Flood Plain Elevation of Lake Ballinger
6/20/11
Policy # : 062011
Issue: In order for construction to occur in flood hazard areas, a base flood elevation
(BFE) must be established as a reference to build by. Also, the ability to obtain flood
insurance is based on the relationship between the elevation of a structure and the
established base flood elevation. Normally, these elevations are predetermined and
provided on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, or FIRM. In Zone A on the FIRM,
where no BFE is determined, the Building Official may establish a BFE based on
accepted hydrologic engineering practices or actual historical data. Such is the case with
Lake Ballinger, which is located within Zone A.
Policy: Based on the historical data provided in the attached documents, the base flood
elevation for Lake Ballinger is recognized as 286.14 based on NAVD88. Construction
projects within this zone designed under the International Building Code or International
Residential Code shall use this number as the BFE.

SUBJECT: Flood Plain Elevation of Lake Ballinger
CODE(S): International Residential Building Code
The Building Official is recognized as the Local Flood Management Administrator for the City
of Edmonds. Flood Resistant Construction regulations are contained in the International
Residential Building Code Section R323.
R323.1 states, `buildings and structures constructed in flood hazard areas (including A or V
Zones) as established in Table R302.1.2 (1) shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the provisions contained in this section.' However, the code is silent when base flood elevation
data has not been provided. Therefore, the Local Flood Management Administrator shall obtain,
review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available, from a
federal, state or other source in order to administer the provisions of IRC Section R323.
Regarding Lake Ballinger, the City received the attached letter dated May 10, 2001, from City of
Mountlake Terrace official, Willem Van Ry, P.E. concerning the lake elevation. Mountlake
Terrace officials are responsible for monitoring the lake levels and according to city
documentation the highest water surface elevation observed at Lake Ballinger was 282.5 feet
(based on NGVD 1929) taken during the 1996 December flooding event.
Therefore, for the purposes of administering the provisions of IRC Section 323 and R323.1.3, the
Base Flood Elevation of Lake Ballinger is hereby established as 282.5 feet (based on NGVD
1929).
Permit applications shall be accompanied with a stamped survey showing the base flood
elevation of Lake Ballinger (282.5 ft) and the elevation of the first (lowest) floor of the structure
for compliance to R323.1.4. 11 V D S&

The above established elevation is subject to change by the Building Official upon review of
additional substantiated data.

NOTES/COMTgNTS: Attached is a copy of a letter to Mr. Bob Freitag of the Federal Management
Emergency
Administration (FFMA) from me, dated March 20,1987,
Earlier this week you requested information on the water surface elevation of Lake Ballinger resulting
from a 100 year stoma. At issue was the elevation of a new home to be constTucEed on a lot abutting the
lake.
The attached letter provides information about water surface elevations for Lake Ballinger resulting
at
from a 100 year storm event, based on two situations. One with the first downstream culvert open, the
second with it blocked Please review the letter_
Since the letter was written, there was a flooding event that resulting in the highest water surface
elevation that I know to have occurred in the past twenty-six years. The appro)61mte elevation -was 282.5
feet. Please be advised that this elevation and all other elevations are based on NGVD 1929. To assure
that there are no discrepandes in the elevations of .the proposed construction and those contained in this
letter, I recommend that the elevation at the site be ched ed with those of the lake level cormol weir located
on McAleer Creek It is located within the NQe Temple property ac the southeast comer of the Lake.
Information regarding elevations of the weir structure can be obtained from MIe Shaw, Storm water
Coordinator for the City, at 425.670.8264.
I hope you find this iafomnarion helpful. If you have questions, please call me at 425.744.6271.

Subjects Lake Ballinger Maximum Flood Elevation
Dear Fir. Freitag:
Please find the enclosed copy of sheet 5 of the Lake Ballinger
Restoration Project, Phase II.
In our telephone conversation of last week you requested my
opinion of the maximum possible flood elevation that would result
from a 100-year storm. Based on my personal observations of the
lake elevation during events of that magnitude, I stated that,
with the present confio_uration of the weir and the first
downstream culvert and with the 60-inch culvert clear, the lake
level had not risen above an elevation of 280.0 feet. Under
these conditions, an elevation of 280.5 would be a conservative
estimate of the 100-year flood level for the lake.
If the first culvert downstream of the weir became completely
blocked, it would cause the lake level to rise to an elevation of
approxiiiiately 283 feet before water could again flow out of the
lake. The area it would flow through is adjacent to the creek on
the north side, and though the enclosed plan does not show the
contours, is a broad area capable of conveying a substantial
quantity of flow. Based on these observations, a conservative
estimate of the maximum level of the lake resulting from a
100-year event with the 60-inch culvert completely blocked is 285
feet. Please note that although the profile on plan shows the
ground above the 60-inch culvert to be at an elevation of
approximately 284.3 feet, the adjacent area to the north is at a
lower elevation.
With regards to ,the lake front ownQr with a house.at elevation
290 feet, the possibility of lake water flowing in the structure
appears to be extremely remote and limited to events of a
magnitude much greater than a 100-year storm.
Sincerely,
V"ji)

Actuarial Rates. -Rates established by the Federal In-
surance Administration pursuant to Flood Insurance
Studies for individual communities. These rates are
set in accordance with the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) and accepted actuarial principles.
Subject to various other limitations, actuarial rates are
applicable only after the publication and effective date
of a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The elevation for which
there is a one -percent chance in any given year that
flood levels will equal or exceed it. The BFE is de-
termined by statistical analysis of streamflow records
for the watershed and rainfall and runoff characteris-
tics in the general region of the watershed.
Coastal High Hazard Area. The portion of a coastal
floodplain that is subject to high velocity waters
caused by tropical storms, hurricanes, northeasters,
or tsunamis. NFIP regulations for Coastal High Hazard
Areas apply where tides, storm waves and surges, and
local geographic characteristics combine to produce a
breaking wave of three feet or more.
Debris Impact Loads. Loads induced on a structure
by solid objects carried by flood water. Debris can
include trees, lumber, displaced sections of struc-
tures, tanks, runaway boats, and chunks of ice. Debris
impact loads are difficult to predict accurately, yet rea-
sonable allowances must be made for them in the de-
sign of potentially affected structures.
Encroachment. Any physical object placed in a flood -
plain that hinders the passage of water or otherwise
affects flood flows.
Existing Construction. Those structures already exist-
ing or on which construction or substantial .im-
provement was started prior to the effective date of a
community's floodplain management regulations.
First Floor. The floor that is level with or immediately
above the main point of entry into the building. For
residences, it is additionally that floor that comprises
the main living area of the dwelling.
Flood or Flooding. A general and temporary condi-
tion of partial or complete inundation of normally dry
land areas. Flooding results from the overflow of in-
land or tidal waters or the unusual and rapid accumu-
lation of surface water runoff from any source.
Flood Fringe. The area within the floodplain (as de-
termined by the reach of the one -percent -probability
flood) that is outside the floodway.
Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM). An official
map of a community, issued or approved by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency on which
the -boundaries of the floodplain and special flood
hazard areas have been designated. This map is
prepared according to the best flood data available
at the time of its preparation, and is superseded by
the Flood Insurance Rate Map after more detailed
studies have been completed.
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). An official map
-of a community, issued or approved by the Federal
Insurance Administration, that delineates both the
special hazard areas and the risk premium zones ap-
plicable to the community.
Flood Insurance Study (FI5). A study, funded by the
Federal Insurance Administration and carried out by
any of a variety of agencies and consultants, to de-
lineate the special flood hazard areas, base flood ele-
vations, and NFIP actuarial insurance rate zones. The
study is based on detailed site surveys and analysis of
site -specific hydrologic characteristics.
Floodplain. Any normally dry land area that is suscep-
tible to being inundated by water from any natural
source. This area is usually low land adjacent to a
river, stream, watercourse, ocean, or lake.
Floodphda Management. The operation of a pro-
gram of corrective and preventive measures for re-
ducing flood damage, including but not limited to
flood control projects, floodplain land use regula-
tions, floodproofing of buildings, and emergency
preparedness plans.
Flood Profile. A graph showing the relationship of
water surface elevation to a specific location, the lat-
ter generally expressed as distance above the mouth
of a stream of water flowing in an open channel. It is
generally drawn to show surface elevation for the
crest of a specific magnitude of flooding, but may be
prepared for conditions at any given time or stage.
Floodproofing. Any combination of structural pro-
visions and/or other modifications incorporated into
individual buildings or properties primarily for the
purpose of reducing or eliminating flood, damages.
