The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM Panel 0180 E, Profile Panels 35P and 35P(a), and 68P, and the Summary of Discharges Table and Floodway Data Table for Westerly Creek.

We encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps.
