<br />2' <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made <br />by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community <br />is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits required by <br />Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on knowledge of local <br />conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the SFHA. If the State, <br />county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these <br />criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public <br />Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of <br />the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR <br />Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities <br />participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or <br />exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do not supersede any State or local <br />requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the effective FIRM to which the regulations <br />apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. Our records show that your community has met this <br />requirement. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP in <br />general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. Information on the <br />CCO for your community may be obtained by contacting the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, <br />Colorado, at (303) 235-4830. If you have any technical questions regarding this LOMR, please contact <br />Mr. Mike Grimm of our staff in Washington, DC, either by telephone at (202) 646-2878 or by facsimile at <br />(202) 646-4596. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />/J~c. - <br />"-. ~ U- <br />(l,._.
