FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Application Request Data and Related Information for Barren Fork Creek, Swan Pond, & Bradford Creek Updated 02/04/2011 Property Owners/Tenants, The City of Huntsville has prepared revised Floodplain and Floodway boundaries, based on updated hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, along Bradford Creek from approximately 1400-ft. downstream of James Record Road to Barren Fork Creek (Bradford Creek Cross Sections A through D). Similarly and along Barren Fork Creek and Swan Pond from Bradford Creek (Cross Section A) to approximately 1600-ft. above the confluence with Indian Creek, which is the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) limit of detailed study for the Tennessee River. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) application package has been prepared and submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to request legal revision of their existing/Effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) to reflect the updated and new modeling. The information in the LOMR application package as been incorporated into the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Madison County wide Map Update. Please visit the following link for further information and options for viewing the "Preliminary" mapping: http://huntsvilleal.gov/flood. Some areas may see an improvement to the conditions currently shown on the Effective FIRM, whereas others are adversely impacted, based on the updated and more accurate data used to depict the proposed conditions. In areas where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) have been lowered, the decrease may be enough to reflect a decrease in Flood Insurance rates subsequent to FEMA’s review and publication of a LOMR (although new Elevation Certificates will likely have to be done, at the owner’s/insured’s cost, to demonstrate the change to insurance companies/FEMA).
