Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, <br />communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP <br />criteria. These criteria, including adoption of the FES report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this LOMB, are the minimum <br />requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which <br />the regulations apply. <br />We provide the floodway designation to your community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the floodway revision <br />we have described in this letter, while acceptable to us, must also be acceptable to your community and adopted by appropriate <br />community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. <br />COMMUNITY REMINDERS <br />We based this determination on the 1 -percent -annual -chance discharges computed in the submitted hydrologic model. Future <br />development of projects upstream could cause increased discharges, which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive <br />restudy of your community's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on discharges and could, therefore, <br />indicate that greater flood hazards exist in this area. <br />Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or <br />State/Commonwealth law have been obtained. State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions <br />and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development .in floodplain areas. If your <br />State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take <br />precedence over the minimum NFIP requirements. <br />We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community <br />will serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMB by preparing a news release <br />for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and <br />help interpret the NFIP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, can <br />benefit from the information. <br />This determination is based on the Rood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.
