<br />3 <br /> <br />The basis ofthis LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification/culvert project. NFIP regulations, <br />as cited in Paragraph 60.3(b )(7), require that communities ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within <br />the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into <br />your community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate <br />responsibility for maintenance of the modified channel and culvert rests with your community. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93~234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. <br />4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum <br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption <br />of the effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. <br />Our records show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO <br />will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, <br />please contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267 <br />Denver, CO 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please call the CCO for your community at the telephone number cited above. If you have <br />any questions regarding this LOMR, please call our Map Assistance Center, toll free, at <br />1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627). <br />
