(Buffalo Creek) Project Latitude / Longitude Location(s): Buildings and Associated Fill 41.7122/-91.7053; Johnson County Iowa DNR Project ID Number: 2024-0552 Dear ANTHONY D FREDERICK: This is in reference to your request for determination of the "100-year" flood elevation (a.k.a. the base flood elevation, or BFE) for the existing structure / property identified on your application. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Johnson County shows a portion of this property as being in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Based on the information available, we estimate the current existing condition 100-year flood elevation to be 708.1', NAVD88 at the location referenced above. You may download additional copies, or verify the Iowa DNR Flood Plain and Dam Safety Section (Department) official response document(s) for this project at the Iowa DNR Flood Plain PERMT website using the tracking number above. (PERMT Website Address: https://programs.iowadnr.gov/permt/) Please be aware when planning future construction that elevating beyond the required 1 foot above the BFE will not only reduce flood risk, but might also result in lower flood insurance rates.
