This document provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's determination regarding a request for a Letter of Map Revision for the
property described above. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we have
determined that the described portion(s) of the property(ies) is/are not located in the NFIP regulatory floodway or the SFHA, an area inundated
by the flood having a 1 -percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). This document revises the effective NFIP
map to remove the subject property from the NFIP regulatory floodway and the SFHA located on the effective NFIP map; therefore, the Federal
mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement to
protect its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about the
PRP and how one can apply is enclosed.
This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this
determination. If you have any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627
(877 -FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Engineering Library, 847 South Pickett Street,
Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.

INADVERTENT INCLUSION IN THE FLOODWAY 1 (PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY REMAIN IN THE
FLOODWAY) (This Additional Consideration applies to the preceding 1 Property.)
A portion of this property is located within the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulatory floodway for
the flooding source indicated on the Determination Document, while the subject of this determination is not. The
NFIP regulatory floodway is the area that must remain unobstructed in order to prevent unacceptable increases in
base flood elevations. Therefore, no construction may take place in an NFIP regulatory floodway that may cause
an increase in the base flood elevation, and any future construction or substantial improvement on the property
remains subject to Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local regulations for floodplain management. The NFIP
regulatory floodway is provided to the community as a tool to regulate floodplain development. Therefore, the
NFIP regulatory floodway modification described in the Determination Document, while acceptable to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), must also be acceptable to the community and adopted by
appropriate community action, as specified in Paragraph 60.3(d) of the NFIP regulations. Any proposed revision
to the NFIP regulatory floodway must be submitted to FEMA by community officials. The community should
contact either the Regional Director (for those communities in Regions I-IV, and VI -X), or the Regional Engineer
(for those communities in Region V) for guidance on the data which must be submitted for a revision to the NFIP
regulatory floodway. Contact information for each regional office can be obtained by calling the FEMA Map
Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877 -FEMA MAP) or from our web site at
http://www.fema.gov/about/regoff.htm.
PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY REMAIN IN THE SFHA (This Additional Consideration applies to the
preceding 1 Property.)
Portions of this property, but not the subject of the Determination/Comment document, may remain in the Special
Flood Hazard Area. Therefore, any future construction or substantial improvement on the property remains
subject to Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local regulations for floodplain management.
This attachment provides additional information regarding this request. If you have any questions about this attachment, please contact the
FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877 -FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, Engineering Library, 847 South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.

ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS)
STUDY UNDERWAY (This Additional Consideration applies to all properties in the LOMR-FW
DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (REMOVAL))
This determination is based on the flood data presently available. However, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency is currently revising the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map for the community.
New flood data could be generated that may affect this property. When the new NFIP map is issued it will
supersede this determination. The Federal requirement for the purchase of flood insurance will then be based on
the newly revised NFIP map.
REISSUANCE (This Additional Consideration applies to all properties in the LOMR-FW
DETERMINATION DOCUMENT (REMOVAL))
The 7/17/1995, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map has since been superseded by a new NFIP map
dated 1/6/2012, for this community. Therefore, this document issues a new determination for the subject property
based on the new 1/6/2012, NFIP map.
This attachment provides additional information regarding this request. If you have any questions about this attachment, please contact the
FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877-FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the Federal Emergency Management
