2 The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: Location Existing BFE (feet) * Modified BFE (feet) * Approximately 6,300 feet upstream of Tallman Drive Approximately 7,900 feet upstream of Tallman Drive 6,050 6,080 6,045 6,075 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Do ugh County News Press on or about April 21 and April 28, 1999. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the Douglas County News Press, a citizen may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 9O-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. Because thii LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughoutthe community, so that interested persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and PIS report for your community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at thii time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and PIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at that time. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria.
