Floodplain Ordinance Update and Letter Concerning Flood Hazard Determination –
Solicitor Karpowich noted that FEMA updated flood hazard areas and as a result we have some
updated flood areas on SR 890, Irish Valley, Clemens, and Carroll Roads. He explained that this
is done so that owners in flood zones can get flood insurance which is written by the government
so the township must comply with the federal government rules.

and mesothelioma on our website. The board agreed to not start placing this type of info on the
website that there is plenty of info out there on sites dedicated to these matters. The township
