2 The following table is a partial listing of existing and modified BFEs: Location Existing BFE (feet) * Modified BFE (feet)* Approximately 12,345 feet upstream of Titan Road Just downstream of Titan Road bridge Approximately 2,150 feet downstream of Titan Road 5,606 5,530 5,516 5,605 5,535 5,522 *Referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, rounded to the nearest whole foot We encourage you to prepare an article for publication in your community's local newspaper which describes the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons by interpreting these data and the NFIP maps. Upon expiration of the 90-day appeal period and resolution of any appeals, we will issue a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). The LOMR will revise the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM dated September 30, 1987, and the affected portions of the FIS report dated January 5, 1996. The map panel(s) as listed above and as modified by the LOMR will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the modifications made by the LOMR. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications made by the LOMR. The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway modifications described in this letter, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. The LOMR will be based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. The detennination to issue a LOMR will be made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 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 amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in the LOMR. Our records show that your community has met this requirement.
