Purpose and findings.

The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by encroachments.
(b)
In order to protect the public interest, the following principles and goals have been determined:
(1)
The overall goal is prudent land use within the physical and environmental constraints of the site.
(2)
The principle of equal and uniform treatment shall apply to all flood plain users who are similarly situated.
(5)
Future land uses in private flood plains shall not result in public expense to protect the property and associated public services from flood damage.
(6)
All future public and private flood plain users shall bear the full direct and indirect costs attributable to their use and actions.
(8)
Land and water use regulations of responsible units of government shall not impair or conflict with the flood plain use standards duly adopted for the basin, except as provided for in § 415.42(a) of this part.
