No-Rise Certificates in Pennsylvania — Quick Answer

A no-rise certificate is an engineered certification prepared by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) demonstrating that a proposed development within a regulatory floodway will not cause any increase in base flood elevations during the 1% annual chance flood. No-rise certifications require hydraulic analysis and a PE stamp. They are required by local floodplain administrators before development in a FEMA-regulated floodway can be permitted.
