<br />I 3 <br /> <br />the determination made by this LOMR. Any request for reconsideration must be <br />based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are on notice <br />that, until the 90-day period elapses, the determination to Illodify the BFEs <br />presented in this LOMR may itself be modified. <br /> <br />We are incorporating new detailed flood hazard information for the Town of <br />Parker into FIRM Panel 0070 C and the FIS report as a physical map revision. <br />We will also incorporate the modifications described in this LOMR into the <br />revised panel and FIS report. Before publishing the revised panel and FIS <br />report, we will issue preliminary copies for review by your conununity. The <br />preliminary copies are scheduled to be delivered for review in winter 1995. <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain <br />development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this letter, <br />while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your conununity and <br />adopted by appropriate conununity action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of <br />the NFIP regulations. <br /> <br />This response to Mr. Lambert's request is based on minimum floodplain <br />management criteria established under the NFIP. Your conununity is <br />responsible for approving all proposed floodplain developments, including <br />this request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or <br />State law have been received. With knowledge of local conditions and in the <br />interest of safety, State and community officials may set higher standards <br />for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State <br />of Colorado or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive <br />floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence. <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification <br />project. NFIP regulations, as cite<i in Paragraph 60.3(b)( 7), require that <br />communities assure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or <br />relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is <br />incorporated into your community's existing floodplain management <br />regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for maintenance of <br />the channel modification rests with your conununity. <br /> <br />The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for <br />all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your conununity. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood <br />Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with <br />the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the <br />Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. <br />4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National <br />Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, cOlllllunities participating in the <br />NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that <br />meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do <br />not superse<ie any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. <br />This includes adoption of the effective FIRM to which the regulations apply <br />and the modifications made by this LOMR. Our records show that your <br />conununity has met this requirement. <br />
