Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, <br />communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP <br />criteria. These criteria, including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this LOMR, are the minimum <br />requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which <br />the regulations apply. <br /> <br />We provide the flood way designation to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway revision <br />we have described in this letter, while acceptable to us, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate <br />community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. <br /> <br />NFIP regulations Subparagraph 60.3(b)(7) requires communities to ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or relocated <br />portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community's existing floodplain management <br />ordinances; therefore, responsibility for maintenance of the altered or relocated watercourse, including any related appurtenances such as <br />bridges, culverts, and other drainage structures, rests with your community. We may request that your community submit a description <br />and schedule of maintenance activities necessary to ensure this requirement. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY REMINDERS <br /> <br />We based this determination on the I-percent-annual-chance flood discharges computed in the FIS for your community without <br />considering subsequent changes in watershed characteristics that could increase flood discharges. Future development of projects <br />upstream could cause increased flood discharges, which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive restudy of your <br />community's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on flood discharges subsequent to the publication of <br />the FIS report for your community and could, therefore, establish greater flood hazards in this area. <br /> <br />This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination. If you have <br />any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at 1-877-336-2627 (1-877-FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the <br />LOMR Depot. 3601 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22304.
