Dear Mayor Watson:
The Department of Homeland Security' s Federal Emergency Management Agency( FEMA)
recently revised a number of the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map( FIRM) panels and Flood
Insurance Study( FIS) Report for Pulaski County, Arkansas and incorporated areas. The FIRM
panels and FISReport included supersede the previous information sent to your community on
September 21, 2007, and March 20, 2009. The revised preliminary issuance date for these items
is July 31, 2014.
The Baucum, Little Rock/Pulaski County Drainage District#2, North Little Rock Levee and
Floodwall, Old River, Plum Bayou, and Roland Levee structures along the Arkansas River and
Fourche Creek are non-accredited levee systems, meaning that the levee systems are currently not
in compliance with the levee certification requirements described in 44 Code of Federal
Regulations 65. 10 related to the levee' s capacity to reduce flood risk during the one-percent-
annual-chance flood event. The revised preliminary FIRMand FISReport in the vicinity of the
identified levees have not been updated and the flood information within the Seclusion Boundary
has been reverted to the information presented on the prior effective FIRMand FISReport in
these areas. The previous FIRMs utilized are listed here for your reference:
City of Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated October 19, 2001
City of Maumelle, Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated November 2, 1994
City of North Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated September 5, 1990
Unincorporated Areas of Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated May 16, 1983
Unincorporated Areas of Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated August 5, 1991
Unincorporated Areas of Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated November 2, 1994
Unincorporated Areas of Pulaski County, Arkansas, dated October 19, 2001
Seclusion mapping is intended to move forward flood hazard mapping projects that have been on
hold because a portion of the study area is impacted by a non-accredited levee system and
provides this updated information use by local officials who are enforcing floodplain

management ordinances. The current effective information is being retained as an interim
measure until updated flood hazard analysis and mapping in the vicinity of the non-accredited
levee systems is performed as part of a future levee analysis and mapping project.
As discussed during the coordination to prepare the Seclusion mapping, FEMAwill remain in
contact with your community and the levee owners to discuss the future study approach to
determine the updated flood risk in the vicinity of the Baucum, Little Rock/Pulaski County
Drainage District#2, North Little Rock Levee and Floodwall, Old River, Plum Bayou, and
Roland Levee structures along the Arkansas River and Fourche Creek. FEMAwill contact your
community and the levee owners once funding has been secured to update the flood hazard
analysis in the vicinity of the identified levees. At that time, FEMAwill coordinate with local
community officials to best define the appropriate Levee Analysis and Mapping Procedure to
utilize. The flood hazard information within the Seclusion Boundary will be updated at that
time.
FEMAhas posted digital copies of the revised preliminary FIRM, FISReport materials, and
supporting database on the following page of the Map Service Center:
httn://www.fema.sov/preliminarvfloodhazarddata. We also request that your community
make the hard copy revised preliminary FIRMand FISReport available for review at your
community' s map repository located at the City Hall, 550 Edgewood Drive, Suite 590,
Maumelle, AR72113. Feel free to interact with both the current effective data and the revised
preliminary flood hazard data through the interactive mapping tool at:
http://maps. riskmap6.com/AR/Pulaskj. This interactive tool allows communities to review the
flood risk at any known address. An instructional fact sheet for this Interactive Web Tool is
available at:
http://
www. riskmap6. com/documents/resource/WhatisyourFloodRisk. pdf.
To ensure that residents of your community are provided a final opportunity to submit comments
and concerns on the FIRMand FISReport prior to their effective issuance, a 30-day comment
period will be provided. Public notification of the comment period will be published in The
Leader on or about August 6, 2014, and in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and the Jacksonville
Patriot on or about August 7, 2014. The 30-day comment period will commence on the August
7, 2014, publication date of this notice. Acopy of this notice is enclosed for your reference.
During this 30-day comment period, any interested party may submit comments to you, or to an
agency that you publicly designate. If we do not receive any formal comments from your
community in its own name within 30days of the date of public notification, we will consolidate
and review on their own merits such comments from individuals that you may forward to us, and
we will make such modifications to the information presented on the revised preliminary FIRM
and FISReport as may be appropriate. Please forward any comments or concerns to our FEMA
Regional Office in Denton, Texas at the
following
address:
