3.25 OTTAWA RIVER FLOODPLAIN
The approximate location of the Ottawa River Flood Plain is delineated on the
Schedules to this By-law. All zones along the Ottawa River must be read in
conjunction with these provisions.
Through the collaborative efforts of the federal and provincial governments
and the former Township and Village of Petawawa, Flood Damage Reduction
Program (FDRP) maps delineating the flood plain of the Ottawa River were
completed for the former municipalities in the early 1990s. The FDRP
mapping depicts the regulatory flood elevation (i.e., 1:100 year flood event),
the location of the regulatory flood line and, where appropriate, the floodway
boundary.
The floodway is the inner portion of the floodplain where flood depths and
velocities are generally higher than those experienced in the flood fringe and
are considered to be such that they pose a potential threat to life or
property.
The flood fringe is the outer portion of the floodplain, between the floodway
and the limit of the regulatory flood line. Flood depths and velocities are
generally less severe in the flood fringe than those experienced in the
floodway.
For site specific flood elevations, refer to the FDRP maps which delineate the
flood plain of the Ottawa River.

engineering techniques and resource management practices. All flood
proofing requiring more than one metre of fill shall be certified by a
qualified engineer.
(b)
All applications for building permits must be accompanied by a plan of
survey prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor or Professional Engineer
at the owner's expense, identifying the flood plain design elevation.

Essential emergency services and disposal, manufacture, treatment or
storage of hazardous substances are not to be located within the flood
