2 Due to present funding constraints, FEMA must limit the number of physical FIS and FIRM revisions processed. Consequently, we will not republish the FIS and FIRM for the City of San Marcos to reflect the determination made by this LOMR. However, should your community's FIS and FIRM warrant a physical revision and republication in the future, the determination in this LOMR will be incorporated at that time. In addition to the changes made by this LOMR, it has corne to our attention that due to a cartographic error, an area of 500-year flooding was left unscreened on panel 0010 D of the September 5, 1990 FIRM. This area, which lies between Purgatory Creek and Willow Springs Creek, is shown in green on the enclosed annotated panel and will be corrected at the next physical map revision processed for panel 0010 D. Since this LOMR will not be printed and distributed to primary map users such as local insurance agents and mortgage lenders, the community will serve as a repository for this new data. We encourage you to disseminate widely through- out the community the information reflected by this LOMR in order that interested persons such as property owners, insurance agents and mortgage lenders may benefit from this information. We also encourage you to give consideration to preparing an article for publication in the community's local newspaper. This article should describe the changes that have been made and the assistance the community will provide in serving as a clearinghouse for this data and interpreting National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps. The maps as listed above and as revised by this letter should be used for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community. This determination has been made pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P. L. 93-234) and is in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, P.L. 90-448), 42 D.S.C. 4001-4128, and L~4 CFR Part 65. As required by this legislation, a co~unity must adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations in order to ensure continued eligibility to participate in the NFIP. Therefore, the City of San Marcos must enforce these regulations using, at a minimum, the elevations and zone designations in the 100-year floodplains as shown on your community's FIRM, including the modifi- cations made by this LOMR. A Consultation Coordination Officer has been designated to assist you with any problems you may have concerning this LOMR. This officer will be the primary FEMA contact for your community, and can be reached at the following address: Mr. Jim LeGrotte, Acting Chief FEMA, Natural & Technological Hazards Division Federal Regional Center 800 North Loop 288 Denton, Texas 76201-3698 (817) 898-9127
