Re: Request acceptance of temporary increases in 1% (100-year) annual chance water-
surface elevations
Dear Mayor Hicks:
The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for a community depicts land which has been
determined to be subject to a 1% (100-year) or greater chance of flooding in any given
year. The FIRM is used to determine flood insurance rates and to help the community
with floodplain management.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is proposing the replacement of the Hwy.
61 Hastings Bridge crossing the Mississippi River.
The proposed project will not permanently increase the 1% annual chance water-surface
elevation. The proposed project will result in temporary increases in the 1% annual
chance water-surface elevations for the Mississippi River with a maximum increase of
0.06 feet (3/4 inch) between Hwy. 61, and Lock and Dam #2. The temporary increase
will occur between June 2010, and Dec. 2014. The proposed project may result in a
permanent maximum decrease in the 1 % annual chance water-surface elevation of 0.01
feet (1/8 inch) between Hwy. 61, and Lock and Dam #2.
We would like to obtain your acceptance of the temporary increase in the 1 % annual
chance (Zone A) floodplain between Hwy. 61, and Lock and Dam #2. Please sign and
date the provided copy of this letter to signify your acceptance and return it to me by Sep.
14, 2009.

If you have any questions or concerns about the proposed project or its affect on the 1%
annual chance water-surface elevation, you may contact me at 651-234-7880.
Sincerely, ,
