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 />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 />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 knowledge of local conditions and <br />in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas. If your <br />State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, 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. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMR by preparing a news release <br />for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and <br />help interpret the NFIP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, can <br />benefit from the information. <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.
