Page 4 of 6 Date: 5/27/2020 Case No:20-05-2517A LOMA 0,N� T .�� , , .,�� Federal Emergency Management Agency \7 ",,' Washington,D.C.20472 !'4 ND St° LETTER OF MAP AMENDMENT DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (REMOVAL) ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS) GREAT LAKES - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has based this determination on elevation data which is published in the current Flood Insurance Study for the community. However, the elevations established in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) reports on the Great Lakes are the best available data known to us. If in the future there are any subsequent map revisions to the National Flood Insurance Program map and the USACE reports remain the best available data known, FEMA will use those elevations for any such revisions. Further, be advised that the elevations on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) may only reflect the Stillwater elevation for the lake and may not account for the effects of wind driven waves or wave run-up. On-site conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, fetch distance, water depth and the slope of the beach or bluff may result in significant increases to the base flood elevation. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the requestor be aware of these circumstances and, if warranted, evaluate the effects of wind driven waves along the shoreline of the property. STATE AND LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS - Please note that this document does not override or supersede any State or local procedural or substantive provisions which may apply to floodplain management requirements associated with amendments to State or local floodplain zoning ordinances, maps, or State or local procedures adopted under the National Flood Insurance Program. COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCE SYSTEM - Based upon information provided to FEMA by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the subject property may be within a System Unit or an Otherwise Protected Area (OPA) of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resource System (CBRS). Federal flood insurance is generally not available within the CBRS for new construction or substantial improvements occurring after the flood insurance prohibition date (which is generally tied to the date that the area was first established as either a System Unit or OPA, but may differ in some cases). Other federal expenditures and financial assistance (including certain types of disaster assistance) are also restricted within System Units of the CBRS. The USFWS is the authoritative source for information regarding the CBRS. Additional information, including the CBRS Mapper, can be found on the USFWS website at: https://www.fws.gov/cbra.
