This FIS has developed flood risk data for various areas of the county that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates. This information will also be used by Webster County to update existing floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and will also be used by local and regional planners to further promote sound land use and floodplain development. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in 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. 1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments The sources of authority for this FIS report are the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The original countywide FIS dated February 16, 1990, was prepared to include incorporated communities within Webster County in a countywide FIS. The hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for the original countywide FIS were prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under contract Inter-Agency Agreement No. EMW-84-E-1543. This work was completed in March 1987. For this revised countywide FIS revision, no revised hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were prepared; however this revision reflects more up-to-date stream channel configurations and floodplain delineations than those shown on the previous FIRM for Webster County. The floodplains and floodways that were transferred from the previous FIRM may have been adjusted to conform to these new stream channel configurations. Moreover, floodplains for approximate studies may have been adjusted in some areas to conform with statewide 3-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) topographic data from 2003. The Digital Flood 1 Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) database and mapping were prepared for FEMA by Marshall Miller & Associates (MM&A) under Contract No. EMP-2002-GR-3653, with Region 1 Planning and Development operating as the Cooperating Technical Partner. This work was completed in 2007. Base map information shown on the FIRM panels was obtained in digital spatial data format from Mapping On Demand Partners, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the West Virginia Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board (WVSAMB). Streamline files were provided by the USGS in 2006 and were compiled at a scale of 1:24,000 or better. Political boundary files were provided by Mapping On Demand Partners in 2006. The 2003 digital orthophotographs were provided by WVSAMB. Adjustments were made to specific base map features to align them to 1:4,800 scale WVSAMB digital orthophotos. The projection used in the preparation of this map is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 17, North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83), GRS80 spheroid. Road names were assigned from ESRI's Streetmap data set, without independent verification (Tele Atlas, 2005). 1.3 Coordination The purpose of an Initial Consultation Coordination Officer’s (CCO) meeting is to discuss the scope of the FIS. A final CCO meeting is held to review the results of the study. For the February 1990 FIS, an initial CCO meeting was held on January 17, 1985, and a final CCO meeting was held on October 17, 1988. Both of these meetings were attended by representatives of Webster County, FEMA, and the study contractor (USGS). For this [effective date] revision, a CCO was held on [to be determined] and was attended by representatives Webster County, the State, FEMA and the study contractor to review the results of the study. 2.0 AREA STUDIED 2.1 Scope of Study This FIS report covers the geographic area of Webster County, West Virginia. For the February 16, 1990 countywide FIS report, portions of the following streams were studied by detailed methods: Streams Limits of Detailed Study Back Fork Elk River from its confluence with the Elk River upstream to a point approximately 0.7 mile upstream of the confluence of Sugar Creek; 2 Streams Limits of Detailed Study Birch River from a point approximately 0.8 mile downstream of the confluence of Ming Run to the confluence of Johnson Branch; Elk River from a point at the gaging station just downstream from Webster Springs at mile 125.4 upstream to a point approximately 590 feet downstream of the confluence of Bergoo Creek; Gauley River (Lower) from a point approximately 400 feet downstream from Strouds Creek to a point approximately 0.5 mile downstream from the confluence of Big Laurel Creek; Gauley River (Upper) from approximately 50 feet downstream of the CSX Transportation Railroad bridge at Donaldson to a point approximately 400 feet downstream from the confluence of Laurel Creek; Left Fork Elk River from its confluence with the Elk River upstream to the divergence from the Elk River; Left Fork Holly River from the bridge at Pugh to a point approximately 0.5 mile downstream from the confluence of Johns Run; Right Fork Holly River from a point approximately 0.2 mile upstream from County Route 5-1 to approximately 1.2 miles upstream of the second crossing of County Route 18 The areas studied by detailed methods were selected with priority given to all known flood hazard areas and areas of projected development and proposed construction at the time of the original study. 3 In addition, the following streams were originally studied by approximate methods in their entirety or in part, but were found to have negligible flood hazards and no flood boundaries were shown on the map: Big Creek, Blue Creek, Brier Branch, Buncan Creek, Laurel Creek, Powley Creek, Red Spring Branch, and Tug Creek. Approximate methods of analysis were used to study those areas having low development potential and minimal flood hazards as identified at the initiation of the study. The scope and methods of study were proposed to, and agreed upon by, FEMA and Webster County. 2.2 Community Description Webster County is located in central West Virginia. It is bordered by the unincorporated areas of Lewis and Upshur Counties to the north, the unincorporated areas of Braxton and Nicholas Counties to the west, the unincorporated areas of Randolph and Pocahontas Counties to the east, and the unincorporated areas of Greenbrier County to the south.

WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • Regulations Summary 2019
    WEST VIRGINIA FISHINGRegulations Summary 2019 wvdnr.gov From the Director Last year the DNR released an updated, online interactive map that provides valuable information on all aspects of fishing and hunting adventures. DNR personnel are continuing to update information and produce new, useful maps. After hearing about the need from anglers in an online survey, DNR personnel collected lake depth data and processed new bathymetry maps for 35 lakes across the state. These maps are now available on the interactive fishing map and downloadable to print or take with you on your mobile device. Also, anglers can now access the real-time streamflow conditions from the U.S. Geological Survey on our interactive fishing map. The real-time information allows anglers to check on flow and make decisions about whether fishing conditions are ideal before heading out to a stream or river. Visit wvdnr.gov/gis for more details and links to the interactive map and other map pages. You helped fund this project through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, using excise taxes on selected fishing equipment and boat fuel. I encourage you to take advantage of West Virginia’s abundant natural resources and go fishing every chance you get. And take a friend or family member with you. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Stephen S. McDaniel, DNR Director DISTRICT OFFICES Main Office - South Charleston, WV 25303 324 4th Avenue Fish Management − Mark T.

  • Walk Across West Virginia Route Descriptions
    WWAALLKK AACCRROOSSSS WWEESSTT VVIIRRGGIINNIIAA RROOUUTTEE DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONNSS Few of us have the time to actually Walk Across West Virginia (WAWV), but we can do a virtual Walk Across West Virginia by walking a distance equal to walking across the state. On the following pages are descriptions of five routes across West Virginia. Two are existing trails, two are hypothetical straight line routes through the geographical center of the state and one is a combination of trails and public roads. The longest route across the state is 281 miles. If you walked 5.5 miles a week or 21.5 miles a month, in your local neighborhood, you would equal the longest distance in less than a year. So why not set a personal goal of Walking Across West Virginia this year! Record the date you reach a specific mileage point on one of the routes to track your progress. You can use the mileage tracking chart found on the WAWV website to track your accumulated miles. Include your family members in your trip. You might enhance the “virtual” experience by actually walking parts of the existing trails nearest you, or by visiting some of the areas traversed by the hypothetical routes. The West to East route across the state also includes “trivia questions” about West Virginia. See how much you know about West Virginia.!

  • Fishing Regulations
    FISHING REGULATIONS SUMMARY 2021 FROM THE DIRECTOR My grandmother used to say, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Well, 2020 could certainly fall into the “lemons” category, but from a fish management standpoint, things could not have gone better. The COVID pandemic motivated millions of Americans to step outside and take in all that Mother Nature has to offer. The West Virginia mountains provide an ideal backdrop for this increased outdoor activity. Our parks, streams and lakes have experienced record attendance, and fishing licenses sales have been robust. Our fish management professionals were behind the scenes making things happen. We continued to work on improving fish habitat, stocking trout and other species, as well as kicking off our $40 million hatchery renovation program. Our hatcheries had been neglected for decades. We started with the hatchery at Bowden. Early last year, Bowden began receiving a $10 million makeover. When finished, it will not only provide state of the art facilities but will increase rearing capacity by 50 percent. When all the renovations are complete, our hatcheries will be able to produce well over one million pounds of trout annually. Looking forward to 2021, we anticipate expanding our Gold Rush event, continuing to improve fish habitat, and developing new special regulation areas and events to create more exciting opportunities for anglers throughout West Virginia. I hope the upcoming season is a special one, and until next time ”tight lines” for everyone. Hancock Stephen S.
