<br />Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners [April 2003] <br /> <br />. Areas where mapped flood hazards do not match those shown on contiguous FIRMs <br />(unless those FIRMs are not considered to be accurate); and <br /> <br />. Areas where flood data (i.e., BFEs, floodplains, regulatory floodways) are likely to be <br />changed the most by a restudy. <br /> <br />1.3.2.3 Refinements to Draft Scope of Project <br /> <br />[February 2002] <br /> <br />The FEMA Lead shall present the draft Scope of Project. Attendees shall review and refme each <br />section during the meeting, as discussed below. <br /> <br />Review and Refinement of Proiect Area <br /> <br />Based on the discussion of mapping needs, the Project Team shall fmalize the areas to be <br />included in the project. Areas to be studied by detailed and approximate methods are to be <br />identified, including areas not previously studied that are known by community officials to be <br />floodprone. The scoping maps can be helpful in these efforts. <br /> <br />Review and Refinement of Flood Hazard Identification Methodoloaies <br /> <br />The Project Team shall discuss the extent of riverine or coastal modeling required for the project. <br />The Pwjed Team :shall review re:sealch cumpleted during the pre-Scoping Meeting phase to <br />determine the extent and applicability of previous modeling. Attendees, when appropriate, shall <br />provide any models or computations they have prepared that could be used in the project. The <br />technical methodologies presented in the draft Scope of Project. Issues to be discussed include <br />the following: <br /> <br />. Models to be used from the FEMA approved models list; <br /> <br />. Requirements for tie-ins to adjacent NFIP maps; <br /> <br />. Areas where complex models might be required to reflect shallow flooding, alluvial fan <br />flooding, or ice-jam flooding; <br /> <br />. Use of future-conditions hydrologic analysis; and <br /> <br />. Coordination on coastal issues. <br /> <br />Review and Refinement of Data Collection Needs and Methods <br /> <br />The FEMA Lead shall discuss the availability and accuracy of existing topographic data, which <br />shall be provided during the Scoping Meeting, if possible. The vertical and horizontal datums <br />shall be included in these discussions. If existing topographic data are not sufficient, options for <br />aerial data collection shall be discussed, including traditional aerial photogrammetry and new <br />remote-sensing technologies, such as Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems. <br /> <br />1-46 <br /> <br />Section 1.3 <br />
