What does an Accredited Levee signify?

A levee under construction for future flood protection.
A levee recognized by FEMA for adequate base flood protection.
Designated for areas with temporary flood protections.
Used for designating shallow flooding SFHAs.

The correct answer is: A levee recognized by FEMA for adequate base flood protection.

An accredited levee signifies that it has been recognized by FEMA to provide adequate base flood protection. This means that the levee has met certain engineering and construction standards to reduce the risk of flooding in the area it protects. Option A is incorrect because an accredited levee has already been built and recognized, not under construction for future protection. Option C is incorrect because a designated levee is not necessarily temporary and does not indicate that it has received recognition from FEMA. Option D is incorrect because shallow flooding SFHAs (Special Flood Hazard Areas) are areas with a low risk of flooding and would not require a levee for protection.
