WEATHERFORD â Since Parker County joined the National Flood Insurance Program in 1990, new requirements and community pushback has caused concerns, commissioners were told Tuesday.
The federal program, managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is valuable to areas of the county, particularly near the Brazos River, that are prone to regular flooding.
âAll of the area around the Brazos River is mostly designated as a floodway, and itâs the type of flood plain that requires a little extra to get permitting approved,â Parker County Permitting Director/Floodplain Manager Ryen Mowrey said.
That âextraâ includes an engineering study and a hydrological hydraulic analysis by a professional engineer, which are pretty expensive and extensive to get done, Mowrey said.
