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 FIS report and FIRM,and the modifications made by this LOMR,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 /> COMMUrTITY REMINDERS <br /> We based this determination on the 1-percent-annual-chance flood discharges computed in the FIS for your community without <br /> considering subsequent changes in watershed characteristics that could increase flood discharges. Future development of projects <br /> upstream could cause increased flood discharges,which could cause increased flood hazards. A comprehensive restudy of your <br /> community's flood hazards would consider the cumulative effects of development on flood discharges subsequent to the publication of <br /> the FIS report for your community and could,therefore,establish greater flood hazards 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 LOMR 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 flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.
