<br />Guide For Approximate Zone A Areas <br /> <br />Obtaininq BFEs <br /> <br />and bridge construction, in which BFE data may have been <br />developed for these projects. In general, when calling these <br />agencies, the caller should ask for a copy of any back-up data <br />(reports, computations, computer models, maps) associated with <br />a FLOODPLAIN STUDY or DRAINAGE STUDY, for the area of the <br />particular stream of interest. In addition, some state <br />agencies, such as a Department of Natural Resources, may <br />maintain historic lake level data. <br /> <br />The local public works department or the local transportation <br />department may have developed flood data in designing sewer <br />and storm drainage systems and local roads. For example, <br />plans for a sanitary sewer line which runs parallel to the <br />stream and area of interest may have 100-year flood elevations <br />on the profile of the sanitary sewer. Also, if there are <br />culverts or bridges which cross the same stream within 1,000 <br />feet of the area of interest, there may be hydrologic and <br />hydraulic information pertaining to the 100-year flood <br />discharge and elevation which may be pertinent to the site. <br />Finally, if there are any nearby residential or commercial <br />developments along the same stream, the development (site) <br />plans for these projects may also include information about <br />the 100-year flood. <br /> <br />Other possible sources of data include regional organizations, <br />such as Flood Control Districts, Levee Improvement Districts, <br />Watershed Districts, or Soil and Water Conservation Districts. <br />These organizations may have developed flood profiles for <br />smaller streams or for reaches of streams impacted by flood <br />control or drainage projects. <br /> <br />state Aqencies: <br />Departments of Environmental Conservation <br />Departments of Environmental Protection <br />Departments of Floodplain Management <br />Departments of Natural Resources <br />Departments of Transportation <br />Departments of Water Resources <br />Geological Survey <br /> <br />Local or Reqional Aqencies: <br />Flood Control Districts <br />Levee Improvement Districts <br />Local Planning Commissions <br />Local Public Works Departments <br />Municipal utility Districts <br />River Basin Commissions <br />Water Control Boards <br /> <br />A partial list of Federal and State agencies is provided in <br />Appendix 3. <br /> <br />IV-5 <br />
