	Communities (cities, counties or states) participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are required to regulate construction in the floodplain.

	The district must complete and submit a Request for Environmental Services ([[127.1 Request for Environmental Services\|RES]]) to the Design Division’s Environmental Section. Upon receiving an RES from the district, the environmental specialist will determine whether the community or county in which the project is located has been mapped by FEMA for floodplain and floodways. If the community or county has not been mapped by FEMA, floodplain permitting is not required. This is communicated to the district via the RES. If the community has been mapped, then the environmental specialist will identify the extent of encroachment, if any, into the [[748.9 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)#748.9.3 Floodway\|1% floodplain and/or regulatory floodway]] and whether the community or county participates in the [[748.9 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)\|National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)]]. If there is to be an encroachment into the [[748.9 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)#748.9.3 Floodway\|1% floodplain]], MoDOT must obtain a floodplain development permit from SEMA. If there will also be an encroachment into the regulatory floodway, MoDOT must issue a [[:Category:101 Standard Forms\|"No-Rise" Certification]] as required by SEMA to obtain a floodplain development permit that is needed for any encroachment into the 1% floodplain. As indicated in the RES response, the environmental specialist will communicate this information to the district, which will then take the appropriate steps, often in consultation with the [http://~~wwwi~~/~~intranet~~/br/default.~~htm~~ Bridge Division], to obtain the necessary permits.
