               Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH29FL_ARTIIFLHARE_DIV2FLHARE_S29-61BAESARSPFLHA" class="section-link" data-product-id="11337">section 29-61</a> are areas designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards
               associated with base flood depths of one to three feet where a clearly defined channel
               does not exist and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate;
               therefore, the following provisions shall apply:

                  street to or above the depth number specified on the county's FIRM.

                  substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having
                  the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy.
