<br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 710 <br />P.O, Box 25267 <br />Denver, CO 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br /> <br /> <br />i <br /> <br />3 <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 and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at that time, <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, <br />the floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable <br />to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of <br />the NFIP regulations, <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development and for ensuring all necessary <br />permits required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, <br />based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of-safety, may set higher standards for <br />construction in the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or <br />comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP <br />criteria, <br /> <br />The basis ofthis LOMR is, in whole or in part, channel-modificationlbridge projects. NFIP regulations, <br />as cited in Paragraph 60.3(b)(7), require that communities ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within <br />the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained, This provision is incorporated into <br />your community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate <br />responsibility for maintenance of the modified channels and bridges rests with your community. <br /> <br />This detennination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the 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 Flood Insurance Act of 1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum requirements <br />and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption <br />ofthe effective FIRM and FIS report to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in <br />this LOMR. Our records show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO <br />will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA, For infonnation regarding your CCO, <br />please contact: <br />
