LEGAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION ZONE A
FILL RECOMMENDATION STUDY UNDERWAY
PORTIONS REMAIN IN THE SFHA
This document provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's determination regarding a request for a Letter of Map Revision based
on Fill 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 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 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, LOMC Clearinghouse, 847 South Pickett Street,
Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.

LEGAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
BEGINNING at the Northwest corner of Lot 16; thence S6611 1'53"E, 310.00 feet; thence S23048'07"W, 238.00

FILL RECOMMENDATION (This Additional Consideration applies to the preceding 1 Property.)
The minimum NFIP criteria for removal of the subject area based on fill have been met for this request and the
community in which the property is located has certified that the area and any subsequent structure(s) built on the
filled area are reasonably safe from flooding. FEMA's Technical Bulletin 10-01 provides guidance for the
construction of buildings on land elevated above the base flood elevation through the placement of fill. A copy of
Technical Bulletin 10-01 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/mit/tb1001.pdf. Although the minimum NFIP
standards no longer apply to this area, some communities may have floodplain management regulations that are
more restrictive and may continue to enforce some or all of their requirements in areas outside the Special Flood
Hazard Area.
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.
ZONE A (This Additional Consideration applies to the preceding 1 Property.)
The National Flood Insurance Program map affecting this property depicts a Special Flood Hazard Area that was
determined using the best flood hazard data available to FEMA, but without performing a detailed engineering
analysis. The flood elevation used to make this determination is based on approximate methods and has not
been formalized through the standard process for establishing base flood elevations published in the Flood
Insurance Study. This flood elevation is subject to change.
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, LOMC Clearinghouse, 847 South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.

STUDY UNDERWAY (This Additional Consideration applies to all properties in the LOMR-F
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.
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, LOMC Clearinghouse, 847 South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.
