Accredited Levee
Accredited Levee : A levee that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has shown on a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) as providing protection from the 1-percent-annual-chance or greater flood. This determination is based on the submittal of data and documentation as required by 44 CFR Section 65.10 of the NFIP regulations. The area landward of an accredited levee is shown as Zone X (shaded) on the FIRM or DFIRM except for areas of residual flooding, such as ponding areas, which will be shown as Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
