Page 3 of 5 Date: 10/5/2023 Case No : 24-05-0036A LOMA <br /> `e�F Federal Emergency Management Agency <br /> Washington, D.C. 20472 <br /> '9 ND SEGJ�` <br /> LETTER OF MAP AMENDMENT <br /> DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (REMOVAL) <br /> ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS) <br /> GREAT LAKES - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has based this <br /> determination on elevation data which is published in the current Flood Insurance Study for the <br /> community. However, the elevations established in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) <br /> reports on the Great Lakes are the best available data known to us. If in the future there are any <br /> subsequent map revisions to the National Flood Insurance Program map and the USAGE reports <br /> remain the best available data known, FEMA will use those elevations for any such revisions. <br /> Further, be advised that the elevations on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) may only reflect the <br /> Stillwater elevation for the lake and may not account for the effects of wind driven waves or wave <br /> run-up. On-site conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, fetch distance, water depth and the <br /> slope of the beach or bluff may result in significant increases to the base flood elevation. Therefore, <br /> it is strongly recommended that the requestor be aware of these circumstances and, if warranted, <br /> evaluate the effects of wind driven waves along the shoreline of the property. <br /> STATE AND LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS - Please note that this document does not override or <br /> supersede any State or local procedural or substantive provisions which may apply to floodplain <br /> management requirements associated with amendments to State or local floodplain zoning <br /> ordinances, maps, or State or local procedures adopted under the National Flood Insurance <br /> Program. <br /> COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCE SYSTEM - Based upon information provided to FEMA by the U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the subject property may be within a System Unit or an <br /> Otherwise Protected Area (OPA) of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resource System (CBRS). <br /> Federal flood insurance is generally not available within the CBRS for new construction or substantial <br /> improvements occurring after the flood insurance prohibition date (which is generally tied to the date <br /> that the area was first established as either a System Unit or OPA, but may differ in some cases). <br /> Other federal expenditures and financial assistance (including certain types of disaster assistance) <br /> are also restricted within System Units of the CBRS. The USFWS is the authoritative source for <br /> information regarding the CBRS. Additional information, including the CBRS Mapper, can be found <br /> on the USFWS website at: https://www.fws.gov/cbra. <br /> This attachment provides additional information regarding this request.
