be responsible for the design, construction and funding of any
required upgrades or extensions to the utility service.
2.4.3 Existing Jurisdictional Agreements
2.4.3.1 Some training centers or Government installations have
written agreements with local jurisdictions which govern fire service,
utilities, roadways, and similar issues. The designer must verify
whether such agreements exist, and ensure that any requirements they
impose are incorporated into the project planning.
2.4.3.2 If the facility is located near a civilian or military airport, the
designer must verify the airport authority's requirements, which may
not be written into any agreement but will still apply to project
construction and operation. There may be height restrictions affecting
both construction operations and the finished building(s), other
airspace envelope restrictions, and requirements for noise insulation
which must be a part of the planning process.
2.4.4 Floodways
2.4.4.1 All sites will be investigated to verify whether they contain
designated floodways; this is typically a part of the EBS/EA effort.
The information is normally available from local planning and zoning
officials, or from public works water resources or planning sections
on Government installations that have a public works directorate or
department. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
publishes maps of formally studied and designated floodways; their
information is normally available through the state agencies
responsible for the implementation of the state's flood plain or flood
protection program.
2.4.4.2 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District (Civil Works) in
which the site is located will also have information as to whether or
not the site is protected by a Corps flood protection project.
2.4.4.3 Not all sites that flood are documented as part of a formal
flood plain study or shown on floodway maps; this is usually referred
to as small localized flooding, but may have a significant effect on any
one site. Therefore, investigation of local reports of flooding on the
sites may be needed. Many times, these reports are verbal or
included in local newspapers. A preliminary hydrology/hydraulic
analysis may be needed to determine the relative frequency and level
of flooding that will need to be mitigated by design of the site.
2.4.4.4 Floodway areas cannot normally be developed. Filling of
flood fringe areas is restricted and will require re-analysis of floodway
hydraulics if fill depths are exceeded; such filling may not be allowed.
