Floodplain Designations in Camden County--Nov 5, 2008 Meeting

Floodplain Designations in Camden County--Nov 5, 2008 Meeting

A meeting concerning the Floodplain Management Program will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, November 5th in the 3rd floor hearing room of the courthouse. Mostly this meeting is for the review and discussion on the new DFIRM maps that are the first major improvement to our program in Camden County since we began the program in 1994. The meeting is a public hearing and if there are questions about the program itself we will try to answer them as well. The floodplain program does not directly relate to water quality at the lake but does effect development and where (& how) it can occur with regard to floodplains.

One thing people here at the lake should learn is that ALL lake front properties have some floodplain (up to elevation 664-foot) and when buying / selling / or refinancing this can have an effect because a lender may require flood insurance even though the residence is well above that elevation.
