In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter uses the following methods:
(A) Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flood, or cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
(B) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities that serve those 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 are involved in the accommodation of floodwaters;
(D) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development that may increase flood damage; and
(E) Prevent or regulate the constructiuon of flood barriers that will unnaturally divert floodwaters, or that may increase flood hazards to other lands.
