NEW! IMPORTANT INFORMATION for FLOOD AREA RESIDENTS: Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are the Village of Earlville elevations of the flood that has a 1-percent chance of occurrence in any given year; the base flood is also referred to as the “1-percent-annual-chance flood” or the “100-year flood.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Public notification of these preliminary documents has been published in the Village of Earlville’s official local newspapers (The Evening Sun). These proposed BFEs, if finalized, will become the basis for floodplain management ordinances that the village will adopt to remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

  Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-234) is intended to ensure an equitable balancing of all the interests involved in the setting of BFEs/ The legislation provides for an explicit process of notification and appeals for the community and interested parties prior to FEMA finalizing the BFEs. The regulations developed by FEMA to implement Section 110 are found in Part 67 of Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you would like to appeal or protest the BFEs, the document found here describes the process which local residents and businesses must follow in order to formally object to information presented on Preliminary Maps. It outlines the difference between “appeals” and “protests.”

  The appeals period begins on Dec. 24, 2009 and ends by statute on March 23, 2010. It cannot be extended for any reason beyond that.

  A full copy of the notice and the BFEs areas affected can be found here.
