Staff outlines FEMA notice and box-culvert work tied to East Wolf Run extension

Public-works staff explained the village will construct an extension of East Wolf Run requiring twin 8-by-5 box culverts and a resulting FEMA flood analysis. The FEMA notification letters will be mailed to landowners along the tributary to the McGilongal River to inform them of minor changes in 100-year water-surface elevations, generally within non-buildable creek areas.

"With the construction of the extension of East Wolf, run, we'll be putting in, twin 8 by 5 box culverts. In order to do that, we need to do a FEMA analysis," staff (Michalski) said. He told the board the changes are on the order of about an inch increase or decrease in a couple of locations and characterized the notifications as informational because they do not affect developable land.

Staff said the notification letters are being mailed to affected property owners and that no board action was required for the informational item.
