  • Details the Flood Hazard Maps applicable to Middletown
  • Prescribes engineering and construction standards for applicable projects
  • Lists inspection and permitting requirements and procedures

Base Flood Elevation (BFE) information by address can be found here https://middletowntownshipnj.withforerunner.com/ or on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center
