In addition, according to the FEMA Preliminary DFIRM map provided on the LSU AgCenter website (http://maps.lsuagcenter.com), the site is located in Flood Zone “A”. A determination was requested from the Flood Plain Administrator, who determined a BFE of elevation 32 feet (determination attached).The LiDAR contours downloaded from LSU’s ATLAS site indicate that the site ranges in elevation from 23 feet to 59 feet at the top of the levee, and the mean elevation of the developable property on the site is at elevation 32 feet. The site currently has approximately 197 acres of contiguous property fronting Highway 981 that is above the base flood elevation of 32 feet. Therefore, no further action is needed to meet floodplain construction standards. Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in this project.
