To assist our review and to expedite processing of this request, please provide digital Computer -Aided Design (CAD) or Geographic Information System (GIS) data that reflect the revised topographic work map. Please ensure the digital data are spatially referenced and cite what projection (coordinate system, example: UTM/State Plane) was used, so that the data may be used for accurate mapping. The important data to show on the digital work map are the contour information, the stream centerline, the cross section lines, the road crossings and hydraulic structures, the effective and as -built flood hazard delineations and the tie-in locations. Everything should be clearly labeled, and all information should be contained within the drawing and not externally referenced. 3.

Alternatively, please submit documentation that individual legal notices were sent to all the property owners affected by any changes in the flood hazard information. Documentation of legal notice may take the form of a signed copy of the letter sent and either a mailing list or certified mailing receipts. Individual notices that are not sent on community letterhead must also include certification from the community that all affected property owners have been notified of the floodway revision. The newspaper notice or the individual legal notices must include the extent of revision and contact information for any interested parties and must also mention the community's intent to revise the regulatory floodway. Please submit a draft copy of the notification for verification of content, prior to publication or distribution. One of the attached templates may be used to prepare the draft notification.
