Definitions
.
(1) As used in Sections 25-68h-1,
			 25-68h-2
			 and
			 25-68h-3:
"Hurricane wave wash" means the effect of wave action in a
				coastal flood hazard zone.
"Significant impact" means any activity that would
				create:
(A) A five percent increase in
			 peak flow rates at any downstream point;
(B) A twenty percent increase in flow
			 velocities or a change that allows a stable condition to become
			 unstable;
(C) An activity that
			 contributes to an unacceptable cumulative impact;
(D) Any activity that causes flooding on
			 developed property not currently subject to flooding;
(E) An activity that could cause a downstream
			 dam to become unsafe. "Velocity waters" means the effect of moving water in a
			 coastal flood hazard zone.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 25 - Water Resources, Flood and Erosion Control › 68h - Flood Management Regulations for State Agencies › Section 25-68h-2 - Floodplain management standards

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) All state
			 activities shall conform to the Federal Emergency Management Agency National
			 Flood Insurance Program requirements, specifically Part 60 -Criteria For Land
			 Management and Use, Subpart A Sections 60.3, 60.4 and 60.5.
(b) The following restrictions shall pertain
			 to all new and substantially improved structures located within the floodplain.
(1) Structures shall not be designed for
			 human habitation unless elevated with the lowest floor one foot above the level
			 of the base flood.
(2) Structures
			 and all stored materials which may result in damage to other structures,
			 restriction of bridge openings or other narrow sections of the stream or river
			 shall be anchored or restrained to prevent them from floating away.
(3) Service facilities such as electrical and
			 heating equipment shall be constructed at or above the elevation of the base
			 flood or floodproofed with a passive system.
(4) Structures located within a "coastal high
			 hazard area" as defined in 44 CFR Part 59 shall be elevated on adequately
			 anchored pilings or columns and securely anchored to such piles or columns such
			 that the lowest portion of the structural members of the lowest floor
			 (excluding the pilings or columns) is elevated to one foot above the base flood
			 and certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the
			 structure is securely anchored to piling or columns in order to withstand
			 velocity waters and hurricane wave wash.
(5) No new structures shall be permitted on
			 undeveloped coastal barrier beaches as designated by the Federal Emergency
			 Management Agency (FEMA).
(6) All
			 water supply equipment shall be designed to prevent flood waters from entering
			 and contaminating the system.
(7)
			 All sanitary sewer collection systems located in the floodplain must have
			 watertight manhole covers and if equipped with vents, shall extend above the
			 elevation of the base flood.

Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
On-site
			 stormwater management
.
(1) The
			 stormwater management plans for state activities shall be prepared so as to
			 minimize any adverse increases to the peak flow rate, the timing of runoff and
			 the volume of runoff. Hydrology studies shall be conducted at a level of detail
			 commensurate with the probable impact of the project.
(A) A complete runoff hydrograph evaluation
			 is required for (i) Basin Stormwater Management Plans pursuant to Section
			 25-68h-3(h),
			 (ii) Stormwater management plans for project sites resulting in significant
			 impacts, and (iii) other state activities and critical activities as determined
			 by the Commissioner. Hydrograph evaluations shall be conducted for existing and
			 anticipated land use conditions for storms with average return frequencies of
			 2, 10 and 100 years. Where appropriate, the hydrograph analysis shall include
			 determination of runoff for each subwatershed and routing runoff through
			 storage impoundments and floodplain storage areas. The timing sequence of the
			 runoff must be fully developed.
(B)
			 Where suitable records exist, hydrographs should be developed from historic
			 gauged flood data. For other watercourses, the hydrographs shall be developed
			 from deterministic rainfall-runoff techniques and compared with flood flows of
			 similar gauged watersheds and an assessment made as to the need to calibrate
			 the hydrograph based on this comparison.

			 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. A well that is constructed
			 pursuant to this special exception shall not be converted to a public well
			 unless such well was constructed by a registered well driller contractor, has a
