FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY FEDERAL INSURANCE ADMINISTRATION Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations for Various Communities in Moore County, North Carolina AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed modified base (1% annual chance) flood elevations shown in the preliminary Flood Insurance Studies and Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the communities listed in the table below. The base flood elevations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that each community is required to either adopt or show evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). DATES: The period for comment will be ninety (90) days following the second publication of these proposed rules in a newspaper of local circulation. Lessees and owners of real property in the following communities are encouraged to review the preliminary Flood Insurance Studies and Flood Insurance Rate Maps and to submit comments to the appropriate community representatives as listed below. Proposed base flood elevations along flood sources studied in detail are shown on the flood profiles in the study. The proposed modified base flood elevations are as follows: Source of Flooding and ?Elevation in Location of Referenced feet (NAVD) Elevation Existing / Modified Communities Affected Bear Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep River None *320 Approximately 100 feet downstream of Adams Road None *461 Beaver Creek (into Crane Creek) Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Crane Creek None *234 At the Moore/Lee County boundary None *307 Big Governors Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep Creek None *258 At the confluence with Big Governors Creek Tributary None *304 Big Governors Creek Tributary Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Big Governors Creek None *304 Approximately 0.6 mile upstream of Torchwood Road None *326 Big Juniper Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with McLendons Creek None *320 Approximately 1,200 feet upstream of Longleaf Lake Dam None *555 Board Branch Moore County (Unincorporated Areas), Village of Pinehurst At the confluence with Joe’s Fork None *368 Approximately 1,300 feet upstream of Yadkin Road (State Route 211) None *456 Buffalo Creek (Hoke) Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Little River None *186 At the Moore/Harnett County boundary None *218 Buffalo Creek (Moore) Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep River None *288 Approximately 3.8 miles upstream of State Highway 24 None *502 Buffalo Creek Tributary 1 Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Buffalo Creek (Hoke) None *194 Approximately 1,400 feet upstream of Marks Road None *337 Cabin Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas), Town of Robbins Approximately 200 feet upstream of the confluence with Bear Creek None *361 At the Moore/Montgomery County boundary None *487 Carrols Branch Moore County (Unincorporated Areas), Town of Southern Pines At the confluence with James Creek None *252 Approximately 4.3 miles upstream of Youngs Road None *365 Cotton Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Cabin Creek None *449 At the Moore/Montgomery County boundary None *482 Crane Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas), Town of Carthage* At the confluence with Little River *203 *194 Approximately 500 feet upstream of State Highway 24 None *369 Crawley Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Big Governors Creek *203 *194 Approximately 800 feet upstream of Old River Road None *318 Crawley Creek Tributary 1 Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Crawley Creek None *289 Approximately 0.7 mile upstream of the confluence with Crawley Creek None *298 Crawley Creek Tributary 2 Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Crawley Creek None *289 Approximately 1.0 mile upstream of the confluence with Crawley Creek None *307 Cypress Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) Just upstream of Loblolly Drive None *228 At the Moore/Harnett County boundary None *228 Deep River Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the Moore/Chatham County boundary None *252 At the Moore/Randolph County boundary None *352 Deep River Tributary 4 Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep River None *265 Approximately 1.0 mile upstream of the confluence with Deep River None *267 Deep River Tributary 5 Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep River None *265 Approximately 0.5 mile upstream of Rascob Road None *265 Dry Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Cabin Creek None *369 Approximately 5.1 miles upstream of State Highway 24 None *533 Dunham Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Crane Creek None *327 Approximately 0.9 mile upstream of Farm Life School Road None *354 Glade Branch Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with McLendons Creek None *263 Approximately 0.8 mile upstream of Kelly Plantation Road None *274 Grassy Creek Moore County (Unincorporated Areas) At the confluence with Deep River None *335 Approximately 400 feet upstream of L.
