<br />, , <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your <br />community to reflect the modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously <br />cited FIRM panel and PIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will <br />incorporate the modifications made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on ntinimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFll'. 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 ntinimum NFll' criteria. <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification/culvert project. NFll' 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 your <br />community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for <br />maintenance of the modified channel and culvert rests with your community. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to <br />disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials of your <br />community_will,give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFll' maps, <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 xm 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 I361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of1968, <br />as amended, communities participating in the NFll' are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed ntinimum NFll' 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 made by this LOMR. Our records <br />show that your community has met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CeO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA, For information regarding your CCO, please <br />contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L.
