<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> will be commensurate with the increased risk <br /> resulting from the reduced lowest floor <br /> elevation. <br /> <br /> ARTICLE 5. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION. <br /> <br /> Section A. General Standards. <br /> <br /> In all areas of special flood hazards the following <br /> provisions are required: <br /> (1) All new constrizction and substantial improvements <br /> shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse <br /> or lateral movement of the structure; <br /> <br /> (2) Al1 new construction or substantial improvements <br /> shall be constructed by methods and practices that <br /> minimize flood damage; <br /> (3) Al1 new construction or substantial improvements <br /> shall be constructed with materials and utility <br /> equipment resistant to flood damage; <br /> (4) All new and replacement water supply systems shall <br /> be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration <br /> of flood waters into the system; <br /> <br /> (5) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall <br /> be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration <br /> of flood waters into the system and discharges <br /> from the systems into flood waters; and, <br /> (6) On site waste disposal systems shall be located to <br /> avoid impairment to them or contamination from <br /> them during flooding. <br /> <br /> Section B. Specific Standards. <br /> In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood <br /> elevation data has been provided as set forth in (i) <br /> Article 3, Section B, (ii) Article 4, Section B, (7), or <br /> (iii) Article 5, Section D, (3) the following provisions are <br /> required: <br /> (1) Residential Construction - New Construction or <br /> substantial improvement of any residential struc- <br /> ture shall have the lowest floor, including <br /> basement, elevated to or above the base flood <br /> Plevation. A registered professional engineer, <br /> architect, or land surveyor shall submit a certi- <br /> fication to the Administrator that the standard of <br /> this subsection, as proposed in Article 4, Section <br /> C (1) (a), is satisfied. <br /> (2) Non-residential Construction - New Construction or <br /> substantial improvement of any commercial, indus- <br /> trial or other non-residential structure shall <br /> either have the lowest floor, including basement, <br /> elevated to the level of the base flood elevation <br /> or, together with attendant utility ard sanitary <br /> tacilities, be .floodproofed so that below the base <br /> flood level the structure is water tight with <br /> walls substantially impermeable to the passage of <br /> water and with structural components having the <br /> capability of resisting hydrostatic and <br /> hydrodynaMic loads and effects of buoyancy. A <br /> registered professional engineer or architect <br /> shall submit a certification to the Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> -9- <br />
