      s 119. Dams and Related Structures.

      (a) Dams and structures that act as dams constructed in the channels of 
      intermittent streams must meet the following criteria:

      (1) A study shall be submitted to the board confirming that the 
      installation of a dam will not increase flooding outside of the floodway 
      or increase flood damages to third parties in the floodway.

      (2) Erosion control may be required on the bank or levee slopes upstream 
      and downstream of the proposed dam.

      (3) Earthfill, including sand, and rockfill dams must be completely 
      removed from the floodway prior to the beginning of flood season each year 
      and may not be reinstalled prior to the end of flood season. (See Table 
      8.1.)

      (4) All stanchions must be removed or lowered, and all flashboards and 
      slide gates of a dam must be removed from the floodway prior to the 
      beginning of flood season each year and may not be reinstalled prior to 
      the end of flood season. (See Table 8.1.)

      (5) The permittee must remove or lower all stanchions and must remove the 
      flashboards and slide gates of a dam within twenty-four (24) hours after 
      receiving written notification from the board.

      (6) The permittee must remove an earthfill or rockfill dam within 
      ninety-six (96) hours after receiving written notification from the board.

      (7) Upon removal of an earthfill or rockfill dam, the material from the 
      dam may not be stockpiled on the levee section or within the floodway.

      (8) The permittee must provide warning signs upstream and downstream of a 
      rockfill dam to protect boaters.

      (b) Crop checks, ditch banks, ditch pads, road fills, and secondary levees 
      installed within floodways and bypasses may not be reinforced or revetted 
      and must be limited to a height that will not impair the floodway 
      capacity. Crop checks, ditch banks and ditch pads are limited to a height 
      of three (3) feet above the adjacent natural ground.
