A. REQUESTS INVOLVING THE PLACEMENT OF FILL
As the community official responsible for floodplain management, I hereby acknowledge that we have received and reviewed this Letter of Map
Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-F) or Conditional LOMR-F request. Based upon the community's review, we find the completed or proposed project
meets or is designed to meet all of the community floodplain management requirements, including the requirement that no fill be placed in the
regulatory floodway, and that all necessary Federal, State, and local permits have been, or in the case of a Conditional LOMR-F, will be obtained.
For Conditional LOMR-F requests, the applicant has or will document Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance to FEMA prior to issuance of the
Conditional LOMR-F determination. For LOMR-F requests, I acknowledge that compliance with Sections 9 and 10 of the ESA has been achieved
independently of FEMA’s process. Section 9 of the ESA prohibits anyone from “taking” or harming an endangered species. If an action might harm
an endangered species, a permit is required from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under Section 10 of the ESA.
For actions authorized, funded, or being carried out by Federal or State agencies, documentation from the agency showing its compliance with
Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA will be submitted. In addition, we have determined that the land and any existing or proposed structures to be removed
from the SFHA are or will be reasonably safe from flooding as defined in 44CFR 65.2(c), and that we have available upon request by DHS-FEMA, all
analyses and documentation used to make this determination. For LOMR-F requests, we understand that this request is being forwarded to DHS-
FEMA for a possible map revision.
