Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Biological Opinion (BiOp) Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures (PICM)
In July 2024, FEMA notified National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities that interim compliance with the Oregon BiOp and Endangered Species Act (ESA) would be required by December 1, 2024. Since Lane County received that notice, staff have been reviewing the options for compliance, called Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures or PICMs.
Staff held a work session with the Board of County Commissioners on October 9, 2024 (the Staff Agenda Cover Memo for the work session can be accessed here). A second work session was held with the Board on November 5, 2024, and staff plans to return for an executive session and a third work session with the Board on November 12, 2024.
