Dear Mayor Driscoll:
In a Letter of Map Revision(LOMR)dated March 1, 2017,you were notified of proposed flood hazard
determinations affecting the Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM)and Flood Insurance Study(FIS)report
for the City of Salem, Essex County,MA.These determinations were for Atlantic Ocean via Salem
Harbor-an area from the confluence of Forest River to just downstream of Mill Street and on both sides
of Canal Street; and Forest River-an area within the City of Salem only and from approximately 310 feet
downstream of Route 114 to approximately 4,540 feet upstream of Loring Avenue and a small area
seaward of Belleau Road and Hemenway Road. The 90-day appeal period that was initiated on March
16,2017,when the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA)published a notice of proposed Flood Hazard Determinations in The Salem News has elapsed.
FEMA received no valid requests for changes to the modified flood hazard information. Therefore,the
modified flood hazard information for your community that became effective on July 14,2017,remains
valid and revises 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 XIII 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 flood
hazard information to carry out the floodplain management regulations for the NFIP. The modified flood
hazard information will also be used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for 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 contact the Mitigation Division Director,FEMA Region 1, in Boston,
Massachusetts either by telephone at(617) 832-4712, or in writing at 99 High Street,Boston,
Massachusetts, 02110.
