Potential Floodway
Changes
The City of Springfield has concurred in a request made by the Wildish
Company, in accordance with National Flood Insurance Program Regulation
65/7(b)(1), to revise that portion of the floodway of the Willamette River
generally located between the Union Pacific Rail Road bridge on the north
and the confluence of the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette River
on the South. This area includes the west bank of the Willamette as it
passes Glenwood, and the east bank, in the vicinity of the Harbor Drive
subdivision. Since the City has concurred in the request, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will now review the request and determine
whether or not it is warranted. The City is required to give formal notice
of this application, and did so with a letter dated, August 11, 2008.
Since these requests can be complex, the City is making additional material
available here, for the benefit of property owners who believe they may
be affected by any change in the floodway or flood plain.
