<br />" <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />be subject to ponding during the base flood and has been designated as an SFHA. The maximum increase <br />in SFHA width in this area is approximately 1.300 feet. All property owners affected by the increase in <br />SFHA width have been notified. <br /> <br />The modifications are shown on the enclosed annotated copy of FIRM Panel 08005C0435 J for Arapahoe <br />. County. Colorado and Incorporated Areas. This LOMR hereby revises this panel of the effective FIRM <br />dated August 16, 1995. <br /> <br />The revisions are effective as of the date of this letter; however. a review of the determination made by <br />this LOMR and any requests to alter this determination should be made within 30 days. Any request to <br />alter the determination must be based on scientific or technical data. A separate LOMR describing the <br />effects of the revised analyses on the FIRM for the City of Littleton. Colorado, was issued to that <br />community on the same date as this LOMR. <br /> <br />Due to present funding constraints. we must limit the number of physical map revisions processed. <br />Consequently. we will not republish the FIRM for your community to reflect the modifications described <br />in this LOMR at this time. However, when changes to FIRM Panel 08005C0435 J for your community <br />warrant a physical revision and republication in the future. we will incorporate the modifications described <br />in this LOMR at that time. <br /> <br />This response to Ms. Love's request is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established <br />under the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development. including this <br />request. and for ensuring that necessary permits required by Federal or State law have been received. <br />With knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety. State and community officials may set <br />higher standards for construction, or may limit development in floodplain areas. If the State of Colorado <br />or your community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria. these <br />criteria take precedence. <br /> <br />Because this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary users, such as local insurance agents. <br />and mortgage lenders. your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We encourage you <br />to disseminate the information reflected by this LOMR throughout the community, so that interested <br />persons. such as property owners. local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, may benefit from the <br />information. We also encourage you to prepare an article for publication in your community's local <br />newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance that officials <br />of your community will give to interested persons by providing these data and interpreting the NFIP <br />maps. <br /> <br />The map panel as listed above and as revised by this letter will be used for all flood insurance policies <br />and renewals issued for 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).42 V.S.C. 4001- <br />4128. and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. as <br />amended. communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management <br />regulations that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria. These criteria are the minimum and do not <br />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. <br />
