<br />'. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />The floodway is provided to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the <br />floodway modifications described in this LOMR, while acceptable to FEMA, must also be acceptable to <br />your community and adopted by appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3( d) of the <br />NFIP regulations. <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 pennits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on <br />knowledge oflocal 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 incOlporated into your <br />community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for <br />maintenance of the modified channel and culverts 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 xm of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448), 42 U.S.C. <br />4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of1968, <br />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 /> <br />A Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) has been designated to assist your community. The CCO will <br />be the primary liaison between your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, please <br />contact: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Olsen <br />Director, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Division <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region vrn <br />Denver Federal Center, Building. 71 0 <br />P.O.
