Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard Designated Floodplain – Comments Due May 11, 2025 Havre de GraceEarly Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard Designated Floodplain – Comments Due May 11, 2025 There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplain and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate project impacts on the floodplain. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplain can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in the floodplain, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City of Havre de Grace at the following address on or before May 11, 2025: City of Havre de Grace Attn: Geoff Goins, Director of Planning 711 Pennington Avenue Havre de Grace, MD 21078 Comments may also be submitted via email at: geoffg@havredegracemd.com. A full project description and associated plans are available upon request by contacting Mr. Jamie Kendrick at: jamie@woodvalleystrategies.com. Click here to view the public notice.
