In “Special Flood Hazard Areas” where no BFE has been established, this elevation shall be at least two (2) feet above the highest adjacent grade.
#DEFINE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION PLUS#
In “Special Flood Hazard Areas” where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) have been determined, this elevation shall be the BFE plus two (2) feet of freeboard. Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation means the “Base Flood Elevation” plus the “Freeboard”. This elevation, when combined with the “Freeboard”, establishes the “Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation”.īase flood elevation (BFE) means the elevation shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for Zones AE, AH, A1-30, VE and V1-V30 that indicates the water surface elevation resulting from a flood that has a 1-percent or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.įlood Elevation Determination means a determination by the Administrator of the water surface elevations of the base flood, that is, the flood level that has a one percent or greater chance of occurrence in any given year.įlood Elevation Study means an examination, evaluation and determination of flood hazards and, if appropriate, corresponding water surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) or flood-related erosion hazards.īase flood means the flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. When the BFE has not been provided in a “Special Flood Hazard Area”, it may be obtained from engineering studies available from a Federal, State, or other source using FEMA approved engineering methodologies. Base Flood Elevation (BFE means a determination of the water surface elevations of the base flood as published in the Flood Insurance Study.
