Santa Clara River and Tributaries Physical Map Revision
Description:
BakerAECOM will conduct scoping meetings and perform the behind levee flood hazard analyses to map the area depicted as provisionally accredited on the September 26, 2008 effective Countywide Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM). The landward areas will either be mapped as located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), or will be mapped to show the levee is accredited, based on the information The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX receives from the levee owner(s).


Open Pacific Coast Study
Description:

BakerAECOM is performing a detailed coastal engineering study (modeling and analyses) of the Pacific coast of California.  Results from this study will be used to remap the coastal flood risk and wave hazards for the California coast​



Letter of Map Revision
Description:

A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is a determination, which reflects an official revision to an effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map. LOMRs are issued in place of the physical revision and republication of the effective map. A LOMR may change flood insurance risk zones, floodplain and/or floodway boundary delineations, planimetric features, and/or Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) or flood depths. The LOMR becomes effective on the date shown on the determination document.

The appeals process for LOMRs includes a formal notification of the change and requires that it be published in the local newspaper and Federal Register as soon as possible. Additionally, the appeal process requires that LOMRs are available for public review.  As a result, the LOMRs listed on the Letter of Map Revision page have been made available for public review and comment. Any comments supported by scientific or technical data should be forwarded to your community’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Contact information for the CEO and Floodplain Administrator (FPA) are generally available on the community websites. Links to the community websites appear on the County pages.​


Santa Monica Bay Watershed Discovery
Description:

The Discovery processs is the first step in determining whether a RiskMAP project is needed within the Santa Monica Bay Watershed.  The goal of the Discovery process is for FEMA to work more closely with communities and stakeholders to better understand the local flood risk and mitigation efforts and to encourage watershed-wide discussions about increasing resilience to flooding. The information exchanged between FEMA and the community during Discovery will improve our understanding of your flood hazard mapping, flood risk, mitigation planning, and communication needs.

Discovery Meetings for the Santa Monica Bay Watershed were held on the following dates:

  • September 25, 2012 - Calabasas, California
  • September 26, 2012 - Wilmington, California
  • September 26, 2012 - Lawndale, Califorrnia
  • September 27, 2012 - Los Angeles, California

The information exchanged between FEMA and the community during Discovery will improve our understanding of your flood hazard mapping, flood risk, mitigation planning, and communication needs.

Discovery Meetings for the SantaClara River Watershed were held on the following dates:
  • September 18, 2012 - Saticoy, California

Dominguez Channel, Compton Creek, Los Angeles PAL Physical Map Revision
Description:

BakerAECOM will complete a Physical Map Revision (PMR) to perform detailed failed analyses for the levee segments that will be de-accredited (Levee IDs: #2, 22, 20b, and 25a) and complete preliminary distribution and post-preliminary processing.​​



Santa Clara River and Tributaries
Description:

BakerAECOM will incorporate the Santa Clara River study data (HDR study), process the Santa Clarita study as a LOMR, and incorporate the USACE-LA study data along tributaries to the Santa Clara River.

There is a currently non-accredited levees that affects flood risk in Los Angeles County.  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is currently in the process of developing new procedures for evaluating and mapping flood risk behind non-accredited levees.  When the new procedures are approved for FEMA Regions to begin implementing, FEMA Region IX will contact the affected communities to discuss the non-accredited levee evaluation process.



Santa Clara River, South Fork Santa Clara and Bouquet Canyon Creek Physical Map Revision
Description:

BakerAECOM will produce a Physical Map Revision (PMR) for three panels that include six miles of levees.  This will incorporate the appropriate levee status. 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is currently in the process of developing new procedures for evaluating and mapping flood risk behind non-accredited levees.  When the new procedures are approved for FEMA Regions to begin implementing, FEMA Region IX will contact the affected communities to discuss the non-accredited levee evaluation process. 



Ballona Creek Physical Map Revision
Description:

BakerAECOM will perform a 2-D H&H study in the eastern half of the Ballona Creek watershed, which includes the Park Mesa Heights study area.  This project is estimated to impact 80 square miles in the Santa Monica Bay watershed.​



Las Virgenes Creek Study
Description:

BakerAECOM will perform detailed H&H study for Las Virgenes Creek in Calabasas California.  BakerAECOM will complete the study through floodplain mapping.​
