<br />.. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents and <br />mortgage lenders, your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you to <br />disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested persons, <br />such as property owners, local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the information. <br />We also encourage you to prepare a related article for publication in your community's local newspaper. <br />This article should describe the assistance that officials of your community will give to interested persons <br />by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP maps. <br /> <br />We will not physically revise and republish the FIRM and FIS report for your community to reflect the <br />modifications made by this LOMR at this time. When changes to the previously cited FIRM panel(s) and <br />FIS report warrant physical revision and republication in the future, we will incorporate the modifications <br />made by this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />Because this revision does not involve floodway changes, we are not revising the Flood Boundary and <br />Floodway Map (FBFM); therefore, no annotated copies of the FBFM are enclosed. Unless a subsequent <br />physical map revision involves floodway changes for the FBFM panel(s), we will not revise the FBFM to <br />show the modifications described in this LOMR. <br /> <br />This LOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development, and for ensuring all necessary permits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on <br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the <br />SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain <br />management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. <br /> <br />The basis of this LOMR is, in whole or in part, a channel-modification/culvert project. NFIP regulations, <br />as cited in Paragraph 60.3(b)(7), require that communities ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within <br />the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained, This provision is incorporated into your <br />community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for <br />maintenance of the modified channel and culvert rests with your community. <br /> <br />This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 <br />(Public Law 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended <br />(Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), <br />42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act <br />of 1968, as amended, communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and <br />do not supersede any State or local requirements of a more stringent nature. This includes adoption of the <br />effective FIRM to which the regulations apply and the modifications described in this LOMR. Our records <br />show that your community has met this requirement. <br />
