All new countywide FIRM production will be in Map Initiatives Format (see FEMA's Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix K, Section 1.4 [April 2003]) utilizing digital production techniques to create a new Digital FIRM (DFIRM). In general, countywide mapping must provide seamless coverage within the entire county area. To accommodate this effort, all new panels must be mapped using the same control and grid system as the USGS 7.5 minute quad map. The largest scale DFIRM in this format will be 1 "==2000', which is equivalent to one standard 7.5 minute series quad map. To accommodate smaller scales and more detailed studies, these panels can be further divided info 1 "==1 000' or 1 "==500' scale maps. The proposed DFIRM panel scale is determined from the effective scale of the FIRMs within the county and communities. When the scales do not match, the proposed DFIRM scale will be based on the closest current standard scale (i.e. an effective map at 1 "==400' will be mapped at 1 "==500' scale). A 1 "==1 000' scale is proposed for all communities that were previously unmapped. The proposed panel layout will be finalized during the Scoping Meeting. 7. Leverage Report As part ofFEMA's Map Modernization Plan, a leverage report template has been included in the Pre-Scoping report to document information that will be provided by the community or county. The actual dollar values included in this report are government Blue Book values and not the actual values expended by the community or county in developing the information. This report will be populated at the scoping meeting and as this study progresses, there is a potential that additional leverage will be identified and added to the report. The Leverage Report is provided in Appendix G. 8. Potential Obstacles The potential obstacles for this project will be determined at the scoping meeting. A potential obstacles form is included in Appendix H for reference. 10
