<br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Washington, D.C. 20472 <br /> <br />DEe 1 5 2000 <br /> <br />CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br /> <br />IN REPLY REFER TO: <br />Case No.: 99-08-352P <br /> <br />The Honorable Barbara Kirkmeyer <br />Chairperson, Weld County <br />Board of Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 758 <br />Greeley, CO 80632-0758 <br /> <br />Community: Weld County, CO <br />Community No.: 080266 <br />FIRM Panel Affected: 0605 D <br />FBFM Panel Affected: 0001 <br /> <br />116 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Kirkmeyer: <br /> <br />In a Letter of Map Revision dated August 11,2000, you were notified of proposed modified flood <br />elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the unincorporated areas of <br />Weld County, Colorado. These determinations were for the Cache La Poudre River from approximately <br />500 feet upstream to approximately 3,000 feet upstream of the corrected alignment of County Road 17. <br />The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on September 7, 2000, when the Federal Emergency <br />Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) in the <br />Greeley Daily Tribune, has elapsed. <br /> <br />FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the determination as to <br />the modified BFEs for your community is considered final. The modified BFEs and Letter of Map <br />Revision, referenced above, became effective on December 6, 2000, remain valid and revise the FIRM <br />that was in effect prior to that date. <br /> <br />The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public <br />Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001- <br />4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. The community number(s) and suffix code(s) are unaffected by this revision. <br />The community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above-mentioned Acts of <br />1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to <br />carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to <br />calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all new buildings and their contents and for <br />the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents. <br />
