Press release from the City of Newport Beach:

Newport Beach property owners seeking FEMA approval for flood map changes based on the addition of soil (fill) to change land elevation or redirect water ways have until August 14, 2020 to submit applications.

FEMA has advised the City that it is suspending application processing for Letters of Map Revision based on fill (LOMR-Fs) and Conditional Letters of Map Revision based on fill (CLOMR-Fs) in the City of Newport Beach and other communities.

If you are a property owner seeking one of these approvals, please be advised:

• Applications received after August 14, 2020 will NOT be accepted, and will be suspended without issuing a determination.
• Applications that were sent before this effective date will be processed and completed provided that the documents have all the necessary information.
• Requests to reopen already existing LOMR-F and CLOMR-F applications must be received before August 14 (this applies to applications that were closed due to inactivity).

Property owners are asked to direct questions to FEMA’s Julia Gillespie at 510-627-7248 or nfip-esa-consultation-2020@fema.dhs.gov.
