Jahant Road, Acampo, <br />California) (Supervisional District 4). <br />Please review the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the County of San <br />Joaquin (Community Number 060299), Maps revised October 20, 2016. Please note that the <br />County of San Joaquin, California is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program <br />(NFIP). The minimum, basic NFIP floodplain management building requirements are described <br />in Vol. 44 Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR), Sections 59 through 65. <br />A summary of these NFIP floodplain management building requirements are as follows: <br />•All buildings constructed within a riverine floodplain, (i.e., Flood Zones A, AO, AH, AE, <br />and Al through A30 as delineated on the FIRM), must be elevated so that the lowest <br />floor is at or above the Base Flood Elevation level in accordance with the effective Flood <br />Insurance Rate Map. <br />•If the area of construction is located within a Regulatory Floodway as delineated on the <br />FIRM, any development must not increase base flood elevation levels. The term <br />development means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, <br />including but not limited to buildings, other structures, mining, dredging, filling, <br />grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations, and storage of equipment or <br />materials. A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis must be performed prior to the start of <br />development, and must demonstrate that the development would not cause any rise in <br />base flood levels. No rise is permitted within regulatory floodways. <br />www.fema.gov
