				services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief,
				and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public
				health, safety and general welfare.
(2) These flood losses are caused by the
				cumulative effect of obstructions, both inside and outside the identified
				Special Flood Hazard Areas, causing increases in flood heights and velocities
				and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or
				hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or
				otherwise unprotected from flood damages.

				dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards,
				which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or
				velocities;
(2) Require that uses
				vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected
				against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) Control the alteration of natural
				floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers which are

				shall only be required where no base flood elevations and/or floodway areas
				exist or where the preliminary base flood elevations or floodway area exceed
				the base flood elevations and/or floodway widths in the effective flood hazard
				data provided by FEMA. Such preliminary data may be subject to revision through
				valid appeals.
(2) Upon the
				issuance of a Letter of Final Determination (LFD) by FEMA, the revised flood
				hazard data shall be used and replace all previously effective flood hazard
				data provided by FEMA for the purposes of administrating these regulations.
Where adopted regulatory standards conflict, the more
				  stringent base flood elevation shall prevail. Preliminary FIS data may be
				  subject to change by a valid appeal.

				  stream at the top of the bank or twenty feet each side from the top of the
				  bank, whichever is greater
The X Zones (shaded/unshaded) are considered to be low to
				  moderate risk flood zones and are located outside the community' delineated
				  special flood hazard area and include the following:
(1) Areas outside the one percent chance
				flood zone, but within the 0.2 percent chance flood zone, as determined by a
				detailed study;
(2) Areas outside
				the 0.2 percent chance flood zone as determined by a detailed study,
				and;
(3) Areas that have not yet
				been studied.
The community reserves the right to require further studies
				  for any development within its jurisdiction, if there is evidence that a
				  potential flood hazard exists. Studies can be used to designate community flood
				  hazard areas. Such evidence may include but shall not be limited to:
(1) Eyewitness reports of historic flooding
				or other reports of historic flooding deemed credible by the
				community;
(2) Geologic features
				observed that resemble floodplains (such as flat areas along
				streams);

Application for a Development Permit shall be made to the
				  Floodplain Administrator on forms furnished by him or her prior to any
				  development activities, and may include, but not be limited to, the following
				  plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and
				  elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, earthen
				  fill, storage of materials or equipment, drainage facilities, and the location
				  of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required:
(1) Application Stage.
a.) Elevation in relation to mean sea level
				of the proposed lowest floor (including basement) of all buildings, which will
				be submitted on a FEMA Form 81-31 (Elevation Certificate) by a state of
				Mississippi registered engineer or surveyor;

				to which any non-residential building in an A Zone will be
				floodproofed;
c.) Certificate from
				a state of Mississippi registered professional engineer or architect that the
				non-residential flood-proofed building will meet the floodproofing criteria in
				Part 208, Rule 4.2, Rule 5.2 and Rule 5.4);
d.) No floodplain development permit can be
				issued to any mobile, modular, or permanently constructed residence, building
				or facility unless the owner, lessee, or developer obtains a Notice of Intent
				from the Mississippi State Health Department, pursuant to the MS Individual
				On-Site Wastewater Disposal System Law (2009), for a recommendation of a sewage
				system or Proof of Compliance from the proper Sewer and Water
				District;
e.) Description of the
				extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as result of
				proposed development.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 208 - Flood Damage Prevention Regulation › Chapter 5 - Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction › Rule 33-208-5.4 - Standards for Shallow Flooding Zones

Current through June 25, 2024
Located within the areas of special flood hazard established
				  in Part 208, Rule 3.1, are areas designated as shallow flooding areas. These
				  areas have flood hazards associated with base flood depths of one to three
				  feet, where a clearly defined channel does not exist and the water path of
				  flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; therefore, the following
				  provisions, in addition to the standards of Part 208, Rule 5.1 and 5.2
				  apply:
(1) All new construction and
				substantial improvements of residential structures shall:
Have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or
				  above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number (plus
				  community freeboard) specified in feet on the Flood Insurance Rate Map. If no
				  depth number is specified, the lowest floor, including basement, shall be
				  elevated to no less than three feet six inches above the highest adjacent
				  grade.
(1) All new
				construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures shall:
a.) Have the lowest floor, including
				basement, elevated to or above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as
				the depth number in feet (plus community freeboard) on the Flood Insurance Rate
				Map. If no depth number is specified, the lowest floor, including basement,
				shall be elevated to no less than three feet six inches above the highest
				adjacent grade.
b.) Together with
				attendant utility and sanitary facilities be completely floodproofed to or
				above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number in feet
				(plus community freeboard) specified on the FIRM plus a minimum of 1.5 feet so
				that any space below that level is watertight with walls substantially
				impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the
				capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of
				buoyancy. Certification is required as stated in Part 208, Rule 5.2 B
				(2).
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 208 - Flood Damage Prevention Regulation › Chapter 5 - Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction › Rule 33-208-5.7 - Critical Facilities

Current through June 25, 2024
Construction of new and substantially improved critical
				  facilities shall be located outside the limits of the special flood hazard area
				  (one percent chance floodplain). Construction of new critical facilities shall
				  be permissible within the SFHA only if no feasible alternative site is
				  available and access to the facilities remains available during a 0.2 percent
				  chance flood. Critical facilities constructed within the SFHA shall have the
				  lowest floor elevated three feet six inches above the base flood elevation at
				  the site (or to the 0.2 percent chance flood elevation whichever is greater).
				  Floodproofing and sealing measures must be implemented to ensure that toxic
				  substances will not be displaced by or released into floodwaters. Multiple
				  access routes, elevated to or above the 0.2 percent flood elevation, shall be
				  provided to all critical facilities to the maximum extent possible. Critical
				  facilities must not only be protected to or above the 0.2 percent chance flood
				  but must remain operable during such an event. The community's flood response
				  plan must list facilities considered critical in a flood, since loss of access
				  can cause a critical situation. Other facilities in low risk flood zones that
				  may also be needed to support flood response efforts must be included on the
				  critical facility list. The use of any structure shall not be changed to a
				  critical facility, where such a change in use will render the new critical
				  facility out of conformance with this section. The list of the operators of the
				  critical facilities affected by flooding must be updated at least annually, as
				  part of the community critical facility planning procedures.
