Emergency repair and replacement of severely damaged public transportation facilities, public water and sewer facilities, and flood control works may be authorized by the floodplain administrator if:
A. Upon notification and prior to the emergency repair and/or replacement, the floodplain administrator determines that an emergency condition exists warranting immediate action; and
B. The floodplain administrator agrees upon the nature and type of proposed emergency repair and/or replacement.
Authorization to undertake emergency repair and replacement work may be given verbally if the floodplain administrator feels that such a written authorization would unduly delay the emergency work. Such verbal authorization must be followed by a written permit describing the emergency condition, the type of emergency work agreed upon, and stating that a verbal authorization had been previously given.
