Appendix 401. Introduction.

These regulations are taken directly from the Illinois State Model Floodplain Ordinance (IDNR/OWR, operating in 2006), sections 6 through 10. Those who are familiar with this model ordinance will have little difficulty in navigating the section numbers for citation, though should note some qualifications for section 6. The standard definitions of Section 2 of the model ordinance are incorporated in Section 50-248 of the Surface Water Management Ordinance. Similarly, that ordinance also contains the policy statements, administrative assignments, and legal framework that are partially unique to each jurisdiction, while maintaining the required minimum standards of 44 CFR 60.3(d).
