Dear Mayor Martinez:

In a Letter of Map Revision dated December 22, 1999, you were notified of proposed modified flood
elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
report for the City of Fort Collins, in Larimer, Colorado. These determinations were along the Cache La
Poudre River from just upstream of Prospect Road to just upstream of Lemay Avenue and along Cache La
Poudre LP A TII from just upstream of Prospect Road to the point where it diverges from the Cache La
Poudre River just downstream of the Timberling Road Extension. The 90-day appeal period that was
initiated on February 2, 2000, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a
notice of proposed base flood elevations (BFEs) in the The Coloradoan, has elapsed.

FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the modified BFEs that
became effective on December 22, 1999, remain valid and revise the FIRM and FIS report that were in effect
prior to that date.

The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-
234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part
65. The community number(s) and suffix code(s) are unaffected by this revision. The community number
and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.

FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above-mentioned Acts of
1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to carry
out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to calculate
the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all new buildings and their contents and for the second
layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents.
