How to delineate flood plain line

How to delineate flood plain line

(OP)
Hi guys:

Is there any general rule for delineate a flood plain line for a certine flooded area.

RE: How to delineate flood plain line

I would also be interested to hear how others solve this problem.  

In the past I have used contour/elevation maps.  Example:  If the flood elevation is 90.2' then the delineated flood line would follow the 90.2' contour.

RE: How to delineate flood plain line

Lots of nefarious developers will pay a lot of money for an Engineer to determine a location previously noted as in a flood plain to now *not* be in a flood plain, so they can develop it.

If you have to ask that kind of a question on this forum I submit to you it is out of your realm of expertise, and possibly in the above situation.

But, hey, it's your license...
