<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(s) and FIS 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 minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development and for ensuring all necessary pennits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on <br />knowledge oflocal 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 />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a culvert project. NFIP regulations, as cited in <br />Paragraph 60.3(b X7), require that communities ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or <br />relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community's <br />existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for maintenance of <br />the culverts 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 infonnation 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 infonnation. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local <br />newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials <br />of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />This detennination 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. 4001-4128, <br />and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, <br />communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations <br />that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do not supersede any State <br />or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the effective FIRM to which the <br />regulations apply and the modifications made by this LOMR. Our records show that your community has <br />met this requirement. <br /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For infonnation regarding your CCO, please <br />contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VIII <br />Denver Federal Center, Building 71 0, Box 25267 <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0267 <br />(303) 235-4830 <br />
