The Honorable Candy Sheehan
Mayor, City of Coppell

Dear Mayor Sheehan:
Community: City of Coppell,
Dallas County, Texas
Community No.: 480170
Map Panels Affected:
116
4811300155 J, and
4812100705 F
In a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), dated June 6, 2003, you were notified of proposed
modified flood elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map {FIRM) for the
City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. These determinations were for Denton Creek, from
approximately 10,000 feet downstream of MacArthur Boulevard to approximately 1,500 feet
upstream of MacArthur Boulevard. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on July 2, 2003,
when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of the proposed
Base (1% annual chance) 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 October 1, 2003, 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 P~*t 65. The community number and suffix code 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, Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Division of FEMA in Denton, Texas, at (940) 898-5399.
If you have any questions regarding the LOMR, the proposed modified BFEs, or mapping issues
in general, please call our Map Assistance Center, toll free, at 1-877-FEMA MAP
(1-877-336-2627).
