<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />F. Promote wise floodplain development and support effective structural and non-structural flood <br />mitigation projects. <br />G. Conduct floodplain studies in areas of foreseeable development that do not currently have <br />detailed floodplain studies. <br />H. Maintain an electronic or paper library of local flood related data. <br />1. Develop a flood risk outreach program and notify flood prone residents annually of flood <br />hazards and the need for flood insurance. <br />J. Encourage elevation of floodprone structures and floodproofing of structures in the floodplains. <br />K. Utilize available state/federal mitigation and preparedness funds. <br />L. Require certified floodplain managers to review proposed land developments. <br />M. Advise the public at large that flooding does occur above and beyond the 100-year flood. <br />Communities would be wise to consider using the 500-year floodplain for regulating critical <br />facilities such as fire stations, hospitals, police stations, nursing homes, electrical power <br />stations, water supply treatment plants, and other important facilities. Floods greater than 500- <br />year floods do occur, and loss oflife and property is possible in areas mapped outside of both <br />the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Communities are encouraged to identify areas prone to <br />flooding outside ofthe 500-year floodplain where loss of life or substantial property damage <br />may occur. <br />" N. Utilize "the concept of "No Adverse Impact" floodplain management where the action of one <br />property owner does not adversely impact the rights of other property owners, as measured by <br />increased flood peaks, flood stage, flood velocity, and erosion and sedimentation. No Adverse <br />Impact could be extended to entire watersheds as a means to promote the use of <br />retention/detention or other techniques to mitigate increased runoff from urban areas. <br />O. Prohibit the construction of new levees that are intended to remove land from a regulatory <br />floodplain for the purpose of allowing new development activity to take place in areas that are <br />otherwise flood prone. . <br />P. Maintain a flood hazard page on the community website with links to the CWCB, FEMA Flood <br />Map Store, National Flood Insurance Program, National Weather Service, local building codes, <br />and local permitting information. <br /> <br />Rule 18.
