35.20.210 Application requirements.
(1) Applications for flood control structures shall provide all of the information required in CCC 35.50.150 plus any additional information that may be required pursuant to the critical areas regulations in Chapter 35.35 CCC.
(2) To determine that the provisions of this section are fully addressed, the Administrator may require one or more technical studies/reports at the time of permit application for flood control structures unless the Administrator determines that issues are adequately addressed via another regulatory review process. Technical reports required pursuant to this section may include any of the following:
(a) An analysis of the flood frequency, duration and severity and expected health and safety risks as a rationale and justification for the proposed structure.
(b) A hydraulic analysis prepared by a licensed professional engineer that describes anticipated effects of the project on stream hydraulics, including potential increases in base flood elevation, changes in stream velocity, and the potential for redirection of the normal flow of the affected stream.
(c) A biological resource inventory and analysis prepared by a qualified professional biologist that describes the anticipated effects of the project on fish and wildlife resources, include species and habitats protected by the federal Endangered Species Act.
(d) Proposed provisions for accommodating public access to and along the affected shoreline, as well as any proposed on-site recreational features.
(e) A description of proposed plans to remove vegetation and revegetate the site following construction.
(3) To ensure compliance with the no net loss provisions of this Program, the Administrator shall require the proponent to prepare a mitigation plan consistent with CCC 35.40.030 that describes measures for protecting shoreline and in-stream resources during construction and operation of a flood control structure. The required mitigation shall be commensurate with the value and type of resource or system lost. Mitigation activities shall be monitored by the proponent to determine the effectiveness of the mitigation plan. In instances where the existing mitigation measures are found to be ineffective, the proponent shall take corrective action that satisfies the objectives of the mitigation plan.
