   Quebec, Canada, was held fixed as the constraint, enabling NAVD 88 and the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 to be one and the same. Now, other tide stations may have elevations other than zero. Since the establishment of NAVD 88, the preference has been for new flood hazard studies to be referenced to NAVD 88. 1.3.

   In the first example, the countywide conversion factor is -0.609. The elevation in NAVD 88 would be: 54.2 + -0.609 = 53.591 or 53.6 ft. Remember, if you add a negative number to the existing elevation, the resulting elevation will be a lower number. In the second example, the conversion factor for Arroyo Seco is 2.99.

   How do you convert NAVD 88 to NGVD 29?

   • The simplest method is to use the offset used by FEMA. In the eastern United States, the conversion factor is generally a single value for the whole community/county. NAVD 88 is lower than NGVD 29 in the east, so the conversion factor will be a negative number. The elevation converted to NAVD 88 will be a lower number than the elevation in NGVD 29.

   What is the average conversion to NAVD 88?

   • An average conversion of 0.1 foot or less could be deceiving in areas that contain conversions to NAVD 88 that show large plus and minus variances. To illustrate this point, Table 2 shows a hypothetical datum conversion analysis where the average conversion to NAVD 88 was calculated as -0.09 foot.
