Dear Mr. Rawlings:
This is in response to your July 8, 1986 letter to Mr. Tom Hogan
concerning the location of the floodway boundary on a map.
The observations you made in your letter are essentially correct.
However, we would like to offer a clarifying statement concerning the
usage of the floodway data table. The reason we do not recommend the
use of this information in locating floodway boundaries is because
we cannot be certain that the cross-section location shown in the table
and on the map is where the cross-section was actually taken, or is
along the exact alignment shown on the map. However, the rest of the
information shown such as cross-section area or velocity is important
and very usable data.
We hope that this will help you understand our reasons for recommending
either projecting or scaling from known features.
Sincerely,
Albert L. Schulz, P.E.

The Honorable Merle A. Hodges Map Panel Number: 200319 0015B
Mayor, City of Salina
P.O. Box 736 Effective Date: IL 15 M6
Salina, Kansas 67402-0736
Dear Mayor Hodges:
This is in response to a letter dated May 27, 1986, from Mr. Donald E. Hoff,
P.E., Assistant City Engineer, City of Salina, to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) regarding the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for City of
Salina, Saline County, Kansas. Mr. Hoff requested that FEMA revise the
currently effective FIS to reflect the new channel alignment of Dry Creek
Tributary No. 1. To support his request, Mr. Hoff submitted an annotated copy
of a portion of a map entitled, "Official City Map of Southwest Quarter,
Sec. 17 T. 14S. R.2W.," showing the boundary of Zone A as it appears on the
effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 0015B, dated February 5, 1986;
a set of plans entitled, "Drainage Channel, Georgetown Addition," dated
November 1983, prepared by White, Hunsley & Associates; and estimated base
flood elevations at the upstream and downstream boundaries of the new channel
as shown on sheet 3 of the above-mentioned drainage channel plans.
With this letter, we are revising the FIRM panel listed above. The
designation of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) for Dry Creek Tributary
No. 1 from the corporate limits in the vicinity of Applewood Lane and Seitz
Drive upstream to Crawford Street has been changed from Zone A to Zone B.
This revision is based on our review of the above-mentioned information and
the fact that the contributing drainage area for the above-mentioned area is
less than 1 square mile. FEMA generally considers that drainage areas less
than 1 square mile should be addressed as a local drainage problem and need
not be included in a SFRA.
This Letter of Map Revision amends the currently effective FIRM Panel 0015B
dated February 5, 1986. Due to present funding constraints, FEMA must limit
the number of map revisions processed. Consequently, FEMA will not republish
these panels to reflect this revision. However, an annotated copy of FIRM
Panel 00158 is enclosed to show this revision. If the FIS is republished in
the future, this revision will be incorporated into the new FIS.
This revision to the FIRM affects the SFHA within the community. Since this
revision will not be printed and distributed 'to users, such as insurance
agents and lenders, the community will serve as a repository for the new data.
We encourage you to supplement this Letter of Map Revision by preparing a news
article for publication in the community newspaper. The article should
e
Map Yen _. It
describe the changes that have been made and assistance the community can
offer in providing data and interpreting the maps.
This Letter of Map Revision is based on minimum criteria established by FEMA
for floodplain management regulation. Community officials, in response to
local conditions and in the interest of human safety, may set higher standards
for construction in the floodplain than the minimum criteria established by
FEMA. If the State of Kansas or the City of Salina has adopted more
restrictive and comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria
take precedence over the minimum Federal criteria for the purpose of
regulating development in the floodplain. This policy is set forth in Section
60.1(d) of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.
This modification has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) and is in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, P.L. 90-488) 42 D.S.C. 4001-4128 and 44 CFR Part 65.
The revised zone designation is effective as of the date of this letter.
However, a review of the revised zone designation and any requests for changes
should be made within 30 days. Any request for reconsideration must be based
on scientific or technical data.
Should you have any questions regarding the new zone designation, please
contact the Chief, Natural and Technological Hazards Division of FEMA, in
Kansas City, Missouri, at (816) 374-2161 or Mr. Daniel Cotter of our Central
office staff in Washington, D.C., at (202) 646-2757.
