The term <br /> development means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, <br /> including but not limited to buildings, other structures, mining, dredging,filling, <br /> grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations, and storage of equipment or <br /> materials. A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis must be performed prior to the start of <br /> development, and must demonstrate that the development would not cause any rise in <br /> base flood levels. No rise is permitted within regulatory floodways. <br /> www.femagov <br />
