The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copies of FIRM <br />Panel(s) 08041C0276 F, Profile Panel(s) 314P and 315P, and affected portions of the Floodway Data <br />Table, This LOMR hereby revises the above-referenced panel(s) of the effective FIRM and the affected <br />portions of the FIS report, both dated March 17, 1997, <br /> <br />The modifications are effective as of the date shown above, The map panel(s) as listed above and as <br />modified by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community, <br />
