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 structure(s) on 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.

ATTACHMENT 1 (ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS)
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.
ANNEXATION (This Additional Consideration applies to the preceding 1 Property,)
Although the subject of this determination is shown on the National Flood Insurance Program map as being
located in a community other than the community indicated on the Determination/Comment Document, it has
been annexed by the community referenced therein.
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

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING
LETTERS OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL
When making determinations on requests for Letters of Map Revision based on the placement of fill
(LOMR-Fs), the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
bases its determination on the flood hazard information available at the time of the determination.
Requesters should be aware that flood conditions may change or new information may be generated that
would supersede FEMA's determination. In such cases, the community will be informed by letter.
Requesters also should be aware that removal of a property (parcel of land or structure) from the Special
Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) means FEMA has determined the property is not subject to inundation by the
flood having a 1 -percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). This does
not mean the property is not subject to other flood hazards. The property could be inundated by a flood
with a magnitude greater than the base flood or by localized flooding not shown on the effective National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map.
The effect of a LOMR-F is it removes the Federal requirement for the lender to require flood insurance
coverage for the property described. The LOMR-F is not a waiver of the condition that the property
owner maintain flood insurance coverage for the property. Only the lender can waive the flood insurance
purchase requirement because the lender imposed the requirement. The property owner must request and
receive a written waiver from the lender before canceling the policy. The lender may determine, on its
own as a business decision, that it wishes to continue the flood insurance requirement to protect its
financial risk on the loan.
The LOMR-F provides FEMA's comment on the mandatory flood insurance requirements of the NFIP as
they apply to a particular property. A LOMR-F is not a building permit, nor should it be construed as
such. Any development, new construction, or substantial improvement of a property impacted by a
LOMR-F must comply with all applicable State and local criteria and other Federal criteria.
If a lender releases a property owner from the flood insurance requirement, and the property owner decides
tocancel.the policy, and seek a refund, the NFIP will refund the premium paid for the current policy year,
provided that no claim is pending or has been paid on the policy during the current policy year. The
property owner must provide a written waiver of the insurance requirement from the lender to the property
insurance agent or company servicing his or her policy. The agent or company will then process the
refund request.
Even though structures are not located in an SFHA, as mentioned above, they could be flooded by a
flooding event with a greater magnitude than the base flood. In fact, more than 25 percent of all claims
paid by the NFIP are for policies for structures located outside the SFHA in Zones B, C, X (shaded), or X
(unshaded). More than one-fourth of all policies purchased under the NFIP protect structures located in
these zones. The risk to structures located outside SFHAs is just not as great as the risk to structures
located in SFHAs. Finally, approximately 90 percent of all federally declared disasters are caused by
flooding, and homeowners insurance does not provide financial protection from this flooding. Therefore,
FEMA encourages the widest possible coverage under the NFIP.
