Inquiry

For part (a), if the city or region is not mapped by FEMA, can maps provided by local or regional authorities substitute?

Ruling

If the project site is not identified on a FEMA floodplain map, local or state flood maps may be used on the following conditions: 1) the map characterizes the floodplain for a 100-year (or greater) flood; and 2) the map shows natural floodplains, not accounting for engineered flood management systems (e.g. levees). Projects may not earn this credit if they are located under the 100-year floodplain, even if the flood risks are mitigated.
