Public Notice HMGP Program for Town of Princeville

EDGECOMBE COUNTY PUBLIC NOTICE

HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM FOR THE

TOWN OF PRINCEVILLE  


As appropriated by the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act2013, and issued by the Department of Homeland Security: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, HMGP 4285 funds were made available to provide resources to assist states, tribal governments, territories and local communities in their efforts to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insurable under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM) will be utilizing FEMA funds for three separate but related activities; Acquisition, Elevation, and Reconstruction, in the Town of Princeville. Edgecombe County is proposing to elevate single family dwellings located in a hurricane flood-prone and wind borne debris region and susceptible to frequent flooding. These properties have repeatedly been inundated by flood waters and damaged numerous times over the years and have a high probability of flooding during severe rainfall and flood events. The proposed activities will mitigate any future flood related loss and provide 100 year flood protection. The properties will be elevated to the locally mandated BFE or additional freeboard height, which will bring all structures up to the required base flood elevation (BFE) as established by FEMA. For those properties at or above the BFE, the structure will be elevated to two feet above the current first floor elevation (FFE). Each property will be elevated on continuous block piers, or (if very near to the coast) pilings. All properties are located inland sound-side, so it is very likely that the majority will be continuous block elevations. For continuous block pier elevations, the depth of ground disturbance will be approximately 12”-24”. For piling elevations, the ground disturbance would be approximately 15’-20’. All construction will be conducted according to North Carolina building code and local building code requirements and specifications. Environmental protection measures, such as sediment barriers and other soil loss protection, will be taken. Each site will be dressed and graded to provide for positive drainage and ease of future maintenance. Acquisition will consist of the property and land being acquired, then demolished, with the land remaining as open (green) in perpetuity. Reconstruction of properties will consist of rebuilding the structure to its previous footprint.
