The information <br />will also be used by local and regional planners to further promote <br />sound land use and floodplain development. <br /> <br />In some states or communities, floodplain management criteria or <br />regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive <br />than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more <br />restrictive criteria take precedence and the State (or other <br />juriSdictional agency) will be able to explain them. <br /> <br />Authority and Acknowledgments <br /> <br />The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for McCabe Creek and West <br />Fork McCabe Creek were performed by the U.S. Army Corps of <br />Engineers (COE), Sacramento District, for FEMA, under Contract No. <br />EMW-87-E-2549, Project Order No.7.
