The 100-year flood depth shall be referenced to the highest adjacent grade or stream flow line in determining which fill or floodproofing heights to use in applying the provisions of subsection 4-11-6-2B10 and B11 of this Chapter. In the absence of depth or elevation information, a minimum two foot (2') flood depth shall be used.
