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 />criteriaa 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/Co~onwealth or local requirements to which <br />the regulations applYa <br /> <br />COl\1MUNITY REMINDERS <br /> <br />We based this determination on the I-percent-annual-chance discharges computed in the submitted hydrologic modeL Future <br />development of projects upstream could cause increased discharges, which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive <br />restudy of your conununity's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on discharges and could, therefore, <br />indicate that greater flood hazards exist in this area. <br /> <br />Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or <br />State/Commonwealth law have been obtained~ State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on Imowledge of local conditions and <br />in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas a If your <br />State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteriat those criteria take <br />precedence over the minimum NFIP requirements. .----~--_._--- <br /> <br />We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community <br />will serve as a repository for the new data.
