(A) The 1945 Flood Control Act (I.C. 14-28-1) of the State of Indiana prohibits the construction of abodes or residences in or on a floodway. Prior approval of Department of Natural Resources is required for any type of construction, excavation, or filling in or on a floodway. All projects must also comply with the requirements of the Town of Monrovia flood ordinances, when adopted.
(B) All applications made to and granted approval by the Department of Natural Resources or US Army Corps of Engineers, do not in any way relieve the owner of the necessity of securing easements or other property rights, permits or approvals from affected property owners and local, state, and federal agencies.
