In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions to:
(A) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion, flood heights or velocities;
(B) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(C) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
(D) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage; and
(E) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
