. e -10- that the structure will be pennitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the required elevation of t~ feet above the base flood elevation, and that the cost of flood insurance will be can- mensurate wi th the increased risk resulting fran the reduced lowest floor elevation. ARTICLE 5. PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION SECTION A. General Standards In all areas of special flood hazards the following provisions are required: ( 1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent floatation, collapse or lateral Irovement of the structure; (2) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; ( 3) All new construction or substantial improvements shall be constructed with material and utility equipment resistant to flood damage; (4) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; (5) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall te designed to mlnlmlZe or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharges fran the system into flood waters; and ( 6) On site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impaiment to them or contamination fran them during flooding. SECTION B. SPECIFIC STANDARDS In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has teen provided as set forth in (i) Article 3, Section B, (ii) Article 4, Section B, (7), or (iii) Article 5, Section D, (2) the following provisions are required: (1) Residential construction-new construction or substantial improvenent ot any reSldentlal Structure shall have the lowest floor, elevated to a minimum distance of two feet above the base flood elevation. A registered professional engineer, architect, or land surveyor shall submit a certification to the Flood Plain Administrator that the stan- dard of the subsection, as proposed in Article 4, Section C (1)a., is satisfied.

A registered pro- fessional engineer or architect shall subnit a certification to the Flood Plain Administrator that the standards of this subsection as proposed in Article 4, Section C (1) (c), are satisfied.
