In a Letter. of Map Revision (LOMR) dated December 15, 2017, 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 John Law Ditch - From the downstream side
of the C and S Railroad to approximately 80 feet downstream of the Great Western Railroad; John Law -
West Tributary - From the confluence with John Law Ditch to the upstream side of State Highway 19;
Greeley Canal No. 2- From approximately 350 feet downstream of State Highway 392 to the divergence
from John Law Ditch; John Law - SH 392 Overflow - From the confluence with John Law - West
Tributary to the divergence from John Law Ditch; and John Law Ditch - Colorado and Southern Railroad
Flow Path - From approximately 750 feet downstream of the divergence from John Law Ditch to the
divergence from John Law Ditch . The 90 -day appeal period that was initiated on December 29, 2017,
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 April 30, 2018, 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
196.8 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.
