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 ex.ceed 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 />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 watercom-se is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community's existing floodplain managi~ment <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 />COM1VIUNny REM][NDERS <br /> <br />We based this determination on the I-percent-annual-chance discharges computed in the submitted hydrologic modeil. Future <br />development of project:; upstream could cause increased discharges, which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive <br />restudy of your community'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 knowledge oflocal 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 tIllS 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 NHP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, can <br />benefit from the information. <br /> <br />This revision has met our criteria for removing an area from the I-percent-annual-chance floodplain to reflect the placement of fill. <br />However, we encourage you to require that the lowest adjacent grade and lowest floor (including basement) of any stmcture placed within <br />the subject area be elevated to or above the Base (l-percent-annual-chance) Flood Elevation. <br /> <br />This determination is based on the f1000l data presently available.
