<br /> <br /> <br />Effective Date: APR 0 9 2004 <br /> <br />Case No.: 03-08-0318P <br /> <br />LOMR-APP <br /> <br /> <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />Issue Date: APR <br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Washington, D.C. 20472 <br /> <br />LETTER OF MAP REVISION <br />DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (CONTINUED) <br /> <br />COMMUNITY INFORMATION <br /> <br />APPLICABLE NFIP REGULA nONS/COMMUNITY OBLIGA nON <br /> <br />We have made this determination pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (PL. 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 D.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of1968, 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 not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements <br />to which the regulations apply. <br /> <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 /> <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 community's existing floodplain management <br />_ _ordinancl'~; therefore, responsibility for maintenance of the modified channel and culvert rests with your community. We may request <br />that your community submit a aescrijition ana scnedule-ofchannel-and-culvert-activities. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY REMINDERS <br /> <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 /> <br />Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal andlor <br />State/Commonwealth law have been obtained. State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge of local 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 /> <br />This determination is based on the Rood data presently available, The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.
