<br />, <br /> <br />2 <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 100 feet upstream of AT &SF crossing <br />At Town of Williamsburg corporate boundary <br /> <br />None <br />None <br /> <br />5,254 <br />5,295 <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 Canon City Daily Record on or <br />about December II and December 18, 2002. A copy of this notification is enclosed. In addition, a notice <br />of changes will be published in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the <br />Canon City Daily Record, any interested party may request that FEMA reconsider the determination made <br />by this LOMR. Any request for reconsideration must be based on scientific or technical data. All <br />interested parties are on notice that, until the 90-day period elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs <br />made by this 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 leuders, may benefit from the <br />information. We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local <br />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 />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 modifications <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <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 permits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on <br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the <br />SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain <br />management criteria, these 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 <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 ofthe 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 minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and <br />do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the <br />effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. Our <br />records show that your community has met this requirement. <br />
