(B) Public transportation facilities. Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges to be located within the flood plain shall comply with §§ 154.004 and 154.005 of this chapter. Elevation to the regulatory flood protection elevation shall be provided where failure or interruption of these transportation facilities would result in danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are essential to the orderly functioning of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or railroads may be constructed at a lower elevation where failure or interruption of transportation services would not endanger the public health or safety.
(C) On-site sewage treatment and water supply systems. Where public utilities are not provided:
(1) On-site water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems; and
(2) New or replacement on-site sewage treatment systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters and they shall not be subject to impairment or contamination during times of flooding.
