Proposed encroachments into a floodway are only allowed if the encroachment will not cause an increase in flood elevations. To assist local governments in North Carolina, the state has developed a guidance and review process for No-Rise Analyses.
This webinar will provide information on the intent of the floodway concept and how the state of North Carolina helps communities ensure that proposed encroachments have no adverse impacts. The state has developed a guidance document and review process that benefits engineering firms by providing details on what is needed to demonstrate that a proposal will not cause a rise. This helps ensure that no-rise analyses accurately represent the impacts and that proposals can be processed efficiently.
ASFPM has developed a floodplain regulations No Adverse Impact How-to Guide. Some best practices included in the guide will also be highlighted.
