<br />Provisions have been made in the National Flood Insurance Program which <br />recognize the historic character of an area and allow for variances to be <br />issued by a canmuni ty for the "reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration <br />of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a State <br />Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth..." <br />(Federal Emergency Management, Agency, 1984b). This provides that a building <br />listed on the National Register or State Inventory which is damaged in a <br />flood may be rebull t in the same location regardless of the degree of damage <br />and whether or not the proper'ty is located in either the floodway or <br />floodfringe. Whether listed individually or as contributing to an historic <br />district, buildings on the National Register of Historic Places have the <br />same status (Abele, 1985) and would all be subject to the variance discussed <br />above. However, if a structure receives damage to an extent greater than <br />50$ and is consequently rebuilt, its historic character may be questioned. <br />The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation would then have to determine <br />on an individual basis whether the property and structure should be retained <br />on the National Register. <br /> <br /> <br />~y,' <br />V ,. <br />" <br />-, <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />Figure 10.
