The flood mapping study results will undergo review by city staff and the Peer Review Evaluation Panel (PREP) before submittal to the city’s Water Resources Advisory Board (WRAB) on December 18, 2006 and January 22, 2007. The WRAB will be asked to review and provide a recommendation for submitting the study to FEMA for approval. The city’s Planning Board will also be asked to review and provide a recommendation for submitting the study to FEMA for approval. Planning Board review is anticipated to occur in February 2007. Boulder County will also be asked to review the study for submittal to FEMA. City staff anticipates that the flood mapping study will be submitted to FEMA for review and approval in March 2007. The FEMA review period is expected to take 6-9 months. FEMA adoption of the new floodplain mapping is expected by the end of 2007.
