Comments needed

for floodplain rules

Minor changes to King County’s floodplain management ordinances are necessary to keep the county eligible for a national flood insurance program, and the public has an opportunity to comment on the proposed changes through a public meeting or written remarks.

King County, along with nearly 20,000 other communities across the nation, participates in the National Flood Insurance Program by adopting and enforcing floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. In order to remain in the flood insurance program, King County needs to make a few minor changes to its regulations.

The proposed ordinance can be viewed at www.kingcounty.gov/environment/waterandland/flooding/code-update.aspx, or by calling (206) 296-6519 for a printed copy. A public meeting on this ordinance is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, at the Fall City Library, 33415 S.E. 42nd Pl., Fall City.
