Fee: None
A presubmission conference is an opportunity for applicants, developer(s) and/or
consultants to meet with city staff to discuss preliminary studies or sketches of a
proposed project. At the conference the staff will make available information relating
to the proposed development. The intent is to identify and eliminate as many
potential problems as possible in order for the project to be processed without delay.
The conference should take place prior to detailed work by an engineer or surveyor,
however a site drawing must be submitted that has sufficient information to allow for
evaluation. Discussion topics will include such things as Yelm's Comprehensive
Plan, street design, storm runoff and retention, Shoreline Master Program, zoning,
availability of sewer and water, development concepts, other requirements and
permits, and the environmental impact. Staff notes are prepared and available to
review. There is no charge for this meeting. Meetings are held each Wednesday.
This request form should be submitted by 5:00 p.m. at least one week before the
preferred meeting date.

Limited Scope Site Development Permit for Grading with Floodplain Compensation
Thurston County Parcel No. 227-19-240300
Our Job 1Vo. 12433
Dear Mr. Beck:
On behalf of Mr, Randy Weber, we are requesting a pre-submission meeting to process a Site
Development Permit (SDP) to conduct qradinq activities' on the site noted above. The proposad grading .
will modify the requlated floodplain so that the floodplain portion of the site is relocated to the west side of
the site coincident with Yelm Creek, and the non-floadplain area can be established at fhe east end of the
site that can be accessed from Rhoton Road. The praposal is to provide campensatory flood storage on
the site to ensure that the base flaod elevation is not increased. The folfowing items are enclosed for
your review:
1. Pre-submission Request Form
2. Preliminary Grading Plan for Flood Plain Compensation prepared by Barghausen Consulting
Engineers, Inc. dated March 27, 2Q'f3
3. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM} No. 53037 C 0353 E, effective date Octa6er 16,
2012, annotated
4. Email chain from Scott Spooner regarding his preliminary Habitat Assessment work to date
5. FEMA MT-1 Forms and fnstructions (Appfication Forms for Conditional and Final Letters of
Map Amendment and Letters of Map Revision Based on Fill)
We intend to follow the process outlined below to obtain the City of Yelm's approvaf as well as file a Letter
of Map Revision with Filf (LOMR-F) to EMA for the relocated ffoodpfain. If necessary, as a condition of
or prior to Yelm"s Site Development Permit (SDP) approval, we can fife a Conditionaf LOMR-F (CLOMR-
F}to FEMA prior to issuance of SDP so that City of Yelm has the assurance that FEMA wili approve the
LOMR-F upon compfetion of Yelm's SDP-approved grading activity.
Praposed process:
1. Submit Site Develapment Permit from the City of Yelm for grading to relocafe the ffoodplain
limits closer to Yelm Creek including the following materials:
Reference YMC 14.08.120.E.6

Mr. Grant Beck
c/o Ms. Karen Bennett
City of Yelm 2- March 28, 2013
a. Floodplain Habitat Assessment
b. Site and Grading Plans as listed in the SDP Checklist, limited to grading only
c. SEPA Environmental Checklist
d. Other documents as listed in the SDP Checklist as applicable for grading only
2. If necessary for City review and concurrent with Step 1 above, file a CLOMR-F with FEMA.
This will require the City's signature on the MT-1 Community Acknowledgement Form.
3. Complete grading activities on site consistent with the City of Yelm's SDP Permit and
Conditions of Approval.
4. File the Final LOMR-F to FEMA to revise the flood elevations for the site.
We believe that the process as noted will enable the City to review the proposed grading as a standalone
permitted action that will not trigger a variance or special approval. Grading actions such as that
proposed are allowed per Yelm Municipal Code 14.08.120.E.6.
Please schedule a meeting so that we can discuss this proposal in more detail. Thank you.
Respectfully,

Subject: RE:Yelm Property
Randy,
I discussed the Yelm project with my contact at WDFW. I anticipate the Action Area being approximately 1,600 feet
from the project site (potentially slightly larger depending on the type of construction equipment necessary to
implement the project). As we move forward, I would need for you to provide a detailed list of all tools and/or
equipment that would be needed to implement the project(excavators, dump trucks, any hand tools, etc.) in order for
me to finalize the noise analysis and define the Action Area.
Yelm Creek is documented to provide habitat to Chinook salmon, a federally protected fish species. However,the reach
of Yelm Creek that is mapped as providing that habitat for Chinook salmon is approximately 4,300 linear feet from the
project site (as the crow flies). Yelm Creek also provides presumed winter Steelhead trout habitat, and Steelhead trout
are a federally protected species. Due to the fact that this reach of Yelm Creek is presumed to provide habitat for winter
Steelhead trout but not summer Steelhead trout, we could likely mitigate for those issues by completing all project work
outside of the winter months. The only federally threatened or endangered bird species in Thurston County are the
marbled murrelet and spotted owl. No nest sites for either of these species are located near the project site, and the
closest nest sites are likely several miles away due to their habitat requirements so I have no concern about these
species.
In short, I don't have any concerns with respect to federally protected threatened or endangered species, and that is the
main intent of the FEMA Floodplain Habitat Assessment.
Let me know if you have any questions for me.
Thanks
Scott

Hi Randy. I conducted my site visit to the Yelm property on Monday as planned. I continued necessary research on the
property today related to the Floodplain Habitat Assessment. I have placed a call to one of my contacts at the
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and am now waiting on a return phone call from him. This step is
necessary so that he can provide me with supporting information related to the closest known breeding site for the only
2 bird species that are on the federal threatened and endangered species list and known to be located within Thurston
County. When completing these assessments, I contact him so he can tell me how far away the nearest known nest site
is for either of those species, and this always aids in a complete report to show that our project will have No Effect on
federally listed species.
1
I
i
Based on my site visit findings and research to date, I don't see anything that would preclude us from achieving a No
Effect determination on this project site with respect to the Floodplain Habitat Assessment, so that is good
news. Surprisingly,Yelm Creek was bone dry when I was on-site Monday, which is very strange for streams in Western
Washington during the month of February. This finding leads me to believe that groundwater fluctuations must cause
this reach of the stream to be dry for most of the year.
Anyway, I will back in touch with you once I hear back from the Biologist at the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife. Let me know if you have any questions at this point.
Thanks,
Scott

A. REQUESTS INVOLVING THE PLACEMENT OF FILL
As the community official responsible for floodplain management,I hereby acknowledge that we have received and reviewed this Letter of Map
Revision Based on Fill(LOMR-F)or Conditional LOMR-F request. Based upon the community's review,we find the completed or proposed project
meets or is designed to meet all ofthe community floodplain management requirements,including the requirement that no fill be placed in the
regulatory floodway,and that all necessary Federal,State,and local permits have been,or in the case of a Conditional LOMR-F,will be obtained.
For Conditional LOMR-F requests,the applicant has or will document Endangered Species Act(ESA)compliance to FEMA prior to issuance of the
Conditional LOMR-F determination.For LOMR-F requests,I acknowledge that compliance with Sections 9 and 10 of the ESA has been achieved
independently of FEMA's process.Section 9 of the ESA prohibits anyone from"taking"or harming an endangered species. If an action might harm
an endangered species,a permit is required from U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under Section 10 of the ESA.
For actions authorized,funded,or being carried out by Federal or State agencies,documentation from the agency showing its compliance with
Section 7(a)(2)of the ESA will be submitted.In addition,we have determined that the land and any existing or proposed structures to be removed
I
from the SFHA are or will be reasonably safe from flooding as defined in 44CFR 65.2(c),and that we have available upon request by DHS-FEMA,all

APPLICATION FORMS FOR CONDITIONAL AND FINAL
LETTERS OF MAP AMENDMENT AND LETTERS OF MAP REVISION BASED ON FILL
OMB Control Number i66o-ooi5. Expires Feb a8,zoi4
General Background Information
In 1968,the U.S.Congress passed the National Flood Insurance Act,which created the National Flood Insurance Program
NFIP).The NFIP was designed to reduce future flood losses through local floodplain management and to provide protection
for property owners against potential losses through an insurance mechanism that allows a premium to be paid for the
protection of those most in need.The creation of the NFIP represented a major shift in Federal strategy from previous
structural flood-control and disaster relief programs.
As part of the agreement for making flood insurance available to a community,the NFIP requires the community to adopt
floodplain management ordinances that meet certain minimum requirements intended to reduce future flood losses.The
community official or agency responsible for floodplain management in a community may be able to provide information
that would be useful to a requester.This official or agency usually is responsible for engineering, public works,flood
control,or planning in the community as well.
Use of Application Forms
The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)implemented the use of
application forms for requesting revisions or amendments to NFIP maps for two reasons. First, because the forms provide a
step-by-step process for requesters to follow and are comprehensive, requesters are assured of providing all of the
necessary information to support their requests without having to go through an iterative process of providing additional
information in a piecemeal fashion,which can result in a time-consuming and cost-intensive process.Second,use of the
forms ensures that the requesters'submissions are complete and more logically structured,and generally allows DHS-FEMA
to complete its review in a shorter timeframe.
The application forms included in this package were designed to assist requesters(community officials, individual property
owners,and others)in gathering the information DHS-FEMA needs to determine whether property(parcels of land or
structures)is likely to be flooded during the flood event that has a 1-percent-annual-chance of being equaled or exceeded
in any given year(base flood). Lands that are at risk of being inundated by the base flood are called Special Flood Hazard
Areas(SFHAs).
The forms in this package shall be used to request Letters of Map Amendment(LOMAs),Conditional Letters of Map
Amendment(CLOMAs), Letters of Map Revision Based on Fill (LOMR-Fs),and Conditional Letters of Map Revision Based on
Fill (CLOMR-Fs),as defined below. Please note that not all of the forms apply to every request.Only those forms that apply
to the request should be submitted.
LOMA A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has not been
elevated by fill(natural grade)would not be inundated by the base flood.
CLOMA A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that a proposed structure that is not to be elevated by fill(natural
grade)would not be inundated by the base flood if built as proposed.
LOMR-F A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that an existing structure or parcel of land that has been elevated
by fill would not be inundated by the base flood.
CLOMR-F A letter from DHS-FEMA stating that a parcel of land or proposed structure that will be elevated by
fill would not be inundated by the base flood if fill is placed on the parcel as proposed or the
structure is built as proposed.
I
If the request is being made for a LOMA to be issued on a single residential property,the MT-EZ form,entitled "Application
Form for Single Lot or Structure,Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program Maps," may be used instead of the
forms in this package. Forms for this purpose may be downloaded from our website at
http://www.fema.ov/plan/prevent/fhm/dl mt-ez.shtm.This form is available in both an English and Spanish version.
Instructions MT-1 Forms(086-0-26,086-0-26A,086-0-26B) FEB 11 1
A fast alternative to using the MT-1 application is eLOMA.eLOMA is a web-based application that provides licensed land
surveyors and professional engineers a system to submit simple LOMA requests to FEMA. Many LOMA requests can be
submitted to FEMA using eLOMA.You can find additional information about eLOMA, including the types of LOMA requests
that qualify for the eLOMA process,at http://hazards.fema.gov.
The forms in this package and the form entitled "Application Form for Single Lot or Structure,Amendments to National
Flood Insurance Program Maps,"shall not be used in the following instances:
Requests involving changes in Base Flood Elevations(BFEs);
Requests involving changes in regulatory floodway boundary delineations;
Requests for properties in alluvial fan areas;
Requests involving property and/or structures that have been elevated by fill placed within the regulatory
floodway,channelization projects,bridge/culvert replacement projects,or other flood control improvements;or
Requests involving changes in coastal high hazard areas(V zones).
For such requests,the community must submit the request to DHS-FEMA in accordance with Title 44, Chapter I,Code of
Federal Regulations(CFR), Part 65 of the NFIP regulations,which is available online at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx 02/44cfrvl 02.html,using the separately published MT-2 application forms
package entitled "Application Forms and Instructions for Conditional Letters of Map Revision and Letters of Map Revision."
Forms for this purpose may be downloaded from our website at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/dl mt-2.shtm.
Please note that the forms in this package may be used for property that has been inadvertently included in a V zone or the
regulatory floodway. However,if the property is to be removed from a V zone, it must not be located seaward of the
landward toe of the primary frontal dune.
For additional assistance in completing these forms,you may consult the LOMA Tutorial,available on DHS-FEMA's Internet
site at:http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ot Imreq.shtm.
Data Submission Requirements
In accordance with the NFIP regulations, DHS-FEMA will use the information provided by these application forms to make a
determination on whether a property(parcel(s)of land or a structure(s))is located within a designated SFHA. In certain
instances,additional data that are not referenced on these forms may be required.A DHS-FEMA representative will notify
the requester of any additional requirements.
DHS-FEMA encourages the submission of the required data in digital format(e.g.scanned documents on a CD).This may
help expedite the processing of your request.
Applicable Regulations
The regulations pertaining to LOMAs,CLOMAs, LOMR-Fs,and CLOMR-Fs are presented in Title 44,Chapter I,CFR, Parts 65
and 70,which is available online at http://www.access.po.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx 02/44cfrvl 02.html.The purpose of
Part 70 is to provide an administrative procedure whereby DHS-FEMA will review information submitted by an owner or
lessee of property who believes that their property has been inadvertently included in a designated SFHA. Part 70 provides
information about the technical difficulty of accurately delineating the SFHA boundaries on a NFIP map for a community.
i Part 70 procedures shall not apply if the topography has been altered to raise the original ground to or above the BFE since
the effective date of the first NFIP map [i.e.,a Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM)or Flood Hazard Boundary Map]showingI the property to be within the SFHA. Requests involving changes in topography(such as the placement of fill)are handled
under the procedures described in Part 65.

Fee Requirements
Title 44,Chapter I,CFR, Part 72 of the NFIP regulations,which is available online at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx 02/44cfrvl 02.html, presents information regarding the reimbursement
procedure initiated by DHS-FEMA to allow for the recovery of costs associated with the review of requests for CLOMAs,
I CLOMR-Fs,and LOMR-Fs via a review and processing fee.There is no review and processing fee for requests for
single/multiple, lot/structure LOMAs.
Revised fee schedules are published periodically, but no more than once annually,as a notice in the Federal Register. For
the most up-to-date fee schedule, please contact the DHS-FEMA Map Information eXchange(FMIX)toll free at 1-877-FEMA

Payment must be submitted in the form of a check or money order, made payable in U.S.funds to the National Flood
Insurance Program,or by credit card payment. In addition,the requester must complete the Payment Information Form.
The payment should be mailed together with the application and supporting data to the address listed in the Address for
Submitting Requests section of these instructions.
Basis of Determination
If no fill has been placed, DHS-FEMA's determination as to whether the SFHA designation may be removed from the
structure(s)on a property will be based on a comparison of the BFE with the elevation of the Lowest Adjacent Grade to the
structure(lowest ground touching the structure) including any attached decks or garage. If fill has been placed, DHS-FEMA's
determination will be based on a comparison of the BFE with the elevation of the lowest adjacent grade to the structure
lowest ground touching the structure) including any attached decks or garage and a completed Community
Acknowledgment Form (see instructions for the Community Acknowledgment Form [Form 3]for more information).
For DHS-FEMA to remove the SFHA designation from a legally defined property or portion of property that does not have a
structure on it,the elevation of the lowest ground on the property must be at or above the BFE.
Please note the following special considerations that may affect DHS-FEMA's determination:
In areas of shallow/sheet flooding(Zone AO),the elevation of the Lowest Adjacent Grade(including deck posts)of the
structure(s)must be above the surrounding grade by an amount equal to or greater than the depth shown on the
NFIP map.In addition,adequate drainage paths are required to guide floodwaters around and away from the
structure(s);the structure(s)should be on an elevated pad within the Zone AO area.With your application package,in
addition to elevation information regarding the structure(s),provide a map showing the topographic data of the
property and the immediate surrounding area,and the location of any structure(s)existing on the property(certified
by a registered professional engineer or licensed land surveyor)to demonstrate that the above criteria have been
I
met.
If the lowest floor of a building has been elevated on posts, piers,or pilings above the BFE and any portion of the
structure(i.e.,posts,pilings,or piers)is still below the BFE,the building will not be removed from the SFHA.
Response Timeframe
In accordance with the procedures of Title 44,Chapter I,CFR, Part 72,which is available online at
Ihttp://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx 02/44cfrvl 02.html, DHS-FEMA will notify the requester of the
determination in writing within 60 days of the date of receipt of all required data. Information about the status of active
Letter of Map Change(LOMC) requests is available from DHS-FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP)at
https://hazards.fema.ov.The MIP allows requesters to search Open LOMCs by entering their Project(Case) Number and
Project Type to find out the status of their request. From the MIP Home Page requesters should click on Tools&Links,

Effect on Insurance Purchase Requirements
Although DHS-FEMA may issue a LOMA or LOMR-F removing a structure(s)from the SFHA, it is the(ending institution's
prerogative to require flood insurance,as a condition of a loan,if it deems such action appropriate. Historically,about 25%
of all flood claims occur in areas outside of the SFHA. Property owners are strongly encouraged to convert their existing
policy, using the premiums already paid for that policy,to a lower-cost Preferred Risk Policy(PRP),which is available for
structures located outside the SFHA. For more information about the PRP,contact your agent or broker or visit
http://floodsmart.gov/prp.
If the lending institution agrees to waive the flood insurance purchase requirement for a structure,the property owner is
eligible for a full refund of the premium paid for the current policy year, provided that no claim is pending or has been paid
on the policy in question during the same policy year. If the property owner has been required to renew his or her policy
during a period when a revised NFIP map was being printed,the premium will be refunded for an additional year.To initiate
processing of the refund,the property owner should provide the LOMA or LOMR-F and evidence of the waiver of the flood
insurance requirement from the lending institution to the insurance agent or broker who sold the policy.
Conditional Determinations
To qualify for a CLOMA or CLOMR-F,the proposed project must meet the same criteria as those required for a LOMA or
LOMR-F.After construction is completed or fill is placed,certified as-built information must be submitted to DHS-FEMA for
a LOMA or LOMR-F to be issued.The NFIP regulations do not require that a CLOMA or CLOMR-F be requested and issued
for a proposed project.Check with local community officials to see if they are required.
Property owners and developers should note that a CLOMA or CLOMR-F does not remove the mandatory purchase of flood
insurance requirements, it merely provides comment on the proposed plan and does not revise or amend the NFIP map.
Once the project has been completed another application will have to be submitted with the as built conditions to receive a
LOMA or a LOMR-F which in turn removes the federal requirements for mandatory purchase of flood insurance. It also does
not relieve Federal agencies of the need to comply in carrying out their responsibilities for providing federally undertaken,
financed,or assisted construction and improvements or in their regulating and licensing activities, in accordance with the
provisions of Executive Order 11988(http://www.fema.gov/plan/ehp/ehplaws/eo11988.shtm).
Endangered Species Act Compliance
CLOMR-F applicants are responsible for documenting to FEMA that Endangered Species Act(ESA)compliance has been
achieved prior to FEMA's review of a CLOMR-F application. ESA compliance may be documented by submitting to FEMA a
copy of an Incidental Take Permit,an Incidental Take Statement, a "not likely to adversely affect"determination from the
National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS)or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS),or an official letter from NMFS or
USFWS concurring that the project has"No Effect"on proposed or listed species or designated critical habitat.The
applicant may begin by contacting a NMFS or USFWS office,State wildlife agency office,or independent bfologist to identify
whether threatened or endangered species exist on the subject property and whether the project associated with the
CLOMR-F request would adversely affect species or designated critical habitat.These entities are also available to discuss
questions pertaining to listed species and ESA compliance. If potential adverse impacts could occur,then NMFS or USFWS
may require changes to the proposed activity and/or mitigation.
For CLOMA, LOMA,and LOMR-F requests involving floodplain activities that have occurred already, private
individuals and local and state jurisdictions are required to comply with the ESA independently of FEMA's process.
These requests do not provide the same opportunity as CLOMR-Fs for FEMA to comment on the project because
CLOMAs and LOMAs do not involve a physical modification to the floodplain and because LOMR-Fs are issued only
after the physical action has been undertaken in the floodplain.
i Additional information about the ESA and these requirements is available on
http://www.fema.ov/library/viewRecord.do?id=4312 or by requesting a copy from the DHS-FEMA Map
Information eXchange(FMIX)toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP(1-877-336-2627).Although FEMA's staff is notII available to assist with this process, NMFS and the USFWS both have staff available around the country to answer
questions about threatened and endangered species and ESA compliance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE PROPERTY INFORMATION FORM (FORM 1)
General Instructions
The Property Information Form (Form 1) may be completed by the property owner,or on behalf of the property
owner by authorized persons including but not limited to;the property owner's agent, licensed land surveyor,or
registered professional engineer to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment(LOMA),Conditional Letter
of Map Amendment(CLOMA), Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill(LOMR-F),or Conditional Letter of Map
Revision Based on Fill (CLOMR-F)for existing or proposed,single or multiple lots/structures.
Before completing this form,the requester must obtain the following documents from the County/Parish Clerk,
Recorder,or Register of Deeds for the community:
A copy of the Deed for the property,showing the recordation information(e.g., Book/Volume and Page
numbers or pocument/Instrument number)containing the recorder's seal and recordation date,
accompanied by a tax assessor's or other suitable map showing the surveyed location of the property.
OR
A copy of the Plat Map for the property,showing the recordation information(e.g.,Book/Volume and Page
numbers or pocument/Instrument number)and containing the recorder's seal and recordation date.
The requester also must obtain a photocopy of the effective FIRM panel(including the Title Block)that shows the
area in which the property is located.The FIRM should be available at the community map repository or from the
community official or agency responsible for floodplain management. However,digital copies of the FIRM Index and
FIRM panels may be ordered from the Map Service Center(MSC),for a nominal fee.To place orders from the MSC,go
to their Internet site:http://www.msc.fema.gov.A FIRMette,which can be printed free of charge from the MSC
website, may be submitted in lieu of a photocopy of the FIRM.
This site allows requesters to search the MSC for maps and other technical data historically available from the MSC
online.Requesters can search by the three following criteria:Catalog, Map Search,and Quick Order.Catalog allows
requesters to search through the DHS-FEMA's Map Service Center for available data.Map Search allows requesters to
search for data available for an individually specified map area.Quick Order allows requesters to search and order
available data by specific FIRM panel or Community number.Payment must be in the form of a credit card.Visa,
MasterCard, Discover and American Express,are accepted.Requesters without Internet access should contact the
DHS-FEMA Map Information eXchange by calling 1-877-336-2627.They may fax their map order requests to the MSC
at 1-800-358-9620,
Requesters should note that for multiple property(structure or lot)requests,this form should only be completed
once to describe the entire project.One form for each lot is not necessary.
Specific Instructions
Basis of Request
Select the type of MT-1 Letter of Map Change(LOMC)being requested,by checking only one box. Next to each type
of LOMC a brief definition has been provided to assist the requester in making an informed selection.
Fill Placement
Fill is defined as material from any source(including the subject property)placed that raises the ground (natural
Igrade)
to or above the Base(1%-annual-chance) Flood Elevation (BFE).The common construction practice of
removing unsuitable existing material (topsoil)and backfilling with select structural material is not considered the
iplacement of fill if the practice does not alter the existing(natural grade)elevation,which is at or above the BFE.
Fill that is placed before the date of the first National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP)map showing the area in a
Special Flood Hazard Area is considered natural grade.The Special Flood Hazard Area(SFHA)is the area that
i would be inundated by the base flood.Assistance to ascertain if fill has been placed on your property may be
Instructions MT-1 Forrns(086-0-26,086-0-26A,086-0-26B) FEB 11 2
available from the community official or agency responsible for floodplain management.You may consult with the
community map repository to obtain previous editions of the NFIP map,archived topographic data,or
permit drawings related to construction on the site. If the structure footprint is located on ground higher than the
surrounding area,fill may have been placed.Additional sources for assistance would include the developer or
engineer/designer of the subdivision, previous owners of the site, persons who have owned or resided on adjacent
parcels,and large scale aerial photographs(check the tax assessor's office). In addition,digital copies of historic
NFIP maps may be available on DHS-FEMA's Map Service Center(MSC),for a nominal fee.To place orders from the
MSC, interested parties may visit the MSC website at http://www.msc.fema.ov.. For additional information
regarding historic maps,interested parties may contact the DHS-FEMA Map Information eXchange toll free,at 1-
877-FEMA MAP(1-877-336-2627).
Regardless of the type of LOMC being requested, DHS-FEMA must require the requester to clearly state,to the
best of his or her knowledge,whether fill was or was not placed on his or her property.The requester must select
either"yes"or"no." If fill was placed on the property,the requester must provide the month and year fill was
placed.
In addition,for proposed projects, DHS-FEMA requires the requester to clearly state whether fill will be placed on
his or her property. If fill will be placed,the requester must provide the month and year fill will be placed. In
addition,the applicant must then provide documentation to show that ESA compliance has been achieved.
Additional information about these requirements is available on Page 4 of this instruction packet.
Number 1-Street Address
Enter the street address(911 type)for the structure or property being reviewed (subject property). For requests
involving multiple lots,structures,or units,attach a separate piece of paper including all street addresses when
space is insufficient.
Number 2- Legal Description
Describe the property by referring to the Deed or Plat Map.The description may consist of a lot number and
subdivision name,a parcel number,a tract number,or any other information provided in the Deed or Plat to
identify the property(e.g. Lot 2, Block 1, Floodville Estates). It is not necessary to reproduce a lengthy description
of the property as it appears in the Deed.
Number 3-Subject of Determination
DHS-FEMA makes determinations on parcels of land or structures.The requester should select structure, portion
of a parcel,or a parcel of land. If the request is for a structure on a property,the date of construction must be
provided in this section. Date of construction information may usually be obtained from real estate settlement
documents,the property developer,or the local government office where real estate and/or land development
transactions are recorded. If there is more than one structure on a property,attach a separate piece of paper with
the dates of construction. If the request is for a portion of a parcel,a certified metes and bounds description and
map of the area to be removed,certified by a licensed land surveyor or registered professional engineer,are
required.The metes and bounds description must cover the specific area to be removed,and it must be tied to an
identifiable starting point. If the description is for a legally recorded lot or parcel,the metes and bounds
description should commence or begin at the lot or parcel corner. Metes and bounds descriptions must not
intersect or coincide with the footprint of an existing structure. Please see the example below for the preferred
format of inetes and bounds descriptions.
BEGINNING at the northeast lot corner;thence S16°42'22"E, 100.00 feet;thence S33°14'40"W,
145.92 feet;thence S89°13'29"W, 156.01 feet;thence N16°42'22"W,223.14 feet;thence 210.49
feet along a curve to the left having a radius of 542.00 feet to the POINT OF BEGINNING
DHS-FEMA encourages the submission of inetes and bounds descriptions in digital format on CD.This
may help expedite the processing of your request.

DHS-FEMA makes determinations on single or multiple, lots(parcels of land)or structures.Select the choice that
best describes your request.
Required Data
All requests must include the following data:
Property description documentation must be enclosed for every request and will consist of either the Plat
Map or Deed (containing the recorder's stamp and recordation date)accompanied by a tax assessor's map or
other suitable map showing the surveyed location of the property.The recordation data (e.g., Book,Volume,
Page, Reel, Document Number,and Date)must be evident on the copies of these documents so that DHS-
FEMA may use the legal description of the property. In addition, DHS-FEMA must be able to identify the
property exactly. If the property is not recorded on a Plat Map,a copy of a tax assessor's map or other suitable
map must be submitted to aid DHS-FEMA in locating the property.The map should include at least one street
intersection that is shown on the FIRM panel.
A photocopy of the effective FIRM panel,annotated to show where the property is located, must be
submitted for every request. If your community has a separate Flood Boundary and Floodway Map(FBFM),
please include a copy.The panel number and effective date of the FIRM must appear on the copy submitted.
The actual map or a photographic copy must be used.
The Elevation Form (Form 2) must be included for all requests,except requests for determinations in which
the FIRM already shows the property to be CLEARLY outside the SFHA. For cases in which the determination
for the property or structure is uncertain,elevation data must be submitted to provide a definitive determina-
tion.This form must be completed by a licensed land surveyor or registered professional engineer. If an NFIP
Elevation Certificate has been completed for a structure,it may be submitted in lieu of this form.The
Elevation Certificate must be certified by a licensed land surveyor or registered professional engineer.
The Community Acknowledgment Form(Form 3) must be included for all LOMR-F or CLOMR-F,or for LOMA
requests in which the property has been inadvertently included within the NFIP regulatory floodway. For
LOMR-F and CLOMR-F requests only Section A needs to be completed. For LOMA requests in which the
property has been inadvertently included within the regulatory floodway,only Section B needs to be
completed (see INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING OPTIONAL FORMS of these instructions for additional
information on the certification requirements of this form).
Documented ESA compliance must be submitted for CLOMR-Fs only.Appropriate documentation includes a
copy of an Incidental Take Permit,an Incidental Take Statement,a "not likely to adversely affect"
determination from NMFS or USFWS,or an official letter from NMFS or USFWS concurring that the project has
No Effect"on proposed or listed species or designated critical habitat.Additional information about these
requirements is available on Page 4 of this instruction packet.
Review and Processing Fee
The appropriate review and processing fee must be submitted for requests involving proposed projects and for
requests involving the placement of fill (e.g.,CLOMA, LOMR-F,or CLOMR-F).The Payment Information Form
should be included with the processing fee. No fee is required to obtain a determination based on existing
conditions(i.e. LOMA)as long as no fill has been placed. For the current fee schedule visits DHS-FEMA's Flood

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE ELEVATION FORM [FORM 2)
General Instructions
The Elevation Form(Form 2)must be completed by a licensed land surveyor or registered professional engineer
authorized by law to certify the information requested). If the request is to make a determination on the structure,
and an NFIP Elevation Certificate has already been completed for this property, it may be submitted in lieu of this
form. If the request is to make a determination on the entire legally recorded property,or a portion thereof,the
lowest lot elevation must be provided on Form 2. If the request is to have the SFHA designation determined for the
entire legally recorded property, but the only elevation provided is the Lowest Adjacent Grade to Structure,the
determination will be issued for the structure.
For a licensed land surveyor or registered professional engineer to complete this form, it will be necessary to obtain
the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM) panel,effective Flood Boundary and Floodway Map(FBFM) panel(if
printed),and Flood Insurance Study(FIS)report that cover the area in which the property is located.These can be
obtained from the community map repository or ordered from the Map Service Center(MSC),for a nominal fee.To
place orders from the MSC,go to their Internet site: http://www.msc.fema.gov.
The DHS-FEMA Map Service Center allows users, including homeowners,surveyors,and engineers,to search the
MSC for maps and other technical data.Searches can be conducted under the three following criteria: Catalog,
Map Search,and Quick Order.Catalog allows surveyors and engineers to search through the Map Service Center
for available data. Map Search allows surveyors and engineers to search for data available for an individually
specified map area.Quick Order allows surveyors and engineers to search available data by a specific FIRM panel
or Community number.All search criteria will allow surveyors and engineers to search desired data and add that
data to a "shopping cart"for later payment options. Payment must be in the form of a credit card.Visa,
MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted.
Surveyors and engineers that do not have Internet access should contact the DHS-FEMA Map Information
eXchange by calling 1-877-FEMA MAP(1-877-336-2627).They may fax their map order requests to the MSC at 1-
800-358-9620.

For additional information on reading FIRM panels you may consult the tutorial"How to Read a FIRM"on DHS-
FEMA's Internet site: http://www.fema.ov/media/fhm/firm/ot firm.htm.
Please note that,in some communities,the only NFIP maps available may be Flood Hazard Boundary Maps,
instead of FIRMs.
Number 2-Conditionals
Identify whether the elevations being provided are based on existing or proposed conditions.
Number 3-Type of Construction
If the request involves or will involve a structure, provide the type of construction.
Crawl Space—The bottom floor is below the first floor, is enclosed by solid and partial perimeter walls,
and may be above ground level (grade)on one or more sides.Spaces below ground level on all sides must
meet the requirements of FEMA Technical Bulletin 11-01.Spaces with a bottom floor elevation more than
2.0 feet below the Lowest Adjacent Exterior Grade(LAG)elevation will be classified as a basement,
Slab on Grade—The bottom floor is at or above ground level (grade)on at least one side.
Basement/Enclosure—The bottom floor(basement or underground garage)is below ground level (grade)
on all sides.See Crawl Space above.
Other—All other structure types not listed above including, but not limited to split levels,structures on
piers, mobile homes,etc, Please be as detailed as possible.
Number 4-Elevation Datum
Provide the elevation datum(e.g., NGVD 29, NAVD 88,or other specified)for which the property elevations shown
on the form are referenced. If the datum being referenced is different than the datum used to produce the
effective FIS, please provide the datum conversion. Please note that mean sea level datum (MSL)is used within the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and local tidal datum (LTD) is used within the U.S.Virgin Islands.
Number 5-Geographic Coordinate Data
The surveyor or engineer must provide the latitude and longitude of the property in decimal degrees to the 5th
decimal place(00.00000),and indicate the appropriate horizontal datum,WGS84, NAD83,or NAD27.
Number 6-Subsidence or Uplift
Land subsidence is the lowering of the ground as a result of water,oil,gas extraction,as well as other phenomena
such as soil compaction,decomposition of organic material,and tectonic movement. Periodically,the National
Geodetic Survey re-levels some benchmarks to determine new elevations above the National Geodetic Vertical
Datum of 1929(NGVD 29)or above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988(NAVD 88); however, not all
benchmarks are re-leveled each time.
Check"yes" if the area of the property is in an area of subsidence or uplift,and provide the date of the current re-
leveling;check"no" if the area of the property is not in an area of subsidence or uplift. In areas experiencing
ground subsidence(e.g., Harris County,Texas,and Incorporated Areas);the most recently adjusted Elevation
Reference Mark(ERM) must be used for accurate ground and structure elevations. Please consult the effective
Flood Insurance Study(FIS)for your community or local floodplain administrator for the most current ERM data.
In general,the effects of subsidence can be accounted for by determining grade and structure elevations using
benchmark elevations with the same re-level date as the benchmarks used to develop the Base(1%-annual-
chance) Flood Elevations(BFEs)on the FIRM. Please be aware that benchmark re-level dates can be different for
different flooding sources. No adjustment is necessary to the BFEs on the FIRM.
nstructions MT-1 Forms(086-0-26,086-0-26A,086-0-26B) FEB 11 6
Elevation Table
A row in the elevation table must be completed for each property(parcels of land or structures) involved in this
request(subject property).
Address—Provide the street address(911 type)for subject property.
Lot/Block Number—Provide the property's lot and/or block number if available. In the absence of a lot or block
number,the registered professional engineer or licensed land surveyor must include an identifier that clearly
states for what the elevations are being referenced (e.g. residential structure,commercial building, unit 1,etc.).
Lowest Lot Elevation—For requests involving property,or a portion thereof, provide the lowest lot elevation to
the nearest tenth(0.1)of a foot or meter. If the FIRM shows BFEs in meters,the accuracy of the lowest lot
elevation must be to the nearest tenth of a meter. If the BFE varies across the property, please provide a
certified site plan showing the range of elevations across the property.
LowestAdjacent Grade(LAG)to the Structure—For requests involving a structure, provide the LAG elevation
the elevation of the lowest ground touching the structure including attached patios,stairs,deck supports or
garages),to the nearest tenth (0.1)of a foot or meter. If the FIRM shows BFEs in meters,the accuracy of the
LAG elevation must be to the nearest tenth of a meter.
Base Flood Elevation—Provide the BFE affecting the property. FEMA will verify the BFE during the review
process. BFEs can be obtained by locating the property on the effective FIRM for the community in which the
property is located. Upon locating the property on the FIRM,the engineer or surveyor should determine the
type of flooding and in which flood zone the property is located.The summary below will provide direction for
how to determine the BFE as a result of the flooding type and flood zone determination.
ease Flood Elevation Source—Provide the source used in determining the BFE(e.g. FIRM, profile,floodway
data table,Community Determined,or other source).When submitting a BFE that is either community
determined or from an alternate source, please include in the request,sufficient data that supports the BFE.
Riverine Flooding Systems(Zones AE or A1-A30)—Consult the FIS report for the community in which the
property is located. Next, locate the flood profile for the flooding source by name. Estimate the property's
location along the flood profile and interpolate the BFE using the 100-yr.flood profile line.
Lacustrine(Stillwater)Flooding Systems—Consult the FIS report for the community in which the property
is located. Next, locate the Summary of Stillwater Elevations table. Locate the flooding source, by name,
and use the BFE listed in the table.The flooding source's BFE is normally shown to the nearest one-tenth
of a foot. If the flooding source is not listed in the"Summary of Stillwater Elevations"table, use the BFE as
shown on the FIRM.
Coastal Flooding Systems(Zones AE or Ai-A30 and VE or Vi-V30)—First,obtain the BFE from the FIRM
panel. Next,consult the FIS report for the community in which the property is located. Locate the
Summary of Stillwater Elevations table in the FIS report. Identify the flooding source, by name,and use
the BFE listed in the table.Compare the BFE listed in this table to the BFE obtained from the FIRM. If the
stillwater elevation listed in this table is less than or equal to the whole-foot BFE shown on the map minus
0.5 foot,a wave height,wave runup,and/or wave setup component exists. In this case,the whole-foot
BFE shown on the map should be used for rating,construction,and floodplain management purposes. If
the stiliwater elevation listed in the"Summary of Stillwater Elevations"table is greater than the whole-
foot BFE shown on the map minus 0.4 foot,the stillwater elevation shown in the table shall be used as the
BFE.(Any property/structure located seaward of the landward toe of the primary frontal dune may not
be removed from a Zone VE or V1-V30.
Zone A Flooding—If the property is located in a Zone A,an area of approximate flooding with no BFEs
determined,a BFE will need to be determined by the engineer or surveyor. First,the engineer or surveyor
should determine if a Federal,State,or local government agency has developed a BFE.Such agencies
include the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,the U.S.Geological Survey,the State's Department of Natural
Instructions MT-1 Forms (086-0-26,086-0-26A,086-0-26B) FEB 11 7
Resources, Department of Environmental Quality,or Department of Transportation;or the local Planning
and Zoning Department. If one has been developed,all supporting data and calculations used to develop
the BFE must be submitted,or a letter directly from the government agency must be submitted. If a BFE
has not previously been developed,the engineer or surveyor should consult DHS-FEMA 265,Managing
Floodp/ain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas:A Guide for Obtaining and Developing Base(100-
year)Flood Elevations, available online at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=2215.This
publication is an excellent resource,which details the appropriate methods for determining BFEs in SFHAs
i designated flood zone A.To obtain additional information about developing BFEs,contact the DHS-FEMA
Map Information eXchange at 1-877-FEMA MAP(1-877-336-2627). If the property is greater than 50 lots
or 5 acres,whichever is the lesser,the engineer or surveyor must determine a BFE as a provision of Part
60.3(b)(3),which is available online at http://www.access.gpo.ov/nara/cfr/waisidx 03/44cfr60 03.html.
I Shallow Flooding(Zone AH)—If the property is located in flood zone AH, locate the Summary of Stillwater
Elevations table in the FIS report. Identify the flooding source, by name,and use the BFE listed in the
table. If no Summary of Stillwater Elevations table exists, use the BFE shown on the FIRM If different
elevations appear within the same SFHA,the BFE is obtained by linear interpolation between two
adjacent BFE lines.
Shallow/Sheet Flooding(Zone AO)—For a property located in Zone AO,the characteristics of the Zone
AO area shown on the NFIP map will determine the appropriate methodology to be used to develop the
BFE for the property. If the flooding is conveyed by the street, provide the highest top of curb or crown of
street elevation (whichever is higher)along the property line and add this to the depth of flooding.The
lowest adjacent grade elevation must be above the curb or street elevation by an amount equal to or
greater than the depth of flooding shown on the NFIP map. If the entire property is inundated by the
SFHA and the flow is not conveyed by the street,add the depth of flooding to the average surrounding
grade. If the property is partially inundated by the SFHA and the street does not convey the flow,add the
depth of flooding to the lowest lot elevation.Along with the information required for one of the above-
mentioned methods, provide sufficient certified topographic information,including flow paths,to show
that the structure is located on high ground relative to the depth indicated on the NFIP map.
If the request involves multiple properties(parcels of land or structures),elevations must be provided for each
property. If the number of properties for which DHS-FEMA is to make a determination exceeds the number of rows
on the Elevation Table, additional photocopies of the table may be attached to the back of the Elevation Form.
Certification (by a licensed land surveyor, registered professional engineer, or architect)
The certifier must provide his or her name, license number and expiration date, his or her company name,
telephone number and,if applicable, his or her fax number and email address.The certifier's seal, if available, may
be provided here.The certifier must sign and date the Elevation Form,where indicated,to certify the accuracy of
the information provided. Not all states authorize architects and engineers to certify elevation information.
Consult the state board of registration for more information.
