What are we doing?
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is in the process of updating its Floodplain Management Bylaw. The current Floodplain Management Bylaw was adopted in 2009 and the RDCK has had a floodplain bylaw in place since 1994.
What is the purpose?
The current bylaw contains outdated regulations and terminology about flood hazard and risk. The primary goal of this project is to guide and modernize the RDCK and Village of Salmo’s community land use policies and regulations (and associated mapping) related to flood and steep creek hazards to integrate the extensive hazard mapping and risk assessments completed since 2019.
Why is this important?
The bylaw applies to all electoral areas and regulates how construction and land development can proceed in areas with known hazards. Policy and bylaws related to flood, erosion and steep creeks provide the essential instruments to improve disaster resilience through informed development decisions.
