§ 151.076 DETERMINING FLOOD ELEVATIONS.

(A) All development requires a determination of the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Exceptions to this requirement include projects that restore the site to the previous cross-sectional area, such as shore stabilization or culvert replacement projects. Base Flood Elevations (BFE) may be found using best available data from any federal, state, or other source (including MNDNR’s Lake & Flood Elevations Online (LFEO) Viewer).

(B) The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE) can be determined by assuming a one-half foot stage increase to accommodate for future cumulative impacts.
