Honorable Andrew Brown, Jr.
Mayor of Coppell
P.O. Box 478
Coppell, Texas 75019
Dear Mayor Brown:
On April 28, 1983, you were notified of proposed modified flood elevation
determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), Flood Boundary
and Floodway Map (FBFM), and Flood Insurance Study (FIS), for the City of
Coppell, Dallas and Denton Counties, Texas. The 90-day appeal period that was
initiated on May 12, 1983, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency
published a notification of proposed modification of the base (100-year) flood
elevations for the City of Coppell, Dallas and Denton Counties, Texas, in the
Coppell Star, has elapsed.
The Agency has received no valid requests for changes in the base flood ele-
vations. Therefore, the modified flood elevations are effective as of
February 15, 1984, and amend the FIRM which was in effect prior to that date.
For rating purposes, the community number with new suffix code is 480170 C and
must be used for all new policies and renewals.
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.
The Agency has developed criteria for flood plain management as required under
the above-mentioned Acts of 1968 and 1973. As a condition of continued
eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), your community
must remain in compliance with Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. You
should review your existing flood plain management measures to determine
whether amendment is needed. The flood plain management measures in force
must reflect data shown on the latest FIRM and FBFM modifications by
February 15, 1984. The modified elevations will 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 o
Communities that fail to enact the necessary flood plain management regu-
lations will be suspended from participation in the program and subject to
prohibitions contained in Section 202(a) of the 1973 Act, as amended.
If there are further questions regarding the flood elevation determinations or
the FIRM and FBFM for the community, please contact the Chief of the Natural
and Technological Hazards Division, Federal Emergency Management Agency in
Denton, Texas, at (817) 387-5811, or members of my staff in Washington, D. C.,
at (202) 287-0230.
Sincerely,
Richard W. Krimm
Assistant Associate Director
