PPRN/PSS: Flood Risk Zoning for the Municipality of Gripport (54238)

Gripport, a municipality in France, is covered by this dataset describing regulatory flood zones. The data originates from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on April 5, 2019. It represents a Submersible Surface Plan (PSS), a legal document mapping flood hazards and land-use restrictions under French environmental law.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood hazard zones based on the described 'average' flood level for the PSS.
• Identifying land-use restrictions based on the described regulatory zoning categories (e.g., 'red areas' where construction is prohibited).
• Analyzing the legal transition from PSS to PPR (Risk Prevention Plan) status as described in the French Environmental Code.
• Supporting administrative decisions on construction permits based on the described utility easement and declaration requirements.

Strengths

• Legal status is defined by specific French laws and decrees, including the Decree-Law of 30 October 1935 and the Barnier Law of 2 February 1995.
• Regulatory zoning categories are explicitly described, distinguishing between 'red', 'blue', and other zones based on hazard level.
