<br />3 <br /> <br />The basis of this 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 ofthe modified channel and culvert rests with your community. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 ofthe 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 ofthe 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 NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum requirements <br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption <br />of the effective FIRM and FIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in <br />this LOMR. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. <br />Information on the CCO for your community may be obtained by contacting the Director, Mitigation <br />Division ofFEMA in Benver, Colorado, at (303) 235-4830.
