HOW CAN I VERIFY WHETHER MY PROJECT IS WITHIN A FLOODPLAIN?

The Lewis County Permit Center can assist you in locating your property on the floodplain designation maps provided by the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA).  If your project falls within a designated 100-year floodplain, you will be required to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit (to include an elevation certificate prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer).
