This CBRS data set was created to depict areas designated as undeveloped coastal barriers in accordance with the CBRA. These digital polygons are representations of the CBRS boundaries shown on the official CBRS maps referenced in 16 U.S.C. 3503(a). This data set should be paired with the CBRS Buffer Zone shapefile to illustrate the stated horizontal accuracy of the boundaries herein. This data set is intended for use by those users seeking both information regarding the location of CBRS units and the System Unit establishment date (where applicable) and flood insurance prohibition date. This is the data set that should be used (in conjunction with the CBRS Buffer Zone shapefile) to complete FEMA's Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form and Elevation Certificate. This data set may be used by FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to determine whether structures within the CBRS are grandfathered for flood insurance purposes. This data set may also be used by Federal agencies to determine whether certain pre-existing roads, structures, facilities, and federal navigations channels within the CBRS are eligible for federal funding and financial assistance. Users are advised to contact the Service for an official determination as to whether a particular property or structure that falls either partially or completely within the CBRS Buffer Zone is located within CBRS. |
