§ 62-3725. Prohibitions.

(1)

New dikes, levees or other structures shall not be permitted below the riverine 100-year flood elevation except for structures that have a maximum height of less than the ten-year flood elevation and which will not restrict the flow of the riverine 100-year storm floodwaters. The only potential exceptions to this provision are structures which are shown to have overriding public benefit. Replacement or repair of non-breached dikes is permitted as long as such replacement or repair does not change the status of the floodplain or will maintain the existing ability to utilize the property.

(2)

The following specific uses are not compatible within the floodplain and shall not be permitted:

(a)

Placing, depositing or dumping of solid wastes, including sludge, septage, unprocessed scallop shells and viscera, except for land-spreading for agricultural pursuits or for treated municipal solid sludge; and

(b)

Commercial processing, storing and disposal of hazardous materials.
