Page 3 of 3 Date: March 07, 2013 Case No.: 13-05-3867A LOMA <br /> Federal Emergency Management Agency <br /> Washington,D.C.20472 <br /> LETTER OF MAP AMENDMENT <br /> DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (REMOVAL) <br /> ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS) <br /> GROUND SUBSIDENCE -The location of this request may be in an area subject to ground subsidence, the <br /> lowering of the ground as a result of natural occurrences such as soil settlement, or artificial occurrences such as <br /> the extraction of water or oil from the ground. While the elevations submitted with this request show the subject <br /> property is currently above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), the property may "subside"with the passage of time <br /> to the extent that property elevations would be below the SFE and flood insurance may be required. <br /> _ ._GREAT.LAKES=The_Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has based this determination on <br /> elevation data, which is published in the current Flood Insurance Study for the community. However, the <br /> elevations established in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) reports on the Great Lakes are the best <br /> available data known to us. If in the future there are any subsequent map revisions to the national Flood <br /> Insurance Program map and the USACE reports remain the best available data known, FEMA will use those <br /> elevations for any such revisions. Further, be advised that the elevations on the Flood Insurance Rate Map <br /> (FIRM) may only reflect the Stillwater elevation for the lake and may not account for the effects of wind driven <br /> waves or wave run-up. On-site conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, fetch distance, water depth and <br /> the slope of the beach or bluff may result in significant increases to the base Flood elevation. Therefore, it is <br /> strongly recommended that the requestor be aware of these circumstances and, if warranted, evaluate the <br /> 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 supersede <br /> any State or local procedural or substantive provisions which may apply to floodplain management requirements <br /> associated with amendments to State or local floodplain zoning ordinances, maps, or State or local procedures <br /> adopted under the National Flood Insurance Program. <br /> COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCE SYSTEM -The subject of this determination may be located within the <br /> Coastal Barrier Resource System(CBRS). Federal financial assistance, including Federal Flood insurance, is <br /> not available in CBRS areas for new construction or substantial improvements occurring after the date on which <br /> the area was declared by Congress to be part of the CBRS or otherwise protected area as required by the <br /> Coastal Barrier Resources Act(Public Law 97-348) and the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act 1990 (Public Law <br /> 101-591). This date is indicated on the National Flood Insurance Program map. For further information'on this <br /> property and the CBR5 or otherwise protected area designation, contact the U.S. Department of the Interior. <br /> This attachment provides additional information regarding this request.
