Development, land disturbing activity, and encroachments in floodways shall not be authorized unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses required in accordance with § 144-36A of this chapter that the proposed encroachment will not result in any increase in the base flood level during occurrence of the base flood discharge. If § 144-36A is satisfied, proposed elevation, addition, or reconstruction of a lawfully existing structure within a floodway shall also be in accordance with § 144-74 of this chapter and the floodway requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:13.
