Many municipalities remained confused or unsure as to which conditions to place on new development and substantial improvements in the federally identified Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). Accordingly, many refer developers and potential permitees to Knapp Associates for assistance with project compliance and permitting. All projects are closely coordinated with local floodplain administrators. When completed, the municipality can be assured that projects are compliant with the requirements of the NFIP and local floodplain management regulations.
