 The Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) objected to the construction of the Creek Turnpike in a letter dated January 30 , 1990 . FEMA felt that documentation on how the project would affect the floodplains in the area was lacking , preventing local authorities from requesting updates to floodplain maps , which were necessary to keep their communities enrolled in flood insurance programs . OTA 's attorney stated that the requisite information had been provided to local officials , and it was not OTA 's responsibility to ensure that they forwarded the information on to FEMA .
