The identified floodplain area may be revised or modified by
the Board of Supervisors where studies or information provided by
a qualified agency or person documents the need for such revision;
provided, however, prior to any such change, approval shall be obtained
from FEMA. As soon as practicable, but not later than six months after
the date such information becomes available, the Township shall notify
FEMA of the changes by submitting technical or scientific data.
Should a dispute concerning any identified floodplain area boundary
arise, an initial determination shall be made by the Floodplain Administrator,
and any party aggrieved by such decision or determination may appeal
to the Zoning Hearing Board. The burden of proof shall be on the appellant.
Prior to development occurring in areas where annexation or
other corporate boundary changes are proposed or have occurred, the
Township shall review flood hazard data affecting the lands subject
to boundary changes. The Township shall adopt and enforce floodplain
regulations in areas subject to annexation or corporate boundary changes
which meet or exceed those in 44 CFR 60.3.
