This document is not a final determination; it only provides our comment on the proposed project in relation to the flood hazard information shown on the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. We reviewed the submitted data and the data used to prepare the effective flood hazard information for your community and determined that the proposed project meets the minimum floodplain management criteria of the NFIP. Your community is responsible for approving all floodplain development and for ensuring that all permits required by Federal or State/Commonwealth law have been received. State/Commonwealth, county, and community officials, based on their knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety, may set higher standards for construction in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), the area subject to inundation by the base flood. If the State/Commonwealth, county, or community has adopted more restrictive or comprehensive floodplain management criteria, these criteria take precedence over the minimum NFIP criteria. This comment is based on the flood data presently available. If you have any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-336-2627 (1-877-FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the LOMC Clearinghouse, 847 South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA 22304.

Cobb, CFM,Program Specialist Engineering Management Branch Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration 132942 PT202.BKR.13080614R.H20 104 CLOMR-APP BFE Change (feet) Increases due to the proposed project that exceed those permitted under Paragraphs (c)(10) or (d)(3) of Section 60.3 of the NFIP regulations must adhere to Section 65.12 of the NFIP regulations. With this request, your community has complied with all requirements of Paragraph 65.12(a) of the NFIP regulations. Compliance with Paragraph 65.12(b) also is necessary before FEMA can issue a Letter of Map Revision when a community proposes to permit encroachments into the effective floodplain/regulatory floodway that will cause BFE increases in excess of those permitted under Paragraph 60.3(d)(3). NFIP regulations Subparagraph 60.3(b)(7) requires communities to ensure that the flood-carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of any watercourse is maintained. This provision is incorporated into your community’s existing floodplain management ordinances; therefore, responsibility for maintenance of the altered or relocated watercourse, including any related appurtenances such as bridges, culverts, and other drainage structures, rests with your community. We may request that your community submit a description and schedule of maintenance activities necessary to ensure this requirement. To determine the changes in flood hazards that will be caused by the proposed project, we compared the hydraulic modeling reflecting the proposed project (referred to as the proposed conditions model) to the hydraulic modeling used to prepare the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) (referred to as the effective model). If the effective model does not provide enough detail to evaluate the effects of the proposed project, an existing conditions model must be developed to provide this detail. This existing conditions model is then compared to the effective model and the proposed conditions model to differentiate the increases or decreases in flood hazards caused by more detailed modeling from the increases or decreases in flood hazards that will be caused by the proposed project. The table below shows the changes in the BFEs: Page 3 of 6 Issue Date: April 16, 2013 Case No.: 13-08-0614R Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CONDITIONAL LETTER OF MAP REVISION COMMENT DOCUMENT (CONTINUED) 1.9 1.6 Location of maximum change Approximately 370 feet downstream of Mulberry Street Approximately 360 feet downstream of Lemay Avenue Approximately 3,010 feet upstream of Mulberry Street Approximately 370 feet downstream of Mulberry Street Approximately 3,010 feet upstream of Mulberry Street 1.9 0.4 0.1 2.4 Just downstream of Mulberry Street COMMUNITY INFORMATION Erin E.

If the project is built as proposed and the data below are received, a revision to the FIRM and FIS report would be warranted. • Form 1, entitled “Overview & Concurrence Form.” Detailed application and certification forms must be used for requesting final revisions to the maps. Therefore, when the map revision request for the area covered by this letter is submitted, Form 1 must be included. If as-built conditions differ from the proposed plans, please submit new forms, which may be accessed at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/dl_mt-2.shtm, or annotated copies of the previously submitted forms showing the revised information. • Hydraulic analyses, for as-built conditions, of the base flood; the 10-percent, 2-percent, and 0.2 percent annual chance floods; and the regulatory floodway, together with a topographic work map showing the revised floodplain and floodway boundaries. Please ensure that the revised information ties in with the current effective information at the downstream and upstream ends of the revised reach. • An annotated copy of the FIRM, at the scale of the effective FIRM, that shows the revised floodplain and floodway boundary delineations shown on the submitted work map and how they tie into the floodplain and floodway boundary delineations shown on the current effective FIRM at the downstream and upstream ends of the revised reach • As-built plans, certified by a registered professional engineer, of all proposed project elements This comment is based on the flood data presently available.

The fee at the time of the map revision submittal must be received before we can begin processing the request. Payment of this fee can be made through a check or money order, made payable in U.S. funds to the National Flood Insurance Program, or by credit card (Visa or MasterCard only). Please forward the payment, along with the revision application, to the following address: LOMC Clearinghouse 847 South Pickett Street Alexandria, VA 22304 After receiving appropriate documentation to show that the project has been completed, FEMA will initiate a revision to the FIRM and FIS report. Because the flood hazard information (i.e., base flood elevations, base flood depths, SFHAs, zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways) will change as a result of the project, a 90-day appeal period will be initiated for the revision, during which community officials and interested persons may appeal the revised flood hazard information based on scientific or technical data.
