MEMO TO: President and Board of Trustees
FROM: Dale L.Durfey,Jr..P.E.,Village Engineer
SUBJECT: DuPage County Storm f er Maea� Flood Plain Mapping Program
Resolution in Support DuPage
RECOMMENDATION: That the President end Board of Trustees Appprrovve�attached resolution oi which
requests the Federd Emergency Management g
Department of Natund Resasm to accept the DuPage County Flood Plain Maps
DuPage County adopted a Stormwater Management Plan in 1989 which, among other things, recognized
the need for accurate flood mapping to reduce the flood damage to public health, safety, life,and property,
and to prevent increases in future damage. Since that time,the County staff has developed a methodology
consisting of state-of-the-art computer models which represent storm runoff more accurately than the
current methodology used to create the current FEMA and State flood Plain maps,which became effective
in 1981. FEMA and the Illinois Department of Natural Resouces,Office of Water Resources(IOWR)have
been reviewing the County methodology since December 199I but have not yet approved of it.
Additionalh rapid urban expansion within Dupape County over the past two decades has resulted in
changes in land cover conditions and the construction of flood control measures which have affected the
magnitude of flood flows and the limits of flooding. The existing flood plain maps that were developed in
the late 19?0's do not, in some areas• reflect the impact of such urbanization on floodplain and floodway
limits. DuPage County has stated that it is able and willing to update out-of-date maps as part of the
watershed planning process and wishes to do so in conjunction with its newly developed stormwater
methodology.
DuPage County recently approved Resolution SM-0032-95 which requests FEMA and IOWR to accept the
flood plain maps as generated using the Count} methodology. President Bushy. who is a member of the
County Stormwater Committee.has asked that the Village consider a similar resolution.
This item is being placed on the Village Board agenda of December 12, 1995 for your consideration.

and wishes to do so in conjunction with its newly developed
stormwater methodology.
DuPage County recently approved Resolution SM-0032-95 which
requests FEMA and IOW'R to accept the flood plain maps as
generated using the County methodology. President Bushy,who is a ;I
member of the County Stormw°ater Committee,has asked that the
Village consider a similar resolution.
George Mueller,3113 Meyers Road,stated to the Village Board that
there are substantiated errors in the DuPage County Flood Plain Maps
for regulation and flood insurance purposes. Mr. Mueller will I'
forward this information to Village Engineer Durfey and Village
President Bushy. President Bushy,as a member of the Stormwater
Management Committee,will present this information to its members.
i
Trustee Shumate inquired what affect this adoption of the proposed
resolution will have on the Village. Trustee Payovich explained that
new watershed information will change some properties within the
Village to be added or removed from the flood plain. This resolution
will correct the inadequacies of these nvm, . The improvements in the
maps had been delayed due to the County's stormwater methodology.
President Bushy suggested the DuPage Department of Environ►nentai
Concerns has produced maps that supersede any other maps for
accuracy.
Motion by Trustee Payovich, seconded by Trustee McInerney,to
adopt Resolution 95-SW74-F-R-665,"Village of Oak Brook Request
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of
Natural Resources Accept DuPage County Flood Plain Maps for
