<br />3 <br /> <br />This response to Ms, Lineback's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established <br />under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all proposed floodplain developments, <br />including this request, and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been <br />received, With knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, State and community officials <br />may set higher standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State of <br />Colorado or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management <br />criteria, these criteria take precedence, <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification/culvert project. NFIP regulations, <br />as cited in Paragraph 60,3(b)(7), require that communities assure 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 channel modification/culvert rests with your community. <br /> <br />The map panels as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies <br />and renewals issued for your community, <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. 4001- <br />4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as <br />amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management <br />regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria, These criteria are the minimum and do not <br />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 (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO <br />will be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, <br />please contact: <br /> <br />Mr, Douglas A. Gore <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 710, Box 25267 <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br />
