<br /> LETTER OF MAP REVISION
<br /> DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (CONTINUED)
<br /> COMMUNITY INFORMATION
<br />APPLICABLE NFIP REGULATIONS/COMMUNITY OBLlGATION ,
<br />We have made this determination pursuant to Section 206 of the flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P,L. 93-234) and in accordance
<br />with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968,
<br />P.L. 90-448), 42 U,S,c, 4001-4128, 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 regulations that meet or
<br />exceed NFIP criteria, 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 flot supersede morc stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements
<br />to which the regulations apply,
<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_mustregulate,all,proposed-floodplain'developmem-and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or
<br />State/Commonwealth law have been obtained, State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge ofIocal 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 />We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community
<br />will serve as a repository for the new data, We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMR by preparing a news release
<br />for publication in your community1s 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 />This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional infonnation regarding this determination. If
<br />you have any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at 1-877-336-2677 (1-877-FEMA MAP) or by letter
<br />addressed to the LOMR Depot, 3601 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria. VA 22304. Additional infonnation about the NFIP is available on our website at
