(A) Floodways located within areas of special flood hazard are extremely hazardous areas due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential. Therefore, the following provisions shall apply:
(A) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway, unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practices that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase greater than 0.00 feet;
(C) Buildings shall not be used for human habitation;
(D) Pipeline crossings through a river or stream shall be buried in the river or stream bed and banks, or otherwise sufficiently protected to prevent rupture due to channel degradation, meandering, or the action of flood flows;
(E) Storage of material, equipment, or debris is prohibited; and
(F) A floodway encroachment that increases the level of the base flood may be authorized under the provisions of 44 C.F.R. Chapter 1, § 65.12, of the National Flood Insurance Regulations, if the applicant has received a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
