Stedman, NC Environmental Rules: Flood Zones (2026)

5, the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, of the Cumberland County Code, except as the section itself allows. A preliminary or final plat covering land in a subdivision, group development or mobile home park that touches special flood hazard area must show a line delineating the boundary of that area, matching the 100-year special flood hazard boundary shown on Cumberland County's official Flood Boundary and Floodway Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map, labeled the '100-year floodplain,' and annotated with the map's effective date, community number and map number plus a notice that FEMA can revise the line.

Where a levee is proposed to alter the floodplain line, the plat must add a levee base contour line, a line twenty feet outside it, a revised floodplain line once FEMA approves the levee, and a twenty-foot watercourse maintenance line along any watercourse whose flow the levee would restrict. 5 and may be limited or precluded by it. A final plat proposing to alter the floodplain by levee cannot be approved for a downstream lot until the revised floodplain line is annotated on the plat. 5.
