In all special flood hazard areas the following provisions are required:
(A) New construction and substantial improvements shall be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy;
(B) Manufactured homes shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This standard shall be in addition to and consistent with applicable state requirements for resisting wind forces;
(C) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage;
(D) New construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage;
(E) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air condition equipment, and other service facilities shall be designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding; and if
(F) Within zones AH or AO, so that there are adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures;
(G) New and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system;
(H) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters;
(I) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located and constructed to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding; and
(J) Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improvements to a structure which is not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall meet the requirements of new construction as contained in this chapter;
(K) Any alteration, repair, reconstruction, or improvements to a structure which is not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, shall be undertaken only if the non-conformity is not furthered, extended or replaced.
