The Honorable Lou Duggan
Mayor of the City of Coppell
Denton County
P.O. Box 478
Coppell, Texas 75019
Dear Mayor Duggan:
IN REPLY REFER TO:
IA-RA-RS (116)
On September 24, 1987, you were notified of proposed modified base flood
elevations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FI~4) for the City of
Coppell, Denton County, Texas. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on
October 16, 1987, when the Federal ~ergency Management Agency published a
notification of proposed base flood elevation determinations for the City
of Coppell, in the Citizens' Advocate, has elapsed.
The Agency has received no valid requests for changes in the modified base
flood elevation determinations. Therefore, the modifications specifically
noted in our letter to you of September 24, 1987, are considered effective.
This action has the effect of amending the community's current FIRM, dated
February 15, 1984, for both flood plain management and flood insurance purposes.
These changes will not appear on the community's FIRM until the next physical
map revision.
The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insur-
ance Act of 1968, as amended, (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development
Act of 1968, P.L. 90-448) 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. For in-
surance rating purposes, the community number is 480170 C and must be used for
all new policies and renewals.
Under the above-mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973, the Agency must develop
criteria for floodplain management. In order for the community to continue
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, the community must use
the modified base flood elevations to carry out the floodplain management
measures of the Program. These modified base flood elevations 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 contents.
If you have any questions, please contact your Consultation Coordination
Officer, Mr. Alton S. Ray, Natural and Technological Hazards Division of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency in Denton, Texas, at (817) 898-9127.
Sincerely,
John L. Matticks ~
Chief, Risk Studies Division
Federal Insurance Administration
