(a)

The Butte County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts the flood insurance study ("FIS") produced by the Federal Insurance Administration ("FIA") of the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA"), and accompanying flood insurance rate maps ("FIRM") and flood boundary and floodway maps ("FBFM") with map index dated January 6, 2011, and all subsequent amendments and revisions, as the official maps to be used in determining those areas of special flood hazard. The FIS and attendant mapping present the minimum area of applicability of this article, which area may be supplemented by ordinance adopted by the Board of Supervisors based on studies and on recommendations from the Floodplain Administrator. The FISs, FIRMs, and FBFMs are on file with the Butte County Department of Public Works at 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, California.

The official two hundred-year floodplain maps will be reflected on two hundred-year flood mapping information shown in Figure HS-2 of the General Plan's Health and Safety Element.
