| (a) RFPGs shall recommend FMPs and FMSs to reduce the
potential impacts of flood based on the evaluations under §361.38
of this title (related to Identification and Assessment of Potential
Flood Management Evaluations and Potentially Feasible Flood Management
Strategies and Projects) and RFPG goals and that must, at a minimum,
mitigate for flood events associated with a 1% annual chance (100-yr
flood), where feasible. In instances where mitigating for 100-year
events are not feasible, FMPs and FMSs to mitigate more frequent events
may be recommended based on guidance to be provided by the EA. Recommendations
shall be based upon the identification, analysis, and comparison of
alternatives that the RFPG determines will provide measurable reductions
in flood impacts in support of the RFPG's specific flood mitigation
and/or floodplain management goals.
(b) RFPGs shall provide additional information in conformance
with guidance provided by the EA which may be used to rank recommended
FMEs, FMPs, and FMSs with non-recurring, non-capital costs in the
state flood plan.
(c) RFPGs shall provide the benefit-cost ratio for
recommended FMPs in accordance with guidance provided by the EA.
(d) RFPGs shall recommend FMEs that the RFPG determines
are most likely to result in identification of potentially feasible
FMPs and FMSs that would, at a minimum, identify and investigate one
solution to mitigate for flood events associated with a 1% annual
chance flood event and that support specific RFPG flood mitigation
and/or floodplain management goals.
(e) Recommended FMSs or FMPs may not negatively affect
a neighboring area or an entity's water supply.
(f) Recommended FMSs or FMPs that will contribute to
water supply may not result in an overallocation of a water source
based on the water availability allocations in the most recently adopted
State Water Plan.
(g) Specific types of FMEs, FMPs, or FMSs that should
be included and that should not be included in RFPs must be in accordance
with guidance provided by the EA.
