This study has developed flood-risk data for various areas of the community that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates and to assist the community in its efforts to promote sound floodplain management. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. Please note that the Cities of Rivergrove, Tualatin, and Wilsonville are geographically located in Clackamas and Washington Counties, the City of Milwaukie is geographically located in Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, and the Cities of Lake Oswego and Portland are geographically located in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. The Cities of Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Rivergrove and Wilsonville are included in their entirety in this FIS report. The Cities of Portland and Tualatin are published separately. Please note that the Cities of Estacada, Johnson City, and Molalla are non-floodprone. 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 or regulations 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 hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for the original FIS for the City of Barlow, City of Canby, the unincorporated areas of Clackamas County, City of Lake Oswego, City of Oregon City, City of Rivergrove, and the City of Wilsonville, were performed by James M. Montgomery, Consulting Engineers, Inc., for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under Contract Nos. H-4583 and H-4582. These studies were completed in December, 1979, January, 1983, November, 1984, March, 1984, June,
