Box 1575 <br />Colorado Springs, Colorado 80901-1575 <br /> <br />Community: City of Colorado Springs, <br />Colorado <br />Community No.: 080060 <br />Panel Affected: 08041C0503 F <br />Effective Date of <br />This Revision: AUG201997 <br /> <br />102-D-A <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Makepeace: <br /> <br />This responds to a request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revise the effective <br />Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Sto dy (FIS) report for EI Paso County, Colorado and <br />Incorporated Areas (the effective FIRM and FIS report for your community), in accordance with Part 65 of <br />the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations, In a letter dated April 25, 1997, Mr. Dan Bunting, <br />Regional Floodplain Administrator, Regional Building Department, requested that FEMA revise the FIRM <br />and PIS report to show the effects of construction of an underground pipe along Dry Creek, from <br />approximately 700 feet upstream to approximately 2,200 feet upstream of Hoodoo Drive. This request follows <br />up on a Conditional Letter of Map Revision issued on August 5, 1996, <br /> <br />All data required to complete our review of this request were submitted with letters from Mr. Bunting. <br /> <br />We have completed our review of the submitted data and the flood data shown on the effective FIRM and FIS <br />report. We have revised the FIRM and FIS report to modify the elevations and floodplain boundary <br />delineations of the flood having a I-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood) <br />along Dry Creek. As a result of the modifications, the base flood elevations (BFEs) for Dry Creek decreased <br />and the width of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area that would be inundated by the base flood, <br />decreased. The base flood is contained in the underground pipe. The modifications are shown on the enclosed <br />annotated copy of FIRM Panel(s) 08041C0503 F and Profile Panel(s) 54P and 55P. This Letter of Map <br />Revision (LOMR) hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected <br />portions of the PIS report, both dated March 17, 1997. <br /> <br />The moditications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified <br />by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community, <br />
