   A.   Any fill proposed to be deposited in the floodway fringe area must be shown to have some beneficial purpose, and the amount thereof shall not be greater than is needed to achieve that purpose, as demonstrated by a plan submitted by the owner showing the uses to which the filled land will be put and the final dimensions of the proposed fill or other materials.
   B.   Such fill or other materials shall be protected against erosion by a method approved by the district including riprap, vegetative cover, bulk-heading, or other approved methods, unless a study, prepared by an Arizona registered civil engineer, demonstrates that erosion protection is not required.
   C.   If the permittee proposes to remove a structure or a portion of the property from a FEMA floodplain through the LOMR-F process, the permittee shall provide evidence the fill was adequately compacted by submitting the results of compaction testing certified by an Arizona registered engineer.
