This project is being built as part of a new combined cycle 300 MW gas fired power plant for the City of Austin, Texas. In order to prevent flooding of this site from Onion Creek a levee has been built. Existing floodplain maps do not show this levee. Upon request of the civil engineers on this project FEMA has issued a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) in which they state: "We have reviewed the submitted data and determined that the proposed project meets the minimum floodplain management criteria of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). If the project is built as proposed, a revision to the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and FIRM, for your community will be warranted...." In the case that the floodplain map is not updated before the project is complete, will we meet the floodplain requirement of SS Credit 1 if we provide a copy of this Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR)?
