INTERIM FLOOD HAZARD AREAS
Section 1: 109-020-010 Purpose Interim flood hazard areas are areas designated by the Director as an approximation of the
floodplain, depicting areas of flood hazard. These rules establish interim flood hazard areas for
waterways which do not have base flood water surface elevations and floodway and floodway
fringe boundaries established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). Interim flood hazard areas are established either: (a) on waterways
which do not have base flood elevations, floodway, or SFHA boundaries established through a
flood insurance study; or (b) as a more restrictive standard in an existing SFHA. An interim
flood hazard area is an approximation of the floodplain.
