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 />We provide the floodway designation to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway revision <br />we have described in this letter, while acceptable to us, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate <br />community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations <br />NFIP regulations Subparagraph 60.3(b)(7) requires communities to ensure that the flood.carrying capacity within the altered or relocated <br />portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your conununity's existing floodplain management <br />ordinances; therefore, responsibility for maintenance of the modified channel and culvert rests with your community. We may request <br />that your community submit a description and schedule of channel and culvert activities. <br />COMMUNITY REMINDERS <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 />Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or <br />State/Commonwealth law have been obtained, State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge oflocal 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 minimum NFIP requirements. <br />This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.
