Section 3708.10 - Purpose

The purpose of this Part is to provide rules governing construction and filling in the regulatory floodway of rivers, lakes and streams of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties, excluding the City of Chicago so that periodic inundation will not:

a) Pose a danger to the general health and welfare of the user;

b) Require the expenditure of public funds;

c) Require the provision of public resources or disaster relief services (Section 18g of the Rivers, Lakes and Streams Act [615 ILCS 5 ]); and

d) Result singularly or cumulatively in greater flood damages or potential flood damages due to increases in flood stage or velocities or loss of flood storage.
