SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before November 16, 2010.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
On September 8, 2009, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 74 FR 46047. The table provided here represents the flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and modified elevations, and communities affected for York County, Maine (All Jurisdictions). Specifically, it addresses the following flooding sources: Atlantic Ocean, Bonny Eagle Pond, Cape Porpoise Harbor, Cleaves Cove, Coffin Brook, Coffin Brook Tributary 1, Driscoll Brook, Ferguson Brook, Goosefare Brook, Great East Lake, Jones Brook (backwater effects from Scarborough River), Keay Brook, Kennebunk River, Little Ossipee River, Little River, Little River (backwater effects from Scarborough River), Mill Brook (backwater effects from Scarborough River), Mousam River, Mulloy Brook, Piscataqua River, Portsmouth Harbor, Province Lake, Saco River, Salmon Falls River, Sampson Cove, Spruce Creek, Stump Pond, The Pool, Worster Brook, and Worster Brook Tributary 3.
SUMMARY:
Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a). These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. Corrections
In the proposed rule published at 74 FR 46047 in the September 8,
2009, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table entitled ``York County, Maine (All
Jurisdictions)'' addressed the following flooding sources: Atlantic
Ocean, Cape Porpoise Harbor, Cleaves Cove, Coffin Brook, Coffin Brook
Tributary 1, Driscoll Brook, Ferguson Brook, Goosefare Brook, Keay
Brook, Kennebunk River, Little River, Mulloy Brook, Piscataqua River
(Town of Kittery), Portsmouth Harbor, Saco River, Sampson Cove, Spruce
Creek, The Pool, Worster Brook, and Worster Brook Tributary 3. That
table contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced
elevations, effective and modified elevations in feet, or communities
affected for the flooding sources ``Little River'' and ``Piscataqua
River.'' In addition, it did not include the following flooding
sources: Bonny Eagle Pond, Great East Lake, Jones Brook (backwater
effects from Scarborough River), Little Ossipee River, Little River
(backwater effects from Scarborough River), Mill Brook (backwater
effects from Scarborough River), Mousam River, Piscataqua River (Town
of Eliot), Province Lake, Salmon Falls River, and Stump Pond. In this
notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate information,
to address these prior errors. The information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously published.
