The rule amends the state’s Flood Hazard Area Control Act, under which DEP had already adopted new regulations in 2007 that had imposed a significantly more stringent regulatory scheme for development in flood hazard areas, and for obtaining permits for that development.įlood hazard areas (New Jersey’s regulatory term for a flood plain) are determined by reference to 100 year floods plus an additional allowance. New Jersey adopted the advisory maps by way of emergency rulemaking and adoption by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Last week, FEMA began releasing the advisory maps for New York. In mid-December 2012, FEMA released the advisory maps for many of the New Jersey coastal areas affected by the flooding. While the new maps had not yet been submitted to local and state officials for review and comment, or formally adopted by FEMA, the agency decided to release the maps on an advisory basis. The pre-existing maps were old and outdated. On January 31, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed Executive Order 230, also acknowledging the new FEMA maps and allowing for those in the hardest-hit areas to proceed with rebuilding notwithstanding conflicts with certain current zoning restrictions.įEMA had been in the process of restudying areas of the New Jersey and New York coastline when the devastating storm hit. On January 24, in a move designed to speed recovery from Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey adopted new advisory base flood elevation maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to aid in recovery from the storm, and amended its flood hazard rules to apply the new maps to the rebuilding efforts.
