CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED RECEIVED
Barbara Kirkmeyer DEC 1 1 2015
Chairperson, Board of Commissioners
Weld County WELD COUNTY
Post Office Box 758 COMMISSIONERS
Greeley, Colorado 80632
Dear Ms. Kirkmeyer:
I am writing this letter as an official reminder that Weld County, Colorado, has until
January 20, 2016,to adopt and have the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Regional Office approve floodplain management measures that
satisfy 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 60.3(d) of the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) regulations.
Weld County must adopt floodplain management measures, such as a floodplain management
ordinance, that meet or exceed the minimum NFIP requirements (copy enclosed) by
January 20, 2016, to avoid suspension from the NFIP. If suspended, your community becomes
ineligible for flood insurance through the NFIP, new insurance policies cannot be sold, and existing
policies cannot be renewed.
Under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance must be purchased by
property owners seeking any Federal financial assistance for construction or acquisition of buildings
in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). This financial assistance includes certain federally
guaranteed mortgages and direct loans, federal disaster relief loans and grants, as well as other
similarly described assistance from FEMA and other agencies.
In addition, all loans individuals obtain from Federally regulated, supervised, or insured lending
institutions that are secured by improved real estate located in SFHAs are also contingent upon the
borrower obtaining flood insurance coverage on the building. However, purchasing and maintaining
flood insurance coverage on a voluntary basis is frequently recommended for properties located
outside SFHAs.
Your NFIP State Coordinator and FEMA would like to assist Weld County to ensure it remains in
good standing with the NFIP and avoids suspension from the Program. If your community is
suspended, it may regain its eligibility in the NFIP by enacting the floodplain management measures
established in 44 CFR Section 60.3 of the NFIP regulations. As stated in my previous
correspondence, I recommend you contact your NFIP State Coordinator or the FEMA Regional
Office if Weld County is encountering difficulties in enacting its measures.

I recognize that your community may be in the final adoption process or may have recently adopted
the appropriate floodplain management measures. Please submit these measures to the Floodplain
Management Program at the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Jamie Prochno, P.E., CFM,the
NFIP State Coordinator, is accessible by telephone at(303) 866-3441, in writing at
1313 Sherman Street, Room 718,Denver, Colorado 80203, or by electronic mail at
jamie.prochno@state.co.us.
The FEMA Regional staff in Denver, Colorado, is also available to assist you with your floodplain
management measures. The FEMA Regional Office may be contacted by telephone at
(303)235-4800 or in writing. Please send your written inquiries to the Director,Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Division,FEMA Region VIII, at the Denver Federal Center,Building 710,
Box 25267,Denver, Colorado 80225.
In the event your community does not adopt and/or submit the necessary floodplain management
measures that meet or exceed the minimum NFIP requirements,I must take the necessary steps to
suspend your community from the NFIP. This letter is FEMA's final notification before your
community is suspended from the Program.
Sincerely, /)
