LD 758 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolve, To Update Flood Mapping In The Sandy River Watershed To Federal Emergency Management Agency Standards

This bill directs Maine's Office of Community Affairs to create a pilot project updating flood maps in the Sandy River watershed to meet federal FEMA standards. It requires coordination with state agencies (like Environmental Protection and Emergency Management) and federal partners (FEMA, USGS) to develop new flood modeling. The project must seek federal or nonstate funding to cover costs, and the office will provide technical support to affected communities, riverfront landowners, and local organizations. The primary impact is on communities within the Sandy River watershed, which will receive updated flood risk information.
