(a) This subchapter shall be known, and may be referred to as, the Floodplain Management Regulations of the Hackensack Meadowlands District.(b) The flood hazard areas of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority are subject to periodic inundation, which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazard, which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, causes damage in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss.N.J. Admin. Code § 19:4-9.1
