Dear Mayor Lewis:
In a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) dated April 22, 2009, you were notified of proposed modified flood
elevation determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
report for the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, California. These determinations were for Calavera
Creek-. from just upstream of confluence with Agua Hedionda Creek to approximately 3,700 feet upstream
of the confluence; and Detention Basin BiB - from approximately 600 feet northeast of the intersection of
Don Carlos Drive and Don Juan Drive to approximately 1,400 feet northeast of the intersection. The 90-
day appeal period that was initiated on May 8, 2009, when the 'Department of Homeland Security's Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a notice of proposed Base Flood Elevations (BFEs)
in the North County Times, has elapsed.
FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified BFEs. Therefore, the modified BFEs that
became effective on September 8, 2009,' remain valid and revise the FIRM and FIS report that were in
effect prior to that date.
The modifications are pursuant to Section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public
Law 93-234) and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (Title Xffl
of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, Public Law 90-448),42 U.S.C.,4001-4128, and 44
CFR Part 65. The community number(s) and suffix code(s) are unaffected by this revision. The
community number and appropriate suffix code as shown above will be used by the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) for all flood insurance policies and renewals issued for your community.
FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management as, required under the above-mentioned Acts of
1968 and 1973. To continue participation in the NFIP, your community must use the modified BFEs to
carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified BFEs will also be used to •
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates Tor all new buildings and their contents.and for the
second layer of insurance on existing buildings and their contents.
If you have any questions regarding the necessary floodplain management measures for your community or the
NFIP in general, please call the Director, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Oakland, California at
(510)627-7103.
