Accepted engineering principles and techniques shall govern the transfer of profile elevation for use in delineation of the floodplain limits on the official floodplain zoning maps. If a conflict exists between the floodplain limits illustrated on the maps and the actual field conditions, the elevations from the water surface profile shall be the governing factor in locating the official floodplain limits.
