Appendix C Terms and Acronyms 100-year flood: See “base flood.” Section 404: (1) Section of the Clean Water Act that establishes a program to regulate the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands.

ASCS: Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, the old name for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Consolidated Farm Service Agency. ASFPM: Association of State Floodplain Managers. Base flood: The flood having a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year, also known as the “100-year” or “1% chance” flood. The base flood is a statistical concept used to ensure that all properties are protected to the same degree against flooding. Basin: See “watershed.” Best management practices: Pollution controls for nonpoint source pollution. The controls can include structural, vegetative, or management systems to prevent water pollution originating from human activity. BFE: Base flood elevation. The elevation of the crest of the base or 100-year flood. BMP: Best management practice. Carrying capacity: The level of use or extent of modification an environmental or human-made system may bear without experiencing unacceptable deterioration or degradation. CDBG: Community Development Block Grant administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and state, county, or municipal housing or community development agencies. Coastal high hazard flooding: A condition of flooding subject to high velocity waters, including, but not limited to, hurricane wave wash or tsunamis. Coastal high hazard flooding is mapped as a velocity zone on a Flood Insurance Rate Map. Coastal flooding without the high velocity hazard is mapped as a Zone A. Coastal barrier: Offshore formations of sand lying generally parallel to mainland coastlines. They may be connected to the mainland or they may be spits or islands. C-1
