<br />, <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />This response to Ms. Spurgeon's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established <br />under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, including this <br />request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. With <br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, State and community officials may set higher <br />standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas, If the State of Colorado or your <br />community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take <br />precedence, <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification/culvert project. NFIP regulations, as <br />cited in Paragraph 60,3(b)(7), require that communities assure that the flood-carrying capacity within the <br />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 />The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and <br />renewals issued for your community. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public <br />Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of <br />the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),42 U,S,C, 4001-4128, and 44 CFR <br />Part 65, Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, communities <br />participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or <br />exceed minimum NFIP criteria, These criteria are the minimum and do not supersede any State or local <br />requirements of a more' stringent nature, This includes adoption of the effective FIRM to which the regulations <br />apply and the modifications described in this LOMR, Our records show that your community has met this <br />requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO will be <br />the primary liaison between your community and FEMA, For information regarding your CCO, please <br />contact: <br /> <br />Mr, Steve L. Olsen <br />Director.
