      s 127. Boating Facilities.

      (a) The standards for construction of wharves, piers, docks, boat houses, 
      ramps, and similar boating facilities, are as follows:

      (1) Boat ramps may not be cut into the levee section, but may be cut into 
      a berm or placed on a fill.

      (2) Boating facilities must be properly anchored to prevent breakaway 
      during floodflows. Acceptable anchoring methods are as follows:

      (A) Driven piling must meet the following criteria:

      (i) Timber piles must be a minimum of twelve (12) inches in diameter and 
      must be pressure treated.

      (ii) The elevation of the top of each pile must be a minimum of two (2) 
      feet above the design flood plane.

      (B) Concrete deadmen must meet the following criteria:

      (i) The concrete deadman must be of sufficient size to restrain the 
      boating facility and be a minimum of one (1) cubic yard of concrete.

      (ii) The concrete deadman must be attached to the floating facility with a 
      steel cable, or equivalent, of sufficient size to restrain the facility.

      (3) All appurtenant facilities, including utilities and walkways, 
      installed on or through a levee section to provide service to wharves, 
      piers, or docks, must conform to the appropriate section of the standards.

      (b) After each period of high water, all debris caught by a boating 
      facility must be cleared and disposed of outside the limits of the 
      floodway and levee section.

      (c) In the event that levee or bank erosion injurious to the adopted plan 
      of flood control occurs at or adjacent to a boating facility, the 
      permittee of the boating facility is responsible for the repair of the 
      eroded area, and for the placement of adequate revetment to prevent 
      further erosion.

      (d) Any existing levee revetment or bank revetment damaged during the 
      construction or operation of a boating facility must be restored to its 
      original condition by the permittee of the boating facility.

      (e) The levee crown may not be used for parking boat trailers or motor 
      vehicles except where there is adequate crown roadway width to provide 
      twenty (20) feet of unobstructed clearance for two-way vehicular traffic.

      (f) Boating materials, equipment or accessories may not be stored on levee 
      slopes.

      (g) Floatable boating materials, equipment, or accessories must be 
      securely anchored when stored in the floodway during the flood season.

      (h) Boating materials, equipment, or accessories may be stored on the 
      levee crown if storage does not prevent adequate inspection and 
      maintenance of the levee, does not obstruct flood fight procedures, and 
      the following additional requirements are met:

      (1) There is adequate levee crown roadway width to provide a minimum of 
      twenty (20) feet of unobstructed clearance for two- way vehicular traffic.

      (2) Where a public road or highway is on the levee crown, the design width 
      of the roadway, including the roadway shoulders, must remain clear.

      (3) Boating materials, equipment, or accessories may not be stored within 
      fourteen (14) feet of the landward levee shoulder.

      (4) Boating materials, equipment or accessories may be stored to within 
      fourteen (14) feet of the waterward leve e shoulder provided the waterward 
      levee slope is revetted to the standards in section 121.

      (5) Boating materials, equipment, or accessories may not be stored within 
      thirty (30) feet of the waterward levee shoulder of a levee having an 
      unrevetted waterward slope.
