SCHEDULE B - FLOODPLAIN PROVISIONS
Pursuant to the Municipal Act, areas of the Municipality designated as floodplain are as follows:
Those portions of the land within the floodplain setback specified in Section 2 of this Schedule,
and those portions of land lower than the flood construction level specified in Section 3 of this
Schedule.
1.
Definitions
For the purpose of this schedule the following definitions shall apply:
Alluvial Fan means the alluvial deposit of a stream where it issues from a steep mountain
valley or gorge upon a plain or at the junction of a tributary stream with the main stream.
Designated Flood means a flood, which may occur in any given year, of such magnitude as to
equal a flood having a 200-year occurrence interval, based on a frequency analysis of
unregulated historic flood records or by regional analysis where there is inadequate stream flow
data available. Where the flow of a large watercourse is controlled by a major dam, the
designated flood shall be set on a site specific basis.
Designated Flood Level means the observed or calculated elevation for the designated flood
and is used in the calculation of the flood construction level.
Flood Construction Level means the designated flood level plus the allowance for freeboard
and is used to establish the elevation of the underside of a floor system or top of a concrete slab
for habitable buildings. It also establishes the minimum crest level of a Standard Dike. Where
the designated flood level cannot be determined or where there are overriding factors, an
assessed elevation above the natural boundary of the watercourse or standing body of water or
above the natural ground elevation may be used.
Floodplain Setback means the minimum required distance from the natural boundary of a
watercourse, lake or other body of water to any landfill or structural support required to elevate a
floor system above the flood level.
Floodproofing means the alternation of land or structures either physically or in use to reduce
or eliminate flood damage and includes the use of elevation and/or Freeboard means a vertical
distance added to the designated flood level and is used to establish the flood construction
level.
Habitable Area means any room or space within a building or structure which is or can be used
for human occupancy, commercial sales, or storage of goods, possessions or equipment
(including furnaces) which would be subject to damage if flooded.
Natural Boundary means the visible high water mark of any lake, river, stream or other body of
water where the presence and action of the water are so common and usual and so long

continued in all ordinary years as to make upon the soil of the bed of the lake, river, stream or
other body of water a character distinct from that of the banks thereof, in respect to vegetation,
as well as in respect to the nature of the soil itself (Land Act, Section 1). In addition, the natural
boundary includes the best estimate of the edge of dormant or old side channels and marsh
areas.
Standard Dikes means those built to a minimum crest evaluation equal to the flood
construction level and meeting standards of design and construction approved by the Ministry of
Environment, Lands and Parks and maintained by an ongoing authority such as a local
government body.
Watercourse means any natural or man made depression with well defined banks and a bed
0.6m (2ft) or more below the surrounding land serving to give direction to a current of water at
least six (6) months of the year or having a drainage area of 2 km2 (.77mi2)or more upstream of
the point of consideration.
