<br />2 <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above. The map panel listed above and as modified <br />by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Existing BFE <br />(feet)* <br /> <br />Modified BFE <br />(feet)* <br /> <br />Approximately 350 feet downstream of <br />Warrior Canal crossing <br /> <br />5,532 <br /> <br />5,533 <br /> <br />*Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot <br /> <br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the High Timber Times on or about <br />February 22 and March 1,2001. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice of changes <br />will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the High Timber <br />Times, any interested party may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR. <br />Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All interested parties are <br />on notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs made by this <br />LOMR may itself be modified. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents <br />and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you <br />to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested <br />persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the <br />information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's <br />local newspaper. This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to <br />interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />Weare processing a revised FIRM and FIS report for Jefferson County in our countywide format; <br />therefore, we will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FlS report for your community to <br />incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. Revised Preliminary copies of the <br />countywide FIRM and FIS report, which present information from the effective FIRMs and FIS reports <br />for your community and incorporated communities in Jefferson County, were submitted to your <br />community for review on November 29,2000. We will incorporate the modifications made by this <br />LOMR into the countywide FIRM and FIS report before they become effective. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFlP. 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 />
