The flood hazard revisions are being proposed as part of Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Case No. 26-05-0384P for the constructed Martinsville Levee along West Fork White River.
Specifically, the flood hazard information shall be revised along West Fork White River from CR 300 W running south from SR67 intersection to approximately 1000ft south of Wilbur Rd and SR 39 intersection along West Fork White River.

The Special Flood Hazard Area will mainly decrease along West Fork White River but will have a slight increase at the southern part of the revision along a portion of Indian Creek just west of I-69.
