This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report may not contain all data available within the Community Map Repository. It is advisable to contact the Community Map Repository for any additional data. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may revise and republish part or all of this FIS at any time. In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS report by the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS report. Therefore, users should consult with community officials and check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS report components. Selected Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways, cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows: Old Zones New Zone A1 through A30 AE B X C X Initial Countywide FIS Effective Date: This preliminary FIS report does not include unrevised Floodway Data tables or unrevised Flood Profiles. These Floodway Data tables and Flood Profiles will appear in the final FIS report.

(The Village of Fairmont City appears in the St. Clair County FIS). Please note that the Villages of New Douglas, St. Jacob, and Worden have No Special Flood Hazard Areas Identified. This study has developed flood risk data for various areas of the community that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates. This information will also be used by Madison County to update existing floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and by local and regional planners to further promote sound land use and floodplain development. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the NFIP are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. In some states or communities, floodplain management criteria or regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more restrictive criteria take precedence and the State (or other jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) and FIS Report for this countywide study have been produced in digital format. Flood hazard information was converted to meet the FEMA DFIRM database specifications and Geographic Information System (GIS) format requirements. The flood hazard information was created and is provided in a digital format so that it can be incorporated into a local GIS and be accessed more easily by the community. 1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments The sources of authority for this FIS are the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

W. Healy ABSTRACT River mileages are presented for points of interest on Illinois streams draining 10 square miles or more. Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

In fact, the County was recently named a finalist in the National Association of Counties Conservation Leadership Awards. Miles said that Madison County has been a leader in conservation and environmental management initiatives for many years. Both Chairman Dunstan and the County Board should be commended for the leadership they have provided throughout the years to promote environmental programs.” Miles said, “sure we have a comprehensive recycling and solid waste management program, but there are other areas that the County has went out far ahead in environmental excellence.” Miles said that “ever since 1993, the County has developed and implemented a comprehensive Conservation Initiative Program to address several problems and needs that were evident after the Great Flood of 1993. The County developed several components that make up multiple conservation initiatives to solve problems and to build on the synergistic effect of each component. The initiatives are essentially, the Ecological Restoration Program, the Metro-east Park and Recreation District, Stormwater Management Program, support for the Confluence Greenway, supporting the Madison County Trails Network and Resource Planning for Future Growth. The Great Flood of 1993 captured the nations’ attention and wreaked havoc in Madison Co.
