NOTE: If the request is to remove the structure, and an Elevation Certificate has been completed for this property, it may be submitted in lieu of Section B. If the request is to remove the entire legally recorded property, or a portion thereof, the lowest elevation on the lot or described portion must be provided in Section B. Applicable Regulations The regulations pertaining to LOMAs are presented in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations under Title 44, Chapter I, Parts 70 and 72, Code of Federal Regulations. The purpose of Part 70 is to provide an administrative procedure whereby DHS -FEMA will review information submitted by an owner or lessee of property who believes that his or her property has been inadvertently included in a designated SFHA. The necessity of Part 70 is due in part to the technical difficulty of accurately delineating the SFHA boundary on an NFIP map. Part 70 procedures shall not apply if the topography has been altered to raise the original ground to or above the BFE since the effective date of the first NFIP map [e.g., a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM)j showing the property to be within the SFHA. Basis of Determination DHS- FEMA's determination as to whether a structure or legally recorded parcel of land, or portions thereof, described by metes and bounds, may be removed from the SFHA will be based upon a comparison of the Base (1 %- annual- chance) Flood Elevation (BFE) with certain elevation information. For Zone A, with no BFE determined, refer to Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas, A Guide for Obtaining and Developing Base (100 -Year) Flood Elevations. The elevation information required is dependent on whether a structure, or a legally recorded parcel of land, is to be removed from the SFHA. Item to be Removed from the SFHA: check one Elevation Information Required: (complete Item 5 ❑ Structure located on natural grade (LOMA) Lowest Adjacent Grade to the structure (the elevation of the lowest ground touching the structure including attached decks or garage) © Legally recorded parcel of land, or portion thereof (LOMA) Elevation of the lowest ground on the parcel or within the portion of land to be removed from the SFHA 1.
