(a) There shall be no stockpiling within the floodway of materials or tailings that may obstruct, divert or retard the flow of floodwaters, except as may be approved by the city engineer pursuant to an application for a floodplain use permit.
(b) The storage or processing of materials that are in time of flooding buoyant, flammable, explosive, or that could be injurious to human, animal or plant life is prohibited. Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if it is not subject to major damage by floods, and is firmly anchored to prevent flotation, or is readily removable from the area within the very short time available after a flood warning.
