Dear Mr. Freeman:
In a Letter of Map Revision (1.OMR) dated March 2, 2016. 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 Eaton Draw - from approximately 740 feet
downstream of 6th Avenue to approximately 710 feet upstream of County Road 68; and Eaton Draw Split
Flow - from the confluence with Eaton Draw to approximately 3.070 feet upstream. The 90 -day appeal
period that was initiated on March I6, 2016, when the Department of Homeland Security's Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FFMA) 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 July 14, 2016, 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) arc 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 can -v 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,
