 20, 1995, <br />Mr. O. Robert Deeds, P.E., Floodplain Administrator, City of Littleton, requested that FEMA revise the <br />FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of channelization, levee improvements, and construction of a <br />grouted boulder-drop structure along SJCD 6200. This request follows up on a Conditional Letter of Map <br />Revision issued on October 6, 1995. <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. William E. <br />Payne, P.E., William E. Payne & Associates, Inc.; Mr. Jack Kaufman, Polo Reserve; and Mr. Deeds. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and <br />FIS report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and floodplain boundary <br />delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base <br />flood) along SJCD 6200 in the vicinity of Nevada Ditch and West Mineral Avenue. As a result of the <br />modifications, the base flood elevations (BFEs) for the revised reach increased and the width of the Special <br />Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, increased in some areas <br />and decreased in other areas. The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM <br />Panel(s) OS005C0435 J and Profile Panel(s) 190P. This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises <br />the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated <br />August 16, 1995. <br /> <br />Because this revision request also affects the City of Littleton, a separate LOMR for that community was <br />issued on the same date as this LOMR. <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />Because the modified BFEs rounded to the nearest whole foot do not differ from the effective BFEs, they <br />will not be published in your community's local newspaper or in the Federal Register. <br />
