A. Geologic Hazard Potential: Geologic hazards shall include, but not be limited to, avalanches, landslides, rockfalls, mudflows, debris fans, unstable or potentially unstable slopes, ground subsidence, faulting, expansive soil or rock, Pierre Shale, and mining related modifications or other manmade modifications of the natural geology which may pose some geologic hazard.

No development shall occur in any area of, or affected by, a geologic hazard unless mitigated to the satisfaction of the town. Proof of mitigation may require reports as specified by the town.

B. Erosion Hazard Potential: No sediment should leave the property boundary of a development site and be transported onto adjacent properties or rights-of-way. Erosion control measures shall be installed where required by the town through the Breckenridge water quality and sediment transport control ordinance.

C. Flood Danger To Life Or Property: No development shall increase danger to life or property from flood hazard within the town. This shall include, but not be limited to, prohibition of actions which might increase the size of the floodway, reduce flood channel capacity, constrict the size or flow of the flood channel, create a significant backflow condition, increase the potential for debris in the floodway, or increase the volume or velocity of floodwaters.

D. Floodplains: For all areas located within the special flood hazard areas as delineated on the flood boundary floodway map, the flood insurance rate maps and the flood insurance study, a plan of onsite flood prevention, control and hazard mitigation shall be prepared and implemented according to the provisions of the Breckenridge flood damage prevention ordinance.
