      s 134. Supplemental Standards for The Yuba River - Daguerre Point Dam to 
      Confluence with The Feather River.

      These standards are for dwellings and structures within the Yuba River 
      floodway between Daguerre Point Dam and the confluence with the Feather 
      River. These standards supplement and, where in conflict with, supersede 
      the standards in sections 111 through 137.

      (a) The following definition applies to this section:

      (1) Permanent Dwelling - "Permanent Dwelling" means a dwelling that may be 
      occupied throughout the year.

      (b) The lower Yuba River flood channel is divided into Areas A, B, and C, 
      as delineated on Figure 8.11. Area A is the flow area required to carry 
      one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) cubic feet per second (cfs). Area A 
      and Area B combined is the flow area required to carry two hundred 
      thirty-five thousand (235,000) cfs. Area C is the remainder of the 
      floodway within the flood control project levees. A map identifying the 
      exact locations of Areas A, B and C, entitled "1995 Designated Floodway, 
      Yuba River" is incorporated by reference into this regulation. The 
      full-size map is available for inspection at the office of the board in 
      Sacramento.

      (c) Encroachments in Area A must conform to the general standards of this 
      title, except that new dwellings for seasonal occupancy (as defined in 
      section 113) and structures are not permitted.

      (d) Encroachments in Area B must conform to the general standards of this 
      title except that dwellings, structures, and mobile homes may be permitted 
      in substantial areas of shallow flooding (water depth one (1) foot or less 
      in a hundred-year flood) if they satisfy the requirements of subdivision 
      (e) of this section and the requirements of section 113(d).

      (e) Area C is considered a "zone B" as provided in section 113. 
      Encroachments in Area C must conform to the general standards of this 
      division, and in addition, meet the following requirements:

      (1) The design flood plane for construction of permanent dwellings must 
      correspond to the two hundred thirty-five thousand (235,000) cfs flow line 
      or 100-year flood elevation, whichever is higher.

      (2) New permanent dwellings are not permitted in Area C unless a safe 
      evacuation route, satisfactory to the board, is available for the 
      dwelling's residents.

      (3) Roads that would be used to evacuate residents must be constructed to 
      at least the one hundred fifty thousand (150,000 cfs flow line elevation, 
      100-year flood elevation, or at natural ground elevation, whichever is 
      highest and may not unreasonably obstruct floodflows.

      (4) The board may require the owner of a dwelling, pursuant to section 16, 
      to execute an agreement in which the owner agrees to evacuate all 
      residents and guests upon order of an authorized government official when 
      flooding is forecasted for the area.
