				state law, including but not limited to Section 404 of the Federal Water
				Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,
				33 U.S.C.
				§1344;

				Program at the Department of Agriculture, Agriculture, Conservation and

				and submit copies of such notifications to the Federal Emergency Management
				Agency;
4. Maintain as a permanent
				record, copies of all flood hazard development permit applications,
				corresponding permits issued and all data relevant thereto; and
5. Require an emergency action plan to remove
				any equipment or materials from the site before a potential flooding
				event.
