<br />Dear Mayor Del Piccolo:
<br />
<br />This is to formally notify you of the final flood elevation determination for the Town of Silverthorne,
<br />Summit County, Colorado, in compliance with Title 44, Chapter I, Part 67, Section 67,11, Code of
<br />Federal Regulations (CFR), This section requires that notice of final flood elevations shall be sent to the
<br />Chief Executive Officer of the community, all individual appellants, and the State Coordinating Agency,
<br />and shall be published in the Federal Register,
<br />
<br />On May I, 1980, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Flood Insurance Rate
<br />Map (FIRM) that identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in your community, Recently,
<br />FEMA completed are-evaluation of flood hazards in your community, On March 22, 2000, FEMA
<br />provided you with Preliminary copies of the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report and FIRM that identify
<br />existing flood hazards in your community, including elevations of the flood having a I-percent chance of
<br />being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood), The proposed Base Flood Elevations (BFEs)
<br />for your community were published in the Summit Daily News on August 18 and August 25,2000, and in
<br />the Federal Register, at 65 FR68963, on November 15,2000,
<br />
<br />We received no formal appeals of the BFEs for your community within the 90-day appeal period,
<br />However, in a letter dated November 23, 2000, Mr, Daniel Gietzen, Town Engineer, Town of
<br />Silverthorne, provided summary comments concerning possible corrections to the Preliminary FIRMs,
<br />After reviewing the comments, we will incorporate into the maps prior to final printing the changes as
<br />described on the enclosed "Summary of Community Comments,"
<br />
<br />The statutory 90-day appeal period, which was initiated on the second newspaper publication date cited
<br />above, has ended, FEMA did not receive any appeals of the proposed BFEs during that time,
<br />Accordingly, the BFEs for your community are considered final. The final rule for BFEs will be
<br />published in the Federal Register as soon as possible, The FIRM for your community will become
<br />effective on August 9, 2001. Before the effective date, FEMA will send you final printed copies of the
<br />FIS report and FIRM,
<br />
<br />Because the FIS establishing the BFEs for your community has been completed, certain additional
<br />requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
<br />within 6 months from the date of this letter. Prior to August 9,2001, your community is required, as a
