Re:
Case #88-06-13R - Denton Tap Rd. Bridge Replacement
Dear Mr. Lindsey:
This letter is to serve as certification by the City of Coppell
that the bridge replacement project for Denton Tap Road at
Grapevine Creek meets the fee exemption requirements of Section
72.5 .of the National FlOod insurance Program regulations. As
mentioned in our October 13, 1987 letter to Ms. Maryetta
Cunningham of FEMA, this project is part of a City of Coppell
Capital Improvement Program project, and therefore is "for the
public benefit and primarily intended for flood loss reduction to
existing development in identified flood hazard areas, as opposed
to planned floodplain development".
Please begin processing our request for a Letter of Conditional
Map Revision as soon as possible. If you have any further
questions, please call us.

Case 988-06-13R
Dear Mr. Karlsruher:
This is in response to your October 13, 1987 letter, which was forwarded to us
by our Region VI office. In your letter, you requested that the City of
Coppell's proposed bridge replacement project at Denton Tap Road be exempted
from the fees associated with the review of a project of this type. The
review of this project was initially requested by a September 23, 1987 letter
from Mr. H. Wayne Ginn, P.E., City Engineer for the City of Coppell. 'The
initial fee for a request of this type is $525.00. Please note that Section
72.5 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations states that.- "Federal,
State, and local governments and their agencies shall be exempt from fees for
projects they sponsor if the requestor certifies that the particular project
is for public benefit and primarily intended for flood loss reduction to
existing development in identified flood hazard areas, as opposed to planned
floodplain development." Therefore,. the Denton Tap Road bridge replacement
project must meet these criteria to be exempt frem the reimbursement procedures.
In order for FEMA to begin processing this request, we must receive either the
appropriate certification or the initial fee, forwarded to the following
