flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure,

resistant to flood damage, and (c) use construction methods
and practices that will minimize flood damage; and

sanitary sewage systems to be designed to minimize or elimi-
nate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and dis-
charges from the systems into flood waters, and require on-
site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid
impairment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
