Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report v
Preface
Through Risk Mapping Assessment and Planning, or Risk MAP, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is collaborating with States, Tribes, and local stakeholders to help
make communities safer and stronger by working with them to identify real hazards, actions that
can reduce their impact, and available resources and solutions. This report captures the first step in
this process—Discovery.
During the Discovery phase, FEMA and the collaborators work to gather community knowledge,
apply the best scientific modeling, and begin to look at where the safety of residents and security
of communities may be at risk. This report can be used as the community moves forward in
identifying and taking risk reducing actions, and FEMA will continue to coordinate and
communicate with the Middle Connecticut Watershed communities to identify potential
partnership opportunities in the process of building resilience.
This Discovery Report documents the data that has been collected, as well as information on
community needs and priorities obtained as a part of Discovery Meetings. It includes a summary
of the findings of the first step of the Discovery process including flood mapping priorities.
Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report 1
I. Discovery Overview
The Discovery process, which identifies the priorities and areas of concern for communities within
a watershed, helps FEMA and the communities better understand the projects that may help reduce
their risk from natural disasters. Through the Discovery process, FEMA can determine which areas
of a watershed may be funded for further flood risk identification and assessment. These can be big
decisions for a community, and the Discovery process helps to ensure that FEMA works in a
collaborative manner, taking into consideration the information collected from local communities.
During Discovery, FEMA and the State reach out to local communities to:
▪ Gather information about local flood hazards and risk
▪ Document needs related to flood hazard mapping and the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP)
▪ Involve multi‐disciplinary staff from within communities to participate and assist in the
identification and mitigation of risk
The result of the Discovery process is the data and community knowledge captured in this
Discovery Report, which was used to develop a Risk MAP project scope of work.

II. General Information
General Watershed Information
The Middle Connecticut HUC8 Watershed is one of the largest of the 27 Massachusetts watersheds
and covers approximately 651,500 acres (1,017 square miles). It drains a substantial portion of
central Massachusetts, central to southern New Hampshire, and a small portion of southeastern
Vermont. It is comprised of three main river systems: the Connecticut, the Ashuelot and the Mill
Rivers. The southern portion of the watershed encompasses Springfield and is heavily urbanized
with areas of suburban sprawl. As you travel north through the watershed, the land use changes to
more forested and undeveloped land, with areas of agriculture directly adjacent to the Connecticut
River. The topography within the watershed is generally characterized by rolling hills and valleys
with a mean elevation of 760.37 feet NAVD88, a maximum elevation of 3,164.95 feet NAVD88,
and a mean slope of 7.04 degrees. The Middle Connecticut Watershed drains more than 1,017
square miles through 809 total stream miles. The major rivers draining the watershed include the
Connecticut, the Ashuelot and the Mill Rivers. The Middle Connecticut Watershed is located at a
centroid latitude of 42 degrees (Coordinates of Northfield are 42°41'47.54"N and 72°27'41.58"W,
Google Earth, August 2019). The typical climate is an average Winter temperature of 25 degrees
Fahrenheit (°F), an average of 67.9°F in the Summer and an average annual precipitation total of
46.4 inches (Northeast Climate Adaptation Center, 2018).
There are 62 communities in seven counties and three states that are within the study area in the
Middle Connecticut Watershed. Refer to the report cover and Project Area Community List. The
communities of Agawam, Ashfield, and Royalston have very limited portions of the town within
the Middle Connecticut watershed and lack a significant flooding source. Therefore, these three
communities were omitted from the Discovery Planning Process. According to the 2010 census
(U.S. Census, 2010), the 62 communities have a total population of 413,742. Many of the
communities have some area outside the watershed, so the total population inside the watershed is
likely less. The Middle Connecticut Watershed study area has a population density of about 406.41
people per square mile.
FEMA’s Discovery effort in the Middle Connecticut Watershed study area involves data collection,
cursory analysis, and community outreach for the purpose of prioritizing work for new engineering
analysis (surveying, hydrology, and hydraulics) and floodplain mapping within a limited financial
budget. The Discovery process was performed for the New Hampshire portion of the Middle
Connecticut watershed in March 2017 . This report summarizes the efforts for the Massachusetts
and Vermont portions of the Middle Connecticut watershed.
CNMS Overview
The NFIP Reform Act of 1994 requires FEMA to assess each participating community’s flood
hazard information on a regular basis. The Coordinated Needs Management Strategy, or CNMS,
provides a way for FEMA to track and inventory flood study needs, by community, in a spatial
format. Through completing annual State business plans and 5‐year map needs assessments, and
validating its effective flood risk studies, FEMA is able to maintain a record of stakeholder mapping
needs for reference during Discovery, project scoping, and project kickoff. The most recent CNMS
validation of effective Zones AE in FEMA Region 1 (New England) was completed in October
2016.
Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report 3
CNMS can show watershed stakeholders where flood hazard information exists that has been
“verified” by looking at factors such as the amount of development and physical and hydrological
changes in the drainage. Flood mapping needs indicated by CNMS will be verified and adjusted
based on input received during the Discovery process, as documented in this report.
Based on previous studies, the rivers and streams within the Middle Connecticut Watershed are
currently mapped as Zones A (approximate), AE (detailed), and X. According to CNMS (FEMA,
2016), portions of large rivers and most small rivers totaling 416 miles are currently mapped as
Zone A with approximate levels of detail in available flooding information. Approximately 335
stream miles have had detailed studies completed and are mapped as Zone AE.
Table 1 summarizes the results of the validation status obtained from the CNMS.

III. Watershed Community and Stakeholder Coordination
As part of the Discovery process, FEMA reached out to community officials and stakeholders.
These stakeholders represent organizations such as government agencies and other associations
that are involved with the Middle Connecticut Watershed. Stakeholders included representatives of
community emergency officials (police and fire departments), community land use departments,
selectmen, and building inspectors. In addition to representatives of the 62 communities within the
Middle Connecticut Watershed, the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont were
identified as stakeholders. A list of community and stakeholder contacts was prepared and kept
current throughout the Discovery process.
Several community contacts were elected officials whose terms may have expired during the
Discovery process. Up-to-date contact information was maintained via telephone conversations so
that information reached the proper community officials and stakeholder contacts. See Appendix
A for the most current list of community and stakeholder contacts at the time of this report. The list
of communities is shown on the inside cover at the front of this report.
The Discovery process was performed for the New Hampshire portion of the Middle Connecticut
watershed in March 2017. This report summarizes the efforts for the Massachusetts and Vermont
portions of the Middle Connecticut watershed. The communities and stakeholders were contacted
by letter, email, and telephone in the first and second weeks of November 2018 and were invited
to participate in data collection questionnaires to be conducted at the Discovery Meetings held on
November 27, and November 28, 2018.
Data collection questionnaires were available as an attachment via email and as a hardcopy paper
form available at the meeting. Community maps were also available for annotation by community
representatives. Of the 39 communities within the watershed in Massachusetts and Vermont, 22
responded by at least one of these means or a regional planning organization provided information
on their behalf. The remaining communities provided no response. Meetings were held in Turners
Falls, Massachusetts on November 27 and Amherst, Massachusetts, on November 28, 2018. The
attendance list, as well as information presented during the meeting (PowerPoint presentation and
meeting handouts), are included in Appendix B.
6 Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report
IV. Discovery Meeting
To communicate the Discovery process and include the expertise of key local stakeholders,
Discovery Meetings for the Middle Connecticut Watershed were held at the Great Falls Discovery
Center at 2 Avenue A, Turners Falls, MA on November 27, 2018 and at the Jones Library at 43
Amity Street, Amherst, MA on November 28, 2018. Twenty of the 39 invited communities were
represented at these meetings. Also in attendance were the Franklin Regional Council of
Governments and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. See Appendix B for the attendance
list from each meeting.
Identical information was presented at each Discovery Meeting. The community and stakeholder
representatives were first introduced to their local FEMA Region I contacts, State partners, and
Compass, FEMA’s consultant team. The information provided during the meeting included an
overview of Risk MAP, a description of the outreach that will occur over the course of the study,
the scope of work for the Middle Connecticut Watershed project, and the status of each
community’s mitigation plan. The communities were informed of the best available data including
the following;
▪ LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) elevation data;
▪ U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data for peakflows;
▪ Orthophotography data;
▪ Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Dam Rehabilitation Program data;
▪ USGS Streamgage data; and
▪ Existing Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs).
To help the attendees understand the components of the potential flood hazard study for this
watershed, the presenters described the three different levels of study that may be used. Each level
of study has a different methodology. These methodologies are summarized in Section VI – Next
Step:Prioritization of Study Area, which discusses the scope of the Middle Connecticut Watershed
study. To further illustrate these study types, each community was given a map showing the
Preliminary study designations for the streams in their municipality. Figure 2 shows the map for
the Town of Gill, Massachusetts as an example.
The community representatives in attendance received a Discovery Map to review and indicate
their areas of interest. This information was discussed in detail during the Discovery meeting.
Communities were encouraged to participate in the outreach meetings that would take place
throughout the life of the Risk MAP study and to communicate with FEMA and their local officials,
because enhanced communication is one of the primary goals of Risk MAP.
A question and answer session followed the presentation, and attendees broke into groups to review
and discuss any areas of interest they wanted to flag for potential study. See Appendix C for the
Discovery Meeting synopses.

V. Data Collection
Introduction
Data collected by Compass for the Discovery meeting planning process, both during and after
completion of the Discovery Meetings, are summarized below. Data are broken into two categories:
(1) data that can be used for flood risk projects and (2) other data. Other data include data that
provide information that assists in the selection during Discovery of high priority reaches for study
in a potential flood risk project but that are likely not useful to the analysis in any other way.
Data That Can Be Used for Flood Risk Projects
Information Provided by Communities
Twenty-three communities provided data and/or information during the Discovery process. This
was received in several different formats: paper and digital copies of the Discovery Map with
written notes, emails, memorandums, verbal feedback, and completed online questionnaires. This
included coordination and communication with the City of Amherst and their contractor on an
ongoing floodplain mapping effort. The questionnaires completed by communities are provided in
Appendix D. Information gathered as of February 2019 was included in this report.
Additional information from the 2017 Discovery efforts for communities in New Hampshire was
gathered and reviewed. Recommendations from the NH Discovery Report listed proposed stream
reaches, proposed study types, study length, number of structures, and number of cross-sections for
the portions of New Hampshire within the Middle Connecticut watershed.
Annotated Maps
The comments and areas of concern collected from the communities at the two Discovery Meetings
and other feedback mechanisms were digitized and considered for prioritization. There were 11
areas highlighted for their critical infrastructure, 9 areas of development or other concern, 21 areas
of hydraulic or hydrologic importance or change (such as bridge replacements or significa ntly
developed areas), 46 areas impacted by flooding, and 15 areas with requests for new or updated
study.
Of the 155 comments logged, 27 were for the Connecticut River from multiple communities in
Massachusetts. The comments for the Connecticut River included areas of development, flooding
issues, hydraulic changes, and requests for detailed study. In addition, communities provided
comments on other flooding sources such the Mill River, Sawmill River, and Hop Brook.
All of the comments will be entered into the CNMS database as requests that will be tracked and
updated as new studies are initiated or additional information becomes available.
Community Profiles
Each community profile (a one-sheet document with information about the community) included
the following: Community Identification number (CID); NFIP status; current map date; NFIP
regulation level (based on its flood map); number of Letters of Map Change (LOMCs);
participation in the NFIP Community Rating System (CRS); dates of Community Assistance
Contacts and Community Assistance Visits; demographics and industry information according to
the U.S. Census; presidentially declared disasters; NFIP policy data; levees and flood -control
structures; environmentally sensitive, Tribal, and coastal areas; and hazard mitigation plans and
Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report 9
grants. See Appendix E for Hazard Mitigation Plan status and Appendix F for the community
profiles for communities in Massachusetts and Vermont.
Letters of Map Change (LOMC)
Many of the existing Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) in the Middle Connecticut Watershed (NH,
MA, and VT) are clustered near rivers, including the Ashuelot River in Winchester and Keene; and
the confluence of Ash Swamp Brook and Ashuelot River in Keene and Swanzey. There was also a
cluster of LOMCs in Hadley.
If a study is initiated in a community, all LOMCs in the study area will be assessed and communities
will be informed if the LOMCs are anticipated to remain in effect or be superseded, first by the
Preliminary Summary of Map Actions (SOMA) at a study’s preliminary release and then by the
Final SOMA, when the Letter of Final Determination (LFD) is issued. When a new study becomes
effective, the communities receive a Revalidation Letter that officially indicates which LOMCs are
still effective.
Levee Information
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ National Levee Database (NLD) indicates that there are 31
accredited levees in the Middle Connecticut Watershed. Other flood-control structures exist within
the Middle Connecticut Watershed, including 146 mapped dams. These may also be assessed in
more detail if it is determined that the associated flood sources require further study or restudy.
Topographic Data
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data are available for the Middle Connecticut
Watershed study area and were used in First Order Approximation (FOA) (described in the Base
Level Engineering section below). The source for the Massachusetts LiDAR data was obtained
from a report titled Maine and Massachusetts 2015 QL1 and QL2 LiDAR Project Report (March
2018) prepared by Quantum Spatial, Inc. of Lexington, Kentucky on behalf of the USGS. The 2016
Eastern VT Windham County is the source for the LiDAR data for Vermont. A mosaicked LiDAR
dataset for the entire watershed was created and will be available for floodplain mapping and
analysis in a flood risk project.
Basemap Data
Transportation, hydrography, and political boundary features shown on the Discovery and
Community Information Maps were obtained from the online state Geographic Information
System (GIS) depot for Massachusetts (https://www.mass.gov/service-details/massgis-data-
layers) and Vermont in 2018 (http://geodata.vermont.gov/). The hydrography features are
sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). All basemap
features will be useful in the FIRM database for a potential flood risk project.
Base Level Engineering
Base Level Engineering (BLE) FOA is a FEMA initiative, taking place during Discovery, that
involves performing an approximate engineering analysis, updated floodplain mapping, and CNMS
validation for all Zones A in the watershed (FEMA, 2014). In the Middle Connecticut Watershed
study, FOA was performed in part for all Zones A (FEMA, 2016). Updated floodplain mapping
was not performed for these zones. The results of the analysis and mapping could be very useful in
a potential flood risk project. Current results include water surfaces for the 10, 4, 2, 1, and 0.2
10 Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report
percent Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) floods for all analyzed reaches. Once generated
from the surfaces, the floodplains can be used directly in updated regulatory mapping (e.g., FIRM
panels), and the water surfaces and depth grids can be used directly in nonregulatory products to
assist with planning. Water surfaces can also be used in the validation of LOMCs that FEMA
receives regarding properties that are mapped in Zones A. Currently, it is difficult to determine if
a property or structure is actually above the flood level because no numerical water surface is
available. With the creation of these new water surfaces, a numerical value for the flood height is
now available for comparison with the property and structure elevations to determine the validity
of LOMCs.
Other Data and information
Effective Flood Insurance Study/Flood Insurance Rate Map Data
Hydrology
Effective discharges were obtained from the Cheshire County (All Jurisdictions) (Federal
Emergency Management Agency 2006), Town of Easthampton (Federal Emergency Management
Agency 1979a), Town of South Hadley (Federal Emergency Management Agency 1979d), Town
of Vernon (Federal Emergency Management Agency 2007), Hampden County (All Jurisdictions)
(Federal Emergency Management Agency 2014), Town of Williamsburg (Federal Emergency
Management Agency 1980), Town of Shutesbury (Federal Emergency Management Agency
1979c), and Town of Leverett (Federal Emergency Management Agency 1979b) FIS reports.
Generally, effective flows were determined using either regional regression equations or gage
analyses. Although the FIS report is dated 2007, the effective flows reported were calculated from
earlier studies between 1979 and 1997.
Hydraulics
The most notable flooding events for the study reaches in the watershed were floods in March 1936,
September 1938, and October 2005. The 1936 event was caused by spring rains and snow melting,
whereas the 1938 event was cause by a week of heavy rains followed by a hurricane. The 2005
event was primarily isolated to the New Hampshire portion of the watershed, but represented the
greatest discharge over the period of record at multiple gages along the Ashuelot River (No.
01160350 and No. 01157000). The watershed was also impacted by major floods in 1927, 1960,
1969, and 2011.
National Flood Insurance Program Claims Data
FEMA furnished a dataset of all claims made against the NFIP since its inception in the 1970s until
December 31, 2015. In the Massachusetts and Vermont communities in the Middle Connecticut
Watershed study area, the data pull returned 368 NFIP claims in that period, totaling $6,204,839
with an average reimbursement of $16,960.22 per claim filed.
Often, a successful NFIP claim occurs when a property is flooded that, according to the effective
FIRM, is at risk of flooding during the base flood. (The exceptions are claims against “discount”
policies for properties that are located outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. The percentage of
claims in this category could not be ascertained with the data provided, but is assumed to be small.)
Therefore, NFIP claims data cannot be used to draw any conclusions for Discovery about reaches
that may be high priorities for restudy because of outdated hydrology, hydraulics, topography, o r
structure inventories. However, high concentrations of NFIP claims (especially expensive ones)
Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report 11
may draw attention to hotspots where population, structure inventories, and flood hazard are all
unusually high, highlighting the high-priority opportunities for mitigation.
NFIP claims hotspots were determined by a point density analysis that calculated the cumulative
dollar value of claims within a one-kilometer radius. Note that this analysis does not take the timing
of claims into account, so mitigation efforts may have already been undertaken on some or all of
these reaches in response to flood events early in the history of the NFIP.
Reach Selection
By synthesizing the results of all analyses presented above, as well as study age, map age, and risk
(how many structures and people are in the effective floodplain), a final list of stream reaches was
selected for updated engineering and mapping. Appendix G includes figures showing areas of
interest for potential study as identified by communities, a community feedback table with
numbered comments corresponding to those figures, and a list of the 141 miles of prioritized
streams that will be studied in the Middle Connecticut Watershed.
12 Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report
VI. Next Step: Prioritization of Study Areas
As discussed during the Discovery Meeting, three different levels of study may be used during the
study of the Middle Connecticut Watershed: (1) detailed study, (2) approximate study/base level
engineering, and (3) redelineation. Information and stakeholder feedback from the 2017 New
Hampshire Discovery effort and the 2018 Massachusetts/Vermont Discovery effort were utilized.
Figure 3 shows the type of studies that will be conducted on the streams within the Middle
Connecticut Watershed.
Each level of study uses a different methodology, as summarized below:
(1) Riverine Zone AE (Detailed Study)
• Most detailed and most expensive riverine study
• Structures and cross-sections are field surveyed
• Streamgage data or regression equations used for hydrology, and Hydrologic
Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) modeling used for hydraulics
• Flood way data table and flood profiles are included in the FIS
• Mapping:
o Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), appeal eligible
o Cross sections
o Flood way
o 1 percent annual exceedance probability (100-year flood) floodplain
o 0.2 percent annual exceedance probability (500-year flood) floodplain
(2) Riverine Zone A (Base Level Engineering)
• Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling analysis based on new terrain data
• Streamgage data or regression equations used for hydrology, and HEC-RAS modeling
used for hydraulics
• No field survey
• Cross-sectional values derived from new LiDAR terrain data
• Mapping: Approximate delineation for the 1-percent annual-chance event, no BFEs
• Also available: Delineations and analysis grids for 0.2-, 2-, 4-, 10-, and 1-percent ±
annual-chance events
(3) Redelineation (Zone AE)
Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Report 13
• No new engineering analysis
• Acceptable when effective BFEs are considered accurate
• Effective elevation data are transferred to new LiDAR terrain data to create new
floodplain delineations for a FIRM
• FIS data: same as effective study
FEMA Region I used the information provided by communities—as shared in this Discovery
Report—to help determine priority areas for study in the next phase of the Risk MAP process. The
final selection and prioritization of areas for new study depends on the funds that Congress allocates
to Region I for this purpose. Additionally, individual communities may choose to conduct their
own studies of priority areas and/or take mitigation actions, and provide that information to FEMA
Region I for consideration as part of the updated maps the communities may receive in the future.

VII. Close
Local officials in the Middle Connecticut Watershed communities were willing participants in the
Discovery process and were open to learning more about how they can begin to develop resiliency
to flood, storm, and manmade hazard events. They identified areas for map updates and areas in
which they could use additional technical support from FEMA.
Using the input from the Discovery Meeting, the project team finalized the Discovery Report and
Map. From this information, FEMA Region I has developed a scope of work and budget for the
Middle Connecticut Watershed Risk MAP project. The Region assessed the mapping needs in the
Middle Connecticut Watershed against the mapping needs across the entire Region before selecting
and initiating this Risk MAP project. Project selection is contingent upon the level of funding
FEMA Region I receives, which varies yearly. FEMA Region I will communicate with the
communities about project selections, when appropriate.
If the mapping needs have changed since the information was provided during Discovery, or if the
need for a new project is identified after the publication of the Discovery Report, the affected
community is responsible for providing updates to the Region. Additionally, if a community has
the capacity to provide leveraged data or contribute funding toward the completion of a Risk MAP
project, FEMA Region I took that information into consideration when prioritizing its projects.
With the completion of the Discovery process for the Middle Connecticut Watershed project, the
project will move into the next phase which includes the following Risk MAP project workflow:
▪ Data development procedures, which includes engineering-related activities, such as
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, floodplain mapping, and risk assessments
▪ Development of Preliminary FIRMs, which will be distributed to the communities upon
completion of the revisions
▪ Post-preliminary processing tasks, which include initiating the appeal and comment period,
community ordinance updates, and distributing the effective FIRM products
▪ Outreach meetings and community engagement for the entire project life cycle
▪ Mitigation planning support for the entire project

Hello,
On behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region I office, thank you for allowing
us to present on the FEMA Discovery process at the Discovery meeting last week. For your reference, I
have included a copy of the final PowerPoint presentation and a copy of the sign-in sheets. We hope
that you found the information valuable, and we appreciate both your time and input during this
important process.
As discussed during the meeting, breakout session and in the enclosed presentation, we are seeking
input on your mapping needs, data and information on your flooding issues, and/or data related to
changes in the floodplain. Please provide input by January 11, 2019. At that point, we will summarize all
input we have received into a Discovery Report and update the prioritization of streams for detailed
study.
Information can be sent electronically to my email address (BuiFA@cdmsmith.com) or can be sent to the
following address to my attention:

What is the value of Risk MAP?
Through collaboration with State, Local, and Tribal entities, Risk Mapping and
Planning (Risk MAP) will deliver quality data that increases public awareness
andleads to action that reduces risk to life and property
7
Discovery
Discovery is the process of data mining, collection, and analysis with the goal of
conducting a comprehensive watershed study and initiating communication and
mitigation planning discussions with the communities in the watershed
When
After an area/watershed has been prioritized
Before a Risk MAP project scope is finalized
Why
Increases visibility of flood risk information
Increases education and involvement of communities
Potential Next Steps
Flood studies
Flood risk assessments
Mitigation planning technical assistance projects

(DOT), or others in the study area that could be used in an Flood Insurance Study update?
? Yes __ No
If yes, please provide information, including brief details, dates, extents, and contact information so that
the data can be obtained for Discovery.
The federal government National Resources Office did a study of the Depot Rd/Long Plain area to see if
it was eligible for their grant funds. It was not.
Are there any recent hydrologic and hydraulic studies, land development, or infrastructure projects in the
watershed that could affect flood risk?
Not that we are aware of. Drainage has been improved somewhat in the Depot Rd and Juggler Meadow
areas. Leverett does not contain major development projects.
Funding

__ Yes X No __ I don’t know
If yes, please provide details.
Levees
Are there levees in your community that provide protection from the 100-year flood on flooding sources
in the study area?
__ Yes X No __ I don’t know
If yes, please provide, for each levee, the flooding source protected against, the general location of the
levee, and the owner and point of contact for the levee.
If yes, do these levees meet FEMA 65.10 requirements?
__ Yes __ No __ I don’t know
If they do meet the requirements, do you have the documentation to support recertification?
__ Yes __ No __ I don’t know
GIS Data
Any extra geospatial data that your community can provide, especially building footprints and occupancy,
essential facilities, and historic flooding information, may significantly improve the flood risk datasets
that may be provided in a RiskMAP project.

Subject: Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Meetings
Town of Williamsburg, Hampshire County, Massachusetts
Community No.: 250174
Dear Mr. Mathers:
I am writing to inform you of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) upcoming Risk
Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) Discovery Meeting for the Middle Connecticut
Watershed. Risk MAP is a FEMA program that helps communities identify , assess, and reduce their flood
risk. By combining quality engineering with updated flood hazard data, FEMA provides accurate and
easy-to-use information to enhance local mitigation plans , improve community outreach, and increase
local awareness to flood hazards .
The Discovery process commences at the beginning of a Risk MAP project and assists in identifying the
scope of the watershed study. The Discovery Meeting is part of the Discovery process , and the
information exchanged between FEMA and communities within the Middle Connecticut Watershed
during Discovery will improve our understanding of your watershed's flood hazard mapping and
mitigation planning. A Community Information Map for your community, displaying data that we have
compiled for your community, will be provided at the Discovery Meeting. As discussed when we spoke
to the Floodplain Administrator or representative from your community, during Discovery, FEMA
intends to gather information about local flood risk and flood hazards. Please see the attached
questionnaire with the data we hope to gather from you .
The follo wing Discovery Meetings have been scheduled for the Middle Connecticut Watershed. There
will be two meetings in the Middle Connecticut Watershed and both meetings will cover the same
information so please attend the one which is more convenient for you.
November 27th, 2018

At the Discovery Meeting, we will review the flood ri: k data we have gathered to date by presenting a
draft Middle Connecticut Watershed Discovery Map. We will also discuss your community's flooding
history, flood risk concerns and mitigation. Any data c r in formation that you can provide will aid in this
discussion.
In addition to inviting community leaders, emergency an agers, GIS specialists, and local planners to the
Discovery Meeting, FEMA will invite other stakehold '!rs w ith a vested interest in the Middle Connecticut
Watershed's resources, floodplains, and flood risk. Th s may include representatives from State, Federal,
regional, and local agencies and associations. Togethe ·, W"! will discuss the study that will be conducted
in the Middle Connecticut Watershed, any informatior you have to provide, and the importance of
mitigation planning and community outreach.
We encourage you and/or any other relevant floodplai 1 m anagement staff to attend this important
meeting. The partnership and exchange of data between F :::MA and your community will be vital to our
success in identifying flood risks and needs that may exist. In addition to the questionnaire, if there are
any data related to your community's flood risk that y ou have not yet provided to us, but that you would
like to have taken into consideration when reviewing . ·our flood risk, please bring it to the meeting or
send it to the following address:

It would be a huge help if you could provide the base flood elevations for Guilford. I know that is
not likely to happen due to zone A status, but it is a constant source of irritation to the Town
Administration and the citizens when the individual residents have to expend personal funds to
determine their presence in the SFHA or to start a new project,

The city does not have funding to offer. We do have detailed citywide LiDAR data and orthophotos that
we flew (and shared with MassGIS) and planimetric maps that we commissioned that can be used.
Levees
Are there levees in your community that provide protection from the 100-year flood on flooding sources
in the study area?
XX Yes __ No __ I don’t know
If yes, please provide, for each levee, the flooding source protected against, the general location of the
levee, and the owner and point of contact for the levee.
Levees around downtown protect from the Connecticut River (on the south and east) and the Mill River
(on the west). The levees are owned and operated by the City of Northampton Department of Public
Works, David Veleta City Engineer as contact.
If yes, do these levees meet FEMA 65.10 requirements?
__ Yes __ No XX I don’t know
If they do meet the requirements, do you have the documentation to support recertification?
__ Yes __ No XX I don’t know
GIS Data
Any extra geospatial data that your community can provide, especially building footprints and occupancy,
essential facilities, and historic flooding information, may significantly improve the flood risk datasets
that may be provided in a RiskMAP project.
Does your community have any of the following types of spatial data that are other than or better than the
data available from the state GIS depot? Check one box for each row.
Yes – better
than state GIS
Yes – worse
than or same as
state GIS
No I don’t

Other
If “Other” was selected as better than state GIS, please describe below.
For each dataset selected as better than state GIS above, please provide general information about the
data, including ground date, accuracy/scale, and general coverage area.
The city commissioned citywide LiDAR remote sensing with the assistance of USGS. We have provided
this to MassGIS but I don’t know if it is in their publically accessible database or not. Wetlands data is
state and federal data augmented by data retrieved from local applications for wetlands permits.
If there are planned updates or acquisitions for any of the above datasets, please provide general
information, including projected date, accuracy/scale, and general coverage area.
Add any other information that you would like us to know about GIS data in your community.
Compliance and Training
Compass contacted the Floodplain Administrator (FPA) in most Watershed communities prior to sending
this questionnaire. To make sure we have all the pertinent contact information accurately, please confirm
the name, best mailing address, phone number, and email information as well as the department and title

Comments or Questions
Add any other comments or questions that you have about any aspect of RiskMAP projects, the
Discovery process, or flood risk in general.
Do you expect that any other official in your community may have anything to add about the topics in this
questionnaire?
X__ No, I am the best source _X_ Yes, other(s) may know more __ I don’t know
If yes, please specify the official(s) below (name, department, and title) who may be able to contribute
more information. Please also feel free to share the link to the online questionnaire with them directly, if
they have not already received it.
David Veleta, City Engineer, Northampton Department of Public Works is the best source for information
on the levees around downtown and for stormwater engineering studies.
This concludes the survey. Thank you!
