Lang, P,E. <br />Chief, Flood Control and <br />Floodplain Management Section <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Mr., Lang: <br /> <br />As you know from our recent conversation, the Board <br />of County Commissioners declined to adopt the floodplain <br />designations contained in the Flood Insurance study, prepared <br />by the Federal Insurance Administration, because that study <br />contained a number of approximate designations for areas not <br />previously included in the floodplain designations. The <br />Commissioners have asked me to investigate the possibility <br />of having these approximate designations removed. They are <br />concerned about the approximate designations for a variety <br />of reasons, among them the burd~n on the landownet and pos- <br />~ible Count~ ,liabi]j...ty for-subiecting lan~oWI!er~ tQ tb~~,~..;..... <br />REocess without engineerin~ da~a to su~Po~~.~~~..~esign~.!:~~p~. <br /> <br />I have also sent a letter to the Federal Insurance <br />Administration asking that they review these approximate <br />designations. <br /> <br />Please feel free to call me if you have any questions <br />on this matter, <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />@~;d)~ <br /> <br />David L.
