Dear Mayor Sheehan:
In a Letter of Map Revision dated January 25, 2001, you were notified of proposed modified flood
elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study
(FIS) report for the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. These determinations were for Grapevine
Creek from Bethel Road to Southwestern Boulevard. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on
February 23, 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed
Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) in the Coppell Gazette, has elapsed.
FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the modified BFEs that
became effective on May 23, 2001, remain valid and revise the FIRM that was in effect prior to that date.
The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public
Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended
(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-
4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. The community number(s) and suffix code(s) are unaffected by this revision.
The community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as required under the above-mentioned Acts of
1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to
carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs 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 their contents.

If you have any questions regarding the necessary floodplain management measures for your community
or the NFIP in general, please contact the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denton, Texas, at
(940) 898-5127. If you have any questions regarding the LOMR, the proposed modified BFEs, or
mapping issues in general, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center, toll free, at 1-877-FEMA
MAP (1-877-336o2627).
Sincerely,
Matthew B. Miller, P.E., Chief
