Floodway Permit
Description:
A floodway permit is required prior to any development within
a designated floodplain. Development
is defined as any man-made change to real estate including grading,
filling, utility installation, building construction and fence
installation. The floodways
are located adjacent to the Mississippi River, Cedar, Emery and Curtis
Creeks and their tributaries.
Application:
Floodway permits are issued by the City Engineer.
The City Engineer's Office is located on the 2nd floor of City
Hall, 730 Maine Street.
Requirements:
Generally construction is not permitted within a floodplain.
Floodplain permits can be issued for certain developments only if
the new development will not increase the flood potential for adjacent
property owners and the development is constructed to withstand the 100
year flood. Certain
developments in the floodplain will also require a permit from the Corp
of Engineers, the Department of Water Resources of the Illinois
Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency
prior to the issuance of a floodway
permit. Developments
adjacent to a floodplain may require an elevation certificate verifying
that a development is located above the 100 year flood elevation.
Permit Fee Schedule:
No fee.
