ii. Data by Other Sources . If Base Flood Elevations (BFE) and floodway/non- encroachment area data are available from other sources, all new construction and substantial improvements within such areas shall also comply with all applicable provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Regulations and shall be elevated or flood proofed in accordance with standards in §9-1401 Flood Damage Prevention Regulations, k. Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction, (2) Specific Standards and §9-1401 Flood Damage Prevention Regulations, k.
