<br />Dear Mayor Moss:
<br />
<br />This responds to a request that the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management
<br />Agency (FEMA) revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
<br />report for Jefferson County, Colorado and Incorporated Areas (the effective FIRM and FIS report for your
<br />community), in accordance with Part 65 of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations, In a
<br />letter dated May 27,2003, Mr. David W, Loseman, P,E" L.S" Senior Projects Engineer, Floodplain
<br />Manager, Department of Community Development, City of Westminster, requested that FEMA revise the
<br />FIRM and FIS report to show the effects of channel modifications, including a low-water pedestrian trail
<br />crossing and channel grading, along Airport Creek from Eaton Street upstream to I 12th Avenue,
<br />
<br />AIl'data'required.to-complete,our.review_of.this_request were submitted with letters from Mr, Brian E.
<br />Chevalier, P,E" McLaughlin Water Engineers, Ltd., and Mr, Loseman,
<br />
<br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and
<br />in the effective FIS report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and
<br />floodplain and floodway boundary delineations of the flood having a I -percent chance of being equaled or
<br />exceeded in any given year (base flood) through the revised reach of Airport Creek. As a result of the
<br />modifications, the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and the widths of the Special Flood Hazard Area
<br />(SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, and the regulatoI)' floodway for Airport Creek
<br />increased in some areas and decreased in other areas, The modifications are shown on the enclosed
<br />annotated copies of FIRM Panels 08059C0089 E and 08059C0093 E, Profile Panels OIP and 02P, and
<br />affected portions of the Floodway Data Table, This Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the
<br />above-referenced panels of the effective FIRM and the affected portions of the FIS report, both dated
<br />June 17, 2003,
<br />
<br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above, The map panels as listed above and as
<br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your
<br />community,
<br />
<br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs:
