§ 18.12.030. Rules for interpretation of floodplain district boundaries.

Latest version.

The boundaries of the one-hundred-year [floodplain] shall be determined by scaling distances on the official floodplain maps and using the floodway data table contained in the flood insurance study report. The maps may be used as a guide for determining the one-hundred-year floodplain boundary, but the exact location of the floodplain boundary shall be determined where the base flood elevation intersects the natural ground. For AH and AO Zone floodplains, where there is a conflict between a mapped floodplain boundary and actual field conditions, the floodplain administrator may interpret the location of the one-hundred-year floodplain boundary based on field conditions or available historical flood information. Any person contesting the location of the floodplain or floodway boundary may present his case and submit his own technical evidence to the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation in accordance with appeals procedures established by that agency.
