In addition, adequate drainage paths are required to <br />guide floodwaters around and away from the structure; therefore the structure should be on an elevated pad within <br />the sheetflow flooding area. Because this area is subject to sheetflow flooding and the elevation of the lowest <br />adjacent grade to the structure is not above the highest surrounding grade by an amount equal to or greater than <br />the depth shown on the effective NFIP map, and because adequate drainage paths to guide floodwaters around <br />and away from the structure have not been provided, the structure is in the SFHA and flood insurance is required. <br /> <br />This attachment provides additional information regarding this request If you have any questions about this attachment. please contact the <br />FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877-FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the Federal Emergency Management <br />Agency, 3601 Eisenhower Avenue, Suite 130, Alexandria. VA 22304-6439. <br /> <br />U/~ If ~ II- <br /> <br />William R. Blanton Jr., CFM. Chief <br />Engineering Management Branch <br />
