All structures and other developments, including stream crossings, shall be firmly anchored in accordance with accepted engineering practices to prevent flotation, collapse, and lateral movement, thus reducing the threat to life and property and decreasing the possibility of the blockage of bridge openings and other restricted sections of the watercourse. All air ducts, large pipes, and storage tanks located at or below the base flood elevation shall be firmly anchored to resist flotation.
