Mobile LiOAR (Light Detection and Ranging) project; 8 survey data collection ondOOOdp|3in mapping
project that will oorneCt FEMA OoOdp|@in mapping errors, resulting in a direct economic benefit to
negatively affected property owners, The project will also quantify the number and types of dock and pier
structures in Lake Worth, enhance emergency response operations, and develop detailed topographic
information tO assist in trail and park enhancements around Lake Worth.
On September 25, 2009, FEMA updated all of the floodplain maps for the City of Fort Worth. The City is
required [o use these maps sothat affordable flood insurance will continue tobe available tnour
residents, and the premiums will be reflective Vf the actual risk. Unfortunately, the 2OO9Uoodp|ainmaps
included many significant errors, incorrectly placing as many as 500 homes and businesses in the
floodp|@in. The City of Fort Worth is required by federal regulations adopted by our F|oodp|3in Provisions
Lugn4me:20MOBlLEUDAR Pagelof3
Ordinance to request re-mapping of incorrect FEMA floodplain boundaries when the boundaries are
known b}beinaccurate.
The average cost to a resident of Fort Worth for a flood insurance policy in a floodplain is approximately
$850.00 per year. Force-placed OOOd insurance policies through mortgage companies are frequently two-
three Linle8 more expensive. The errors in this particular situation COU|d impose as D1UCh as $1.4 DOiUi0O in
unwarranted flood insurance premiums On Fort Worth property owners.
Mobile LiDAR technology will be utilized to quickly and accurately survey each of the project areas k}
determine k] what extent the flOodp|ain must be re-mapped. Contour data generated by the Mobile LiDAR
survey will be used to determine accurate boundaries Of the FEK4AUoodp|@in and finish floor elevations for
all insurable StRJCtU[eg in the project areas to provide the required proof to FEK4A and mortgage
companies, This project vvi||gne8UynBdVCe the amount nf staff time required tOassist the property owners
in this area and establish floodplain maps that are reflective of the actual risk of flooding.
8k][mwat8r staff is also coordinating with Water Department tO include a survey Of dock and pier
structures in Lake Worth, as well as developing detailed topographic information for use in park and trail
planning. A normal pool elevation contour for Lake Worth will also be created, and emergency response
operations will benefit by identifying the most flood-prone areas. The technology will also be evaluated as
an alternate method of determining impervious cower for utility rate billing. Fina||y, the high-resolution
elevation data will be used to model existing storm drain systems and feasible improvements in the Hulen
Bend project area.
The Water Department is funding $99,707.00 for the Lake Worth shoreline survey. The survey of the lake
perimeter will include documenting boat dock locations and data to be used during the planning of the trail
system.
