(A) All existing tidal flood barrier or rip-rap and newly erected or repaired tidal flood barriers or rip-rap shall be backfilled with clean fill material. The fill material shall be backfilled to the finished elevation of the seawall cap, or to the level of the finished floor elevation if the seawall cap exceeds the level of the finished floor elevation. There shall be no depressions, holes, or any other conditions which would allow stagnant water to accumulate anywhere landward behind the tidal flood barrier or rip-rap or cause excess or concentrated drainage into the adjoining property.
(B) All tidal flood barriers or rip-raps shall be maintained in such a manner as to prevent the erosion or damage to any adjoining property. All holes, depressions, or other similar conditions occurring on property behind existing tidal flood barrier or rip-rap as a result of settlement, erosion, or any other condition of the soil or tidal flood barrier or rip-rap shall be filled and maintained at the finished elevation of the tidal flood barrier or rip-rap or to the level of the finished floor elevation if the seawall cap exceeds the level of the finished floor elevation.
