The only way to remove an area from the floodplain is to raise the level above the base flood elevation similar to what @Dave Dagostino was referring to (don't even think about adding fill to the yard, that requires a 404 permit and impacts the flood plain by creating a dam impacting your neighbors).

Thera are dams on rivers, windmill farms, solar farms and maybe politicians don't realize that this can be taxed more.

There are some dam fine turnkey operators on this site, but they don't use the snake oil pitch, they are honest and deliver exactly what they promise. 

My builder got stymied for a week with an eager beaver inspector...

I see two large dams and ponds.

, dam computers!

Luckly the roof was replaced last year (although there are some pretty nasty ice dams from recent storms).Would love to hear your advice!

The dam is about to break towards lower prices.2.

What I have since learned is how this set up works to prevent ice damming, and has some sort of ventilation built into the bottom of the roof.                                                       

Unfortunately, when the music stopped this time, it came to a screeching halt.We spent so much of our time in 2007 - 2009 plugging the leaks in our proverbial dam.
