Floodplain MappingFloodplain Zoning, Insurance, Mitigation, and Comprehensive Plans all require Floodplain Maps. In the past, these maps were produced by FEMA and distributed on paper. FEMA is implementing a map modernization initiative to upgrade the map development process in which the maps would be created and distributed in a GIS format. The floodplain management program at the DNR has scanned the existing paper maps and geo-registered them. They are displayed on our web interactive maps and can be overlayed on top of Air Photos or Topographic Maps. In addition, Engineering Input Models and Flood Insurance Study text can be downloaded here. Request for Bids ClosedWDNR will contract with CDM, PBS&J and Ayres Associates for projects in Outagamie and Waupaca, Barron and Oconto, and Dodge and Sauk Counties.90-Day Appeal and Comment PeriodDuring the 90-day appeal period, community officials or property owners may formally object to the information shown on the Preliminary DFIRM or FIS report. What is an Appeal?Refuting the proposed BFEs by submitting data to show that the BFEs are scientifically or technically incorrect (submission of a new hydrologic or hydraulic model). Appeals must follow the process outlined in 44 CFR 67 What is a Comment?An objection to the Preliminary DFIRM and FIS report that does not involve the proposed BFEs. Comments will generally involve changes to floodplain boundary delineations, corporate limits, and roads. Appeals and Comments can be referenced in Part 67 of the NFIP Regulations. How do I submit one of these?Submittals received during the 90-day appeal period will be reviewed to determine if they are appeals or comments. All appeals and comments should come through the community first and the community should review each one to determine if they support the information being submitted. The community should then forward all appeals and comments to CDM c/o Michael Grasso, 125 S. Wacker Dr., Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60606. All letters should specifically state whether you are submitting an appeal or a comment, clearly detail the issue, and state how you would like it resolved. In addition, appeals must follow the process outlined in 44 CFR 67 At the end of the 90 day period, all requests will be evaluated and responded to. Map changes will be reflected in the final maps. For more information on appeals and comments, see 30-Day Comment PeriodIn cases where there are no changes to Base Flood Elevations in a County, a 30-day comment period will apply rather than a 90-day appeal period. This period will start shortly after the Public Open House and close 30 days later. Communities will be notified when this period opens through certified letter. Please follow the same submittal process as identified above. Public Open House ScheduleRepresentatives from the DNR and FEMA will be hosting a Flood Risk Information Open House at the following times and locations to provide the public with an opportunity to review and discuss the recently released Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). All public Open House meetings will begin at 6:00pm and continue until all questions are answered.
