Dear Mr. Conway:
IN REPLY REFER TO:
Case No.: 11-08-1090P
WELD
Community Name: Weld County, Cer",411/9S io eio
Community No.: 080266
FIRM Panel Affected: 0802660850C

In a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) dated November 8, 2012, you were notified of proposed flood
hazard determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
report for Weld County, CO. These determinations were for Boulder Creek - from approximately 2,250
feet upstream of County Road 16.5 to just downstream of County Road 1; and Boulder Creek Turnpike -
from the confluence with Boulder Creek to the divergence from Boulder Creek. The 90 -day appeal
period that was initiated on November 23, 2012, when the Department of Homeland Security's Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed Flood Hazard Determinations
in The Greeley Tribune has elapsed.
FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified flood hazard" information. Therefore, the
modified flood hazard information for your community that became effective on March 25, 2013, remains
valid and revises the FIRM and FIS report that were in effect prior to that date.
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. The community number(s) and suffix code(s) are unaffected by this
revision. The community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your
community.
FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above -mentioned Acts of
1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified flood
hazard information to carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified flood
hazard information will also be used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for all
new buildings and their contents and for the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their
contents.
If you have any questions regarding the necessary floodplain management measures for your community
or the NFIP in general, please contact the Mitigation Division Director, FEMA Region VIII, in Denver,
Colorado, either by telephone at (303) 235-4800, or in writing at Denver Federal Center, Building 710,
Box 25267, Denver, Colorado, 80225-0267.
