4 <br />After receiving appropriate documentation to show that the project has been completed, FEMA will <br />initiate a revision to the FIRM, FBFM, and FIS report. Because the BFEs would change as a result of the <br />project, a 90 -day appeal period would be initiated, during which community officials and interested <br />persons may appeal the revised BFEs based on scientific or technical data. <br />The basis of this CLOMR is, in whole or in part, a culvert project. NFIP regulations, as cited in <br />Paragraph 60.3(b)(7), require that communities assure that the flood - carrying capacity within the altered <br />or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your <br />community's existing floodplain management regulations. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility for <br />maintenance of the culvert rests with your community. <br />This CLOMR is based on minimum floodplain management criteria established under the NFIP. Your <br />community is responsible for approving all floodplain development and for ensuring all necessary permits <br />required by Federal or State law have been received. State, county, and community officials, based on <br />knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in <br />the SFHA. If the State, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain <br />management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. <br />If you have any questions regarding floodplain management regulations for your community or the NFIP <br />in general, please contact the Consultation Coordination Officer (CCO) for your community. Information <br />on the CCO for your community may be obtained by calling the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA <br />in Chicago, Illinois, at (312) 408 -5529. If you have any questions regarding this CLOMR, please call our <br />Map Assistance Center, toll free, at 1- 877 -FEMA MAP (1- 877 - 336 - 2627). <br />Sincerely, <br />O <br />Enclosures <br />Max H.
