This chapter’s protection standard is the regulatory flood and floodway limits. The best available regulatory flood data is listed below. Whenever a party disagrees with the best available data, the party submitting the detailed engineering study shall have a duty to replace existing data with correct data and submit it to the Department of Natural Resources for review and approval.
(A) The regulatory flood elevation and the floodway limits of the town shall be as delineated on the 100-year flood profiles in the Flood Insurance Study of the county and incorporated areas dated 11-19-1997 and the corresponding FIRM maps dated 11-19-1997 prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
(B) The regulatory flood elevation for each SFHA delineated as an “AH Zone” or “AO Zone” shall be that elevation (or depth) delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map of the county and incorporated areas dated 11-19-1997.
(C) The regulatory flood elevation and the floodway limits for each of the remaining SFHAs delineated as an “A Zone” on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the county and incorporated areas shall be according to the best available data as provided by the Department of Natural Resources.
(D) The regulatory flood elevation and floodway limits for the SFHAs of those parts of unincorporated county that are within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the town or that may be annexed into the town shall be as delineated on the 100-year flood profiles in the Flood Insurance Study of the county and incorporated areas dated 11-19-1997 and the corresponding FIRM prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. If the SFHA is delineated as “AH Zone” or “AO Zone”, the elevation (or depth) will be delineated on the FIRM for the county and incorporated areas dated 11-19-1997. If the SFHA is delineated as “Zone A” on the County Flood Insurance Rate Map FIRM for the county and incorporated areas, the regulatory flood elevation and floodway limits shall be according to the correct data available as provided by the Department of Natural Resources.
