Louisville’s Flood Mapping Story David Johnson, PE Development Manager

FEMA Map Update Process (Locally Funded)

• Stream is chosen due to completed flood mitigation projects or

date of existing flood study.

• MSD hires an engineering contractor to complete a detailed

hydrologic/hydraulic model and floodplain mapping.

• MSD reviews the model and request changes if any are needed.
• Public meetings are held with area residents to discuss proposed

changes.

• Comments from public meeting are addressed.
• Flood models are submitted to FEMA for review and approval.

Process can take several months in this stage.

• Once preliminarily approved, MSD will send letters to all those

impacted.

• At final approval, the new floodplain maps are used for flood

mapping and determinations.

FEMA Map Update Process (Federally Funded)

• FEMA releases money to the Division of Water (DOW) for

mapping upgrades.

• MSD submits a request of funds to update flood mapping

including a full scope of work to be performed.

• If accepted, MSD works with the DOW and their contractor

to finalize scope of project and MSD contributions. DOW usually selects the streams and MSD can make additions.

• MSD manages the project, but DOW conducts public

meetings and FEMA submittals and comments.

• Once preliminarily approved, MSD will send letters to all

those impacted.

• At final approval, the new floodplain maps are used for

flood mapping and determinations.

2006 (Map Mod)

• Project name: Map Modernization (Creation
• f Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps)
• Total combined cost $5M (MSD and DOW)
• Over 600 miles of stream studied
• Portions of Pond Creek were reduced by 2 feet

due to updated modeling software and MSD projects (i.e regional basins and channel widening)

2006 (Map Mod)

2009 - Present (RISK Map)

• Project name: RISK Map (Mapping to identify Risk to property

damage)

• Total combined cost $1.7M (MSD and DOW)
• DOW chose engineering contractor and streams to be studied
• MSD added/upgraded studies at MSD cost. Cost savings to MSD

since all mapping would be paid for by the Commonwealth.

• Over 170 miles of streams studied.
• All streams with a watershed of at least 1 square mile were to have

studies completed. Many of these areas had not been studied prior, thus new floodplains with new properties added

• MSD requested all “A” Approximate Studies be updated.
• Draft Studies due this summer.
• Public comment and meetings first quarter of 2016. (DOW to

arrange)

• FEMA approved maps late 2016.
