Description
  Abstract: Contains features representing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100 and 500 year floodplains (FIRM: Flood Insurance Rate Maps), US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory, and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act areas.
  Purpose: Environmental Regulation areas are used in the City's permitting processes, as State of Virginia regulations and local ordinances effect development activities in environmentally sensitive areas. These GIS layers are used to flag properties (hence addresses) to whether or not they are in an environmental regulation area for use in the City's data warehousing and central address systems.
