A. Background
6. As-built Plans
Design analyses were provided in the Application for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision. Thc
structure has been built in accordance with those specifications. Therefore, thc analyses have not
been provided again.
B. Design Criteria
lb. Design Parameters
The following water levels and associated wave heights and periods were used in the design:
Water level (feet NGVD) Maximum Wave Height (feet) [ Period (seconds)
100-year storm +10.0 15.61 t 5.62
Mean low water -0.9 12.56 5.62
Critical water level +3.0 15.61 5.62
The structural stability of the bulkhead has been investigated with respect to the design wave forces.
It was determined that the wave forces were not the controlling condition in the bulkhead design.
Normal live load conditions govern the design of the bulkhead. As such, the bulkhead will resist the
forces, associated with the 100-year storm condition.
5. Backfill Protection
The entire area upland of the bulkhead will be paved to prevent erosion. Drainage is provided to
control surface water on the upland surface.
9. Ice and Impact Alignment
Impact of floating objects are incidental to the design.

Dear Mr. Brown:
This letter is in reference to a May 17, 2002, letter from Mr. Stanley White, P.E., President, Ocean
and Coastal Consultants, Inc., requesting a conditional Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the
proposed expansion of the Fishers Island Ferry terminal along New London Harbor/Thames River.
The proposed project, which will be located approximately 500 feet west of the intersection of
Water Street and State Street, will consist of the construction of a continuous steel sheetpile
bulkhead, as well as the placement of fill. The area of the proposed project is shown on Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) number 090100, panel 0001 C, dated August 19, 1985.
We received the following teclmical data, prepared by Ocean and Coastal Consultants, Inc., unless
otherwise noted, in support of this request:
Coastal Hazard Analysis Modeling Program (CHAMP), input and output files,
dated August 21, 2002, for 2 transects along the project site;
an Automated Coastal Engineering System analysis of the 1% armual chance
(100-year) wave conditions at the site;
an analysis of wave forces acting on the bulkhead during the 100-year and breaking
wave conditions;
a structural stability analysis of the proposed bulkhead, prepared by Gibble Norden
Champion Brox~m Consulting Engineering, Inc., dated August 1, 2002;
design calculations for the temporary wave barrier, dated April I0, 2002, revised
August 20, 2002;
a certified topographic map, titled Revised Flood Hazard Zones on Proposed Site
Plan, dated April 12, 2002, revised August 20, 2002, at a scale of 1 "=30', ~vith a
contour interval of I foot, referenced to National Geodetic Vertical Datmm of 1929
(NGVD 29), reflecting the proposed site plan and locations and alignments of
transects used in the aforementioned CHAMP modeling, and proposed
modifications to the flood hazard zone designations and Base (1% annual chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs);
a certified topographic survey, titled Topographic Survey, dated April 4, 2002, at a
scale of 1 "=40', with a contour interval of 1 foot and spot elevations, referenced to

NGVD 29, reflecting existing conditions at the project site, prepared by Resource
Management and Mapping; and
annotated portions of FIRM number 090100, panel 0001 C, dated August 19, 1985,
showing the proposed flood hazard zone designations and BFEs.
In addition to the aforementioned technical data, we received the following documentation in
support of this request:
a letter from Mr. Joshua Y. Horton, Super~'isor for the Town of Southold,
New York, dated April 30, 2002, acknowledging the proposed increases in the
1% annual chance floodplain and BFEs on the property;
a letter from Ms. Azure Dee Emerle, of Ocean and Coastal Consultants, Inc.,
dated August 5, 2002, stating that the increased BFEs at the project site are not a
result of the proposed bulkhead, but rather more detailed and up-to-date analyses;
and
completed application/certification for~ns, including community concurrence with
the request.
We received all data necessary to process this request by August 23, 2002.
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 FIRM, for your community wSll be warranted. This
revision will show a change in the flood hazard zone designations and BFEs both seaward and
landward of the proposed bulkhead as follows:
a portion of the area currently designated as Zone V9 with a BFE of 12 feet
NGVD 29, will be revised to Zone A9 with a BFE of 12 feet NGVD 29; and
a portion of the area currently designated as Zone A7 x~,ith a BFE of 10 feet
NGVD 29 will be revised to Zone A9 with a BFE of 12 feet NGVD 29.
Future revisions to the FIRM, or restudies of the flood hazards in this area, could modify this
determination.
We based this determination on the 1% annual chance stillwater elevations published in the
February 19, 1985, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for the City of Nexv London, Connecticut. A
comprehensive restudy of your community's flood hazards will consider any changes to flood
hazard conditions subsequent to the publication of the FIS for the City of New London,
Connecticut, and the flood hazards shown in the FIS and FIRM could be increased.
Your community must approve all proposed floodplain development, including this proposed
project, and ensure that permits required by other Federal agencies and/or State and local
agencies have been obtained. State and/or community officials may set standards for
construction that are more restrictive than the minimum NFIP standards or may limit
development in floodplains, based on knowledge of local conditions and in the interest of safety.

Upon completion of the proposed project, your community should request a revision to the FIRM.
The revision request should be submitted to our Regional Office hi Boston, Massachusetts, and
include the data listed below.
Evidence ofcomplim~ce with NF1P regulations Paragraph 65.4(b), which states that
"all requests for changes to effective maps.., must be made in v~Titing by the
community's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or an official designated by the CEO.
Should the CEO refuse to submit such a request on behalf of another party, we will
agree to review the request only if wTitten evidence is provided indicating the CEO
or designee has been requested to do so."
2. As-built plans of the project, certified by a registered professional engineer.
3. CHAMP modeling of as-buih conditions, in digital and hard cop3, format.
Wave runup and overtopping calculations based on procedures outlined in the U.S.
Am~y Corps of Engineers' Shore Protection Manual, dated 1984, and FEMA's
documeot, titled Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mappin~ Partners,
,_Appendix D: Guidance for Coastal Floodin~ Analyses and Mapping, dated
February 2002.
A certified topographic map of thc entire area of revisiou, reflecting the locations of
transects used in the aforementioned CHAMP modeling. This map should also
include the proposed flood hazard zone boundaries. Please showthis information
on a map of suitable scale and topographic definition to provide reasonable
accuracy.
A copy of the City of New London FIRM number 090100, panel 0001 C, dated
August 19, 1985, at FIRM scale of 1"=500', annotated to show the proposed
revisions to the flood hazard zone designations and BFEs. The proposed flood
hazard zone designations and BFEs must tie-in to the effective flood hazard zone
designations and BFEs at the limits of the area of revision.
For coastal structures to be recognized as reducing flood hazards, they must be
maintained in accordance with an officially adopted operation and maintenance
plan. The owner of the bulkhead system must provide a copy of this plan to us
when recognition is being sought or when the plan for a previously recognized
system is revised in any manner. This plan must document the formal procedure to
maintain the bul 'khead and its associated structures and systems.
Evidence of compliance with NFIP regulations Paragraph 65.10(d) which states
that "all maintenance activities must be under the jurisdiction of a Federal or State
agency, an agency created by Federal or State law, or an agency of a community
participating in the NFIP that must assume ultimate responsibility for
maintenance."
If the project is built as proposed, you do not have to resubmit items 3 and 4; otherwise, please
resubmit them.

comprehensive floodplain management criteria, those criteria take precedence over the minimum
NFIP requirements.
NFIP regulations Section 65.3 states that when a community's BFEs increase or decrease because
of physical changes that affect flooding conditions, the community must submit technical or
scientific data to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that substantiate these
changes. Your community must submit such data as soon as possible, but no later than 6 months
after such data become available, so that FEM,~ can base flood insurance premium rates and
floodplain management requirements on the most up-to-date and accurate information available.
Your conununity must meet the criteria of NFIP regulations Subparagraphs 65.5(a)(4) or
65.6(a)(14), which require that the conm~unity's NFIP permit official or an), community official
having authority for floodplain management, provide xwitten assurance that the community has
complied with the appropriate minimum floodplain management requirements under NFIP
regulations Section 60.3, which includes the requirements that:
residential structures built or substantially improved in the 1% annual chance
floodplain have their lowest floor elevated to or above the BFE;
the participating community has determined that the land and any existing or
proposed structures to be removed from the 1% annual chance floodplain are
reasonably safe from flooding and that the community has on file, available upon
request, all supporting analyses and documentation used to make that
determination;
the participating community has issued p~mfits for all proposed construction or
other proposed development; and
all necessary permits have been received from those governmental agencies where
approval is required by Federal, State, or local law.
We remind you of the elevation and floodproofing requirements contained in NFIP regulations
Subparagraphs 60.3(c)(2) through (4). These requirements apply to the construction of new
residential and nonresidential structures, as well as to the substantial improvement of existing
structures, located within the 1% annual chance floodplain. In accordance with Subparagraphs
65.5(a)(3) and 65.5(a)(4)(i), for a structure to be removed from the 1% annual chance floodplain,
the lowest adjacent grade (the lowest ground touching the structure) of the structure must be at or
above the BFE, and a completed community acknowledgment form must be submitted, which is
FEMA's assurance that all appropriate Federal, State, and local requiremems regarding the fill
placement have been met.

We have enclosed a copy of our application/certification fonns for your reference. Typically, we
do not require these forms if the project is completed as proposed. The enclosed document, titled
Requirements for Submitting Application/Certification Fom~s to Support Requests for NFIP Map
Revisions. describes in detail the circumstances under which the fom~s are required.
The NFIP is primarily funded by policyholders, not taxes. We recover costs associated with
reviewing and processing requests for revisions to published FISs and FIRMs to mininfize the
financial burden on the policyholders. The re{5 for an as-built LOMR request in follow-up to this
conditional LOMR is $3,800, which we must receive before we can begin processing. This fee
represents the fee schedule which became effective September 1,2002. Please note that the fees
are subject to change, and the fee for the follow-up LOMR may change between the date of this
letter and the date that the follow-up LOM~R is submitted. If items 3 and 4 listed above must be
resubmitted, the processing fee could be higher. Your payment must be a check or money order
made payable to the National Flood Insurance Program and should be forwarded to:
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Fee Charge System Administrator
P.O. Box 3173
Merrifield, Virginia 22216
Once we receive the processing fee and the items listed above, complete our reviexv, and verify that
the completed project meets all applicable NFIP standards, we will revise 3'our community's FIRM
to incorporate the effects of the completed project, as appropriate.
Part 65 of the enclosed NFIP regulations further describe;s the data needed to support a request to
revise a FIRM. Your compliance with the criteria outlined in the NFIP regulations will streamline
our review, allowing us to expeditiously rex. tse your conunumty s FIR/vi.

The Fishers Island Ferry District will be responsible for complying with the maintenance and operations
plans for the proposed bulkhead modifications. The Fishers Island Ferry District will review inspection
reports and take appropriate actions to ensure the bulkhead functions as designed to maintain the revised
flood zones of the area.

Re: Maintenance Program, Fishers Island Ferry District Terminal

It is our understanding that the Fishers Island Ferry District (FWD) of the Town of
Southold, New York has applied to FEMA for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) based on the proposed expansion of the ferry terminal and construction of a
new bulkhead. One condition of the approval of the modification is that the Fishers
Island Ferry District develop a maintenance program for the bulkhead. The maintenance
program is to be overseen by a government agency.
The Toxvn of Southold is willing to oversee the maintenance program for the Fishers
Island Ferry District (FIFD) terminal. The To~qa of Southold will reviexv inspection
reports and recommendations made by an engineering hired by the FWD.
Based on these facts, if maintenance and reconunendations made by an engineer hired by
FIFD, are not carried out, the City of New London will notify FEMA that the necessary
maintenance/repairs have not been completed.
