<br /> Revised FIRM Nos.: 27053C: 0144,0165, 0284,

<br /> REVALIDATION
<br /> Dear Mayor Peterson:
<br /> When a new National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP) map panel becomes effective,it automatically supersedes
<br /> previously issued Letter of Map Change(LOMC)actions(i.e.,Letters of Map Revision-based on Fill [LOMR-Fs]
<br /> and Letters of Map Amendment[LOMAs])that have been issued on that map panel,even if they are still valid and
<br /> should apply to the new NFIP map as well. Because a revised NFIP map has been prepared for your community, it
<br /> is necessary for the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)to take administrative action to prevent valid
<br /> LOMR-Fs and LOMAs from being superseded. Accordingly,the purpose of this letter is to revalidate the
<br /> determinations for properties and/or structures in your community as described in the LOMR-Fs and LOMAs
<br /> previously issued by FEMA on the dates listed below. As of the above-referenced effective date,these LOMR-Fs
<br /> and LOMAs will revise the effective NFIP map for the referenced community,dated September 2,2004, and will
<br /> remain in effect until superseded by a revision to the NFIP map panel on which the property is located. The FEMA
<br /> case numbers,when available,project identifiers,and Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM)numbers of the revalidated
<br /> LOMR-Fs and LOMAs are listed in the attachment to this letter.
<br /> Because these revalidated LOMR-Fs and LOMAs will not be printed or distributed to primary map users,such as
<br /> local insurance agents and mortgage lenders,your community will serve as a repository for these new data. We
<br /> encourage you to disseminate the information reflected by this letter throughout your community so that interested
<br /> persons,such as property owners,local insurance agents, and mortgage lenders,may benefit from the information.
<br /> If you feel a LOMC has been omitted from the list that should have been included,we encourage you to submit the
<br /> LOMC for re-determination. When requesting a re-determination,we ask that a cover letter be sent along with a
<br /> copy of the original detern-iination letter to: FEMA, LOMA Depot,P.O.Box 2210,Merrifield,Virginia 22116.
<br /> If you have any questions regarding this matter,please contact the FEMA Regional Office in Chicago,Illinois,at
<br /> (312)408-5548. Copies of previously issued LOMR-Fs and LOMAs, if needed,can be obtained by contacting our
<br /> Mapping Coordination Contractor,Dewberry, in Fairfax, Virginia,either by telephone at(703) 876-0148,or by
<br /> facsimile at(703)876-0073.
<br /> Sincerely,
<br /> Doug Bellomo,P.E.,Acting Chief
<br /> Hazard Identification Section,Mitigation Division,
<br /> Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate
