(A) New and replacement tanks in flood hazard areas either shall be elevated above the base flood elevation on a supporting structure designed to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement during conditions of the base flood, or be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement resulting from hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy assuming the tank is empty, during conditions of the design flood.
(B) New and replacement tank inlets, fill openings, outlets, and vents shall be placed a minimum of two feet above base flood elevation or fitted with covers designed to prevent the inflow of flood water or outflow of the contents of the tank during conditions of the design flood.
