Burgher Branch residents to benefit from reduction in 100-year floodplain

The City of Rolla Public Works Department, together with Allgeier, Martin and Associates, Inc., is notifying residents who live along the Burgher Branch and its tributaries, that the 100-year regulatory floodplain in their area has been revised effective Dec. 16.

This revision, which was a result of all the stormwater management improvements made by the Public Works Dept. over the last five years, means that most of the residents who live along the Burgher Branch and its many tributaries, will be able to either eliminate or see a reduction in, their current flood insurance. The revised floodplain Letter of Map Revision distributed by FEMA on July 31, 2009 became final on Dec. 16, 2009.

Please be aware if you live in the Burgher Branch area that the extent of your property in the floodplain may have changed, and flood insurance rates may be changed accordingly.

The area of Dutro Carter Creek is under review with FEMA and the Spring Creek Tributary will be submitted for review in January 2010.
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Wilson at Allgeier, Martin and Associates, Inc. at 573-341-9487.
