Section 19:3-2.2 - Required land use and control measures

(a) The NJMC shall review all permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood hazard, any proposed new construction or substantial improvement, including prefabricated and mobile homes, shall:

1. Be designed, or modified, and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure;

2. Use construction material and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage; and

3. Use construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.

(b) The NJMC shall review all subdivision proposals and other proposed new development to assure that:

1. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;

2. All public utilities and facilities, such as sanitary and storm sewers, gas, electrical, and water systems are located, elevated, and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and

3. Adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards.

(c) New or replacement water supply systems and/or sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from the systems into flood waters. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
