(44 CFR 65.10)
We, the undersigned,.have received the letter from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) dated
March 2, 2012, and the enclosed document entitled "Requirements of 44 CFR 65.10." We understand that
FEMA is in the process of providing an updated flood map, termed a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), for
Nueces County, Texas and that the area behind the levee known as Corpus Christi Flood Protection System
will be remapped to reflect that the levee has been designated as a PAL.
To the best of our knowledge, the levee known as Corpus Christi Flood Protection System meets the
requirements of 44 CFR 65.10 and has been maintained in accordance with an adopted operation and
maintenance plan as evidenced by the attached plan and records of levee maintenance and operation, as well as
tests of the Mechanized interior drainage systems, if applicable. We hereby submit to FEMA, within 90 days
(before May 29, 2012) our agreement to provide FEMA with necessary data and documentation to show that
the levee known as Corpus Christi Flood Protection System complies with 44 CFR 65.10. We understand
that the data and documentation will be required before May 29, 2014. This information will allow FEMA to
move forward with the FIRM for Nueces County, Texas. We fully understand that if complete data and
documentation to comply with 44 CFR 65.10 are not provided within the designated timeframe of 24 months,
FEMA will initiate a revision to the FIRM to redesignate the areas as Special Flood Hazard Area, the area
subject to inundation by the base (1- percent - annual- chance) flood.
