<br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Washington, D.C. 20472 <br /> <br />CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br /> <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />Case No.: 93-08~153P <br /> <br />The Honorable Robert M. Isaac <br />Mayor, City of Colorado Springs <br />P.O. Box 1575 <br />Colorado Springs, Colorado 80901 <br /> <br />Community: City of Colorado <br />Springs, Colorado <br />Community Panel Nos.: 080060 0134 C, <br />0145 C, 0153 C, <br />0161 C <br />Effective Date of ,JAu" 4' 199.1, <br />This Revision: ." ~ 't <br /> <br />102-D <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Isaac: <br /> <br />This is in response to a request for a revision to the effective Flood <br />Insurance Study and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map for your <br />community. Specifically, this responds to a letter dated September 7, 1993, <br />from Mr. Dan Bunting, Regional Floodplain Administrator, regarding the <br />effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Colorado Springs, <br />Colorado. Mr. Bunting requested that we revise the effective FIRM to show <br />the effects of extending a storm drain system with 42- and 48-inch-diameter <br />reinforced-concrete culverts along Wilson Road southward, outfalling at <br />Douglas Creek North. <br /> <br />All of the data required to complete our review of this request were <br />submitted by Mr. Bunting with his letters dated September 7 and October 19, <br />1993, and by Mr. Richard I. Harvey, P.E., JR Engineering, Ltd., with his <br />letters dated October 8 and November 30, 1993, and his transmittals dated <br />November 1 and 15, 1993. All fees necessary to process this Letter of Map <br />Revision (LOMa), a total of $3,010, have been received. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown <br />on the effective FIRM, and have revised the FIRM to modify the floodplain <br />boundary delineations and zone designations of a flood having a l-percent <br />probability of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) along <br />the unnamed tributary to Douglas Creek North, from just downstream of <br />Allegheny Drive to the confluence with Douglas Creek North, for a total <br />distance of approximately 0.47 mile. The base (lOO-year) flood discharge <br />will be contained in the recently constructed 42- and 48-inch-diameter <br />reinforced-concrete culverts. Special Flood Hazard Areas are decreasing <br />along the entire reach. In addition, the alignment of Wilson Road was <br />adjusted on the FIRM. <br />
