Excellence
in Floodplain Management Award
Ceremony
Excerpt "Established
in 1997, this award recognizes an outstanding floodplain management
program or an outstanding floodplain manager. This award may be
bestowed annually upon a local unit of government, who has consistently
demonstrated leadership in the area of floodplain management and has instituted
a pro-active approach consistent with the INAFSM vision of sound water
resources management in the State of Indiana. Previous
recipients of this award include the City of Fort Wayne, Maumee River
Basin Commission, City of Fredricksburg, and Scott Zeigler of the Noble
County Surveyor's Office. This
year's INAFSM Award for Excellence in Floodplain Management goes to two
local governmental units that have joined hands to develop highly detailed
and accurate base maps and topographic data, to among other things, modernize
their aging floodplain maps. Together, they have been able to provide
the necessary background data and cost-share for redelineating floodplain boundaries
along several miles of previously studied streams and also support new
detailed studies for two previously unstudied streams in an urbanizing
area. The level of cooperation exhibited by these two entities is
exactly what is needed to make such map modernization efforts a
success." Learn
