SECTION C – BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY REQUIRED) (Continued)
<br />SECTION D – SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, OR ARCHITECT CERTIFICATION
<br />SECTION E – BUILDING MEASUREMENT INFORMATION (SURVEY NOT REQUIRED)
<br />FOR ZONE AO, ZONE AR/AO, AND ZONE A (WITHOUT BFE)
<br />Item C2.f. Enter the finished Lowest Adjacent Grade (LAG) elevation of the ground, sidewalk, or patio slab next to and in direct contact
<br />with the building. For a building in Zone AO, use the natural grade elevation, if available. Indicate whether the natural or finished grade was
<br />used. If natural grade was used, attach the source of the information (e.g., a grading plan). For buildings under construction in any flood
<br />zone, enter the LAG elevation at the time of the survey. Note: Natural grade means the undisturbed natural surface of the ground prior to
<br />any excavation or fill.
<br />Item C2.g. Enter the finished Highest Adjacent Grade (HAG) elevation of the ground, sidewalk, or patio slab next to and in direct contact
<br />with the building. For a building in Zone AO, use the natural grade elevation if available. Indicate whether the natural or finished grade was
<br />used. If natural grade was used, attach the source of the information (e.g., a grading plan). For buildings under construction in any flood
<br />zone, enter the HAG elevation at the time of the survey.
<br />Item C2.h. Enter the finished LAG elevation of the lowest ground, sidewalk, or patio slab next to and in direct contact with the structurally-
<br />attached-deck supports or stairs structurally attached to the building. For buildings under construction in any flood zone, enter the lowest
<br />LAG at the time of the survey.
<br />This section of the Elevation Certificate may be signed by only a land surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by state law to
<br />certify elevation information. Complete as indicated and place your license number, your seal (as allowed by the state licensing board),
<br />your signature, and the date in Section D. You are certifying that the information on this certificate represents your best efforts to interpret
<br />the data available and that you understand that any false statement may be punishable by fine or imprisonment under 18 U.S. Code,
<br />Section 1001. Use the Comments area of Section D to provide relevant and clarifying information not specified elsewhere on the
<br />certificate, including supporting information for latitude/longitude source for A5; openings for A8/A9; LOMR data for Section B; BFE and
<br />BFE source data for B9/B10; datum conversion for C2; grading plan for natural grade used in C2.f-g; machinery type and location for C2.e;
<br />and any other relevant information identified in the instructions or needed for clarification. If attachments are included, check the
<br />attachments box and describe the attachments in the Comments area.
<br />Complete Section E if the building is located in Zone AO, Zone AR/AO, or Zone A (without BFE) and the Certificate is being completed for
<br />the purpose of documenting compliance with local floodplain management requirements. If the Certificate is being completed to document
<br />compliance in other flood zones, including Zone A (with BFE), to support a LOMA, CLOMA, LOMR-F, or CLOMR-F request, or to provide a
<br />ground elevation for flood insurance rating, complete Section C instead of Section E. Explain in the Section F Comments area if the
<br />measurement provided under Items E1–E4 is not based on the "natural grade." Natural grade means the undisturbed natural surface of
<br />the ground prior to any excavation or fill.
<br />Indicate whether the measurements to be entered in this section are based on construction drawings, a building under construction, or
<br />finished construction. For either of the first two choices, a post-construction Elevation Certificate will be required when construction is
<br />complete. If the building is under construction, include only those measurements that can be determined in Items E1–E4. Use the
<br />Comments area of Section F to provide measurements obtained from the construction plans or drawings. Select "Finished Construction"
<br />only when all Machinery and Equipment (M&E) such as furnaces, water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners, and elevators and their
<br />associated equipment have been installed and the grading around the building is completed.
<br />Note: Enter heights in Items E1–E4 to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico).
<br />Items E1.a and b. Enter in Item E1.a the height of the top of the bottom floor (as indicated by C2.a in the selected Building Diagram, Item
<br />A7) above or below the natural HAG. Enter in Item E1.b the height of the top of the bottom floor (as indicated by C2.a in the selected
<br />Building Diagram, Item A7) above or below the natural LAG. For buildings in Zone AO, the community's floodplain management ordinance
<br />requires the lowest floor of the building be elevated above the HAG at least as high as the base flood depth on the FIRM.
