<br />
<br />Public notification of the proposed modified BFEs will be given in the Golden Transcripr on or about March 14
<br />and March 21, 1997, A copy of this notification is enclosed, In addition, a notice of changes will be published
<br />in the Federal Register. Within 90 days of the second publication in the Golden Transcript, a citizen may
<br />request that FEMA reconsider the determination made by this LOMR, Any request for reconsideration must
<br />be based on scientifIc or technical data. All interested parties are on notice that, until the 90-day period
<br />elapses, the determination to modify the BFEs presented in this LOMR may itself be modifIed.
<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, This
<br />article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by
<br />providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps,
<br />
<br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the
<br />modifIcations made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel and FIS
<br />report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifIcations made
<br />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 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 minimum NFIP criteria.
<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,
