Description: <p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">Designated Flood Areas (DFAs) are specific flood areas that are formally designated under Section 17 of The Water Resources Administration Act. There are two DFAs in Manitoba: the Red River Valley DFA south of Winnipeg, and the Lower Red River DFA north of Winnipeg.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">The purpose of the Designated Flood Areas is to ensure that new, permanent structures within the DFAs are constructed with flood protection. Flood protection is achieved by structures being built to site-specific elevations known as Flood Protection Levels, or being protected by dikes constructed to those levels.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">A Designated Flood Area Permit is required for any new permanent structure within a DFA. The Permit is issued by the Water Management and Structures Division of Manitoba Infrastructure.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">The Permit will specify the Flood Protection Level that must be used, and the flood protection requirements that must be adhered to.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">Site-specific Flood Protection Levels will be established on site by Manitoba Infrastructure prior to the commencement of construction. As well, inspection and compliance surveys will also be undertaken by Manitoba Infrastructure during and after the construction work.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">If a new structure is constructed without the required Designated Flood Area Permit, or constructed without the required flood protection, the structure may be ordered to be removed.<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(44, 49, 53); font-family:"Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:0.9em; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.4em; margin:0px; padding:0px 0px 10px; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-line:inherit; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">Alternately, a caveat may be registered against the property title indicating that the structure does not comply with flood protection requirements.
