FEMA Zone X - Shaded or Unshaded?

How much fill did they add?

Is there a regulatory authority who is concerned?

Who submitted the LOMR-F? What does the LOMC read?

I believe it will read Zone X (shaded) on the loma if that 500 year flood zone applies

Excellent question, JIm. Hope someone knows the authoritative answer and can cite the exact source in the policy.

Here is a recent one that has shaded zone x nearby and specifies unshaded

Whatever your local FEMA Floodplain Administrator says.
