   In order to accomplish its purposes, this subchapter includes regulations to:

   (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.
