Re: MacArthur Boulevard Floodplain Information
Dear Ms. Daneshmond:
You will recall our earlier conversation regarding our concerns that the MacArthur
Blvd. construction may impact the floodway of Denton Creek, and therefore cause
problems with FEMA approvals.
To clear up the matter we had a conversation with John Karlsruher of Ginn, Inc. and
he suggested we contact Matt Miller of FEMA Headquarters to obtain a ruling on this
matter. We contacted Mr. Miller and discussed the project with him. Mr. Miller
agreed that if we submit MacArthur Blvd. as two separate projects, one for the
bridge and one for the roadway, and we can show that the bridge causes no increase
in flood levels, FEMA would accept this.
This FEMA ruling cleans up the matter. However, we stress the importance that any
submittals that address MacArthur Blvd. in the future must carefully distinguish the
bridge and the roadway as two separate projects.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
