What qualifies a landform for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) due to inadvertent inclusions in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)?

Artificial landscaping changes
A natural rise in land documented after flooding
A man-made barrier constructed to prevent flooding
Natural occurrence of land elevation

The correct answer is: Natural occurrence of land elevation

A is incorrect because artificial landscaping changes are not considered in determining a LOMA. B is incorrect because a natural rise in land can occur after flooding but it does not necessarily qualify for a LOMA. C is incorrect because a man-made barrier does not necessarily guarantee that the land is no longer in a SFHA. D, the correct answer, is the only option that directly addresses the criteria for a LOMA, which is based on the natural occurrence of land elevation.
