Background and Discussion:
The Flood Control District conducts both Local and Federal reviews of Letter of Map Revisions (LOMRs) and Conditional Letter of Map Revisions (CLOMRs) in Harris County. During the Federal review, the Flood Control District, as LOMR Review partners with FEMA, is only permitted to review cases based on Federal Criteria. The Flood Control District has agreements with the National Flood Insurance Program communities in Harris County that state that those communities will submit LOMR and CLOMR requests to the Flood Control District so that a Local Review can be done before those communities will sign the MT-2 Form 1 that is required for a federal review. This requirement for a Local Review allows the Flood Control District to enforce local modeling and mapping standards that are higher than the federal standards.
This funding will help provide support for Local Reviews, increasing our capacity to handle reviews in a timely manner, and helping us review cases submitted that propose to revise the XPSWMM model of the overflow from Cypress to Addicks.
Expected Impact:
This amendment will allow the Flood Control District to ensure that LOMRs and CLOMRs done in Harris County are compliant with local modeling and mapping standards.
Alternative Options:
The alternative to approving this item would be to handle all Local Review activities in-house, which would result in delays in review turn-around time, or would necessitate hiring and training of additional staff.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
County Strategic Plan Objective: H: Improve the condition and resilience of County transportation, flood control, and other infrastructure.
