.. ~ .1 2 The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 085073 0220 D. This LOMR hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM dated September 28, 1990. Due to present funding constraints, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must limit the number of physical map revisions processed. Consequently, we will not republish the FIRM for the City of Broomfield to reflect the determination of this LOMR at this time. However, when changes to FIRM Panel 0220 D for your community warrant a physical revision and republication in the future, the determination in this LOMR will be incorporated at that time. The basis of this LOMR is a channel-modification project. NFIP regulations, as cited in Paragraph 60.3(b)(7), require that communities assure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for maintenance of the channel modification rests with your community. Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR widely throughout the community, so that interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. We also encourage you to give consideration to preparing an article for publication in your community's local newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance your community will give in providing the data and interpreting the NFIP maps. This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1913 (P.L. 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, P.L. 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Because of the modifications to the FIRM for your community made by this LOMR, certain additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, within 6 months from the date of this letter. Prior to July 25, 1994, your community is required, as a condition of continued eligibility in the NFIP, to adopt or show evidence of adoption of floodplain management regulations that meet the standards of Section 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. These standards are the minimum requirements and do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. The map as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
