Dear Mayor Gilliland:

On May 19, 1998, you were notified of proposed mQdified flood elevation determinations affecting the Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Flood Boundary and Floodway Map (FBFM), and Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
report for the City of Loveland, Larimer County, Colorado. The statutory 90-day appeal period that was initiated
on June 9, 1998, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed base
flood elevations (BFEs) for your community in the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald, has elapsed.

FEMA received no valid requests for changes in the BFEs. Therefore, the determination of the Agency as to the
BFEs for your community is considered [mal. The final BFEs will be published in the Federal Register as soon
as possible. The modified BFEs and revised map panels, as referenced above, are effective as of March 23, 1999,
and revise the FIRM and FBFM that were in effect prior to that date. For insurance rating purposes, the
community number and new suffix code for the panels being revised are indicated above and on the maps and
must be used for all new policies and renewals.

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. Because of
the modifications to the FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report for your community made by this map revision, certain
additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the 1968 Act, as amended, within 6 months from the
date ofthis letter. Prior to March 23, 1999, your community is required, as a condition of continued eligibility
in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain
management regulations that meet the standards of Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. These standards are
the minimum requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature.

It must be emphasized that all of the standards specified in Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations must be
enacted in a legally enforceable document. This includes the adoption of the effective FIRM, FBFM, and FIS
report to which the regulations apply and the modifications made by this map revision. Some of the standards
should already have been enacted by your community. Any additional requirements can be met by taking one of
the following actions:

I. Amending existing regulations to incorporate any additional requirements of Section 60.3(d);
