These criteria, including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this LOMR, are the <br />minimum requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements <br />to which the regulations apply, <br /> <br />COMMUNITY REMINDERS <br /> <br />We based this determination on the I-percent,annual,chance discharges computed in the submitted hydrologic model. Future <br />development of projects upstream could cause increased discharges, which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive <br />restudy of your community's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on discharges and could, therefore, <br />indicate that greater flood hazards exist in this area. <br /> <br />Y our community_must.regulate.all.proposed,floodplain'devclopment'and'enEtitethat permits require,fliy Federal and/or <br />StatelCommonwealth law have been obtained, StatelCommonweallh or community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and <br />in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas, If your <br />State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take <br />precedence over the minimu.m NFIP requ\rement5. <br /> <br />We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community <br />wit! ""rve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to dis""minate the information in this LOMR by preparing a news release <br />for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and <br />help interpret the NfIP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, can <br />benefit from the information. <br /> <br />This detennination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide addltlonal information regarding this determination.
