DETERMINATION
This document provides the determination from the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
regarding a request for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the area described above. Using the information submitted, we have determined that

NFIP map, as indicated in the attached documentation. Please use the enclosed annotated map panel revised by this LOMR for floodplain
management purposes and for all flood insurance policies and renewals in your community.
This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination. If you have
any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Information eXchange toll free at 1-877-336-2627 (1 -877 -FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the

COMMUNITY INFORMATION
APPLICABLE NFIP REGULATIONS/COMMUNITY OBLIGATION
We have made this determination pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) and in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, P.L. 90-448),
42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 65. Pursuant to Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
communities participating in the NFIP are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed NFIP
criteria. These criteria, including adoption of the FIS report and FIRM, and the modifications made by this LOMR, are the minimum
requirements for continued NFIP participation and do not supersede more stringent State/Commonwealth or local requirements to which
the regulations apply.
COMMUNITY REMINDERS
We based this determination on the 1 -percent -annual -chance stillwater elevations computed in the FIS for your community. A
comprehensive restudy of your community's flood hazards could establish greater flood hazards in this area.
Your community must regulate all proposed floodplain development and ensure that permits required by Federal and/or
State/Commonwealth law have been obtained. State/Commonwealth or community officials, based on knowledge of local conditions
and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction or may limit development in floodplain areas. If your
State/Commonwealth or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take
precedence over the minimum NFIP requirements.
We will not print and distribute this LOMR to primary users, such as local insurance agents or mortgage lenders; instead, the community
will serve as a repository for the new data. We encourage you to disseminate the information in this LOMR by preparing a news release
for publication in your community's newspaper that describes the revision and explains how your community will provide the data and
help interpret the NFIP maps. In that way, interested persons, such as property owners, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders, can
benefit from the information.
We have designated a Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) to assist your community. The CCO will be the primary liaison between
your community and FEMA. For information regarding your CCO, please contact:
Mr. Jesse Munoz
Director, Mitigation Division
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region IV
Koger Center - Rutgers Building, 3003 Chamblee Tucker Road
Atlanta, GA 30341

This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination. If you have
any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Information eXchange toll free at 1-877-336-2627 (1 -877 -FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the
