<br /> "Remedy a violation"means to bring the structure or other development into compliance with State or local
<br /> floodplain management regulations, or, if this is not possible, to reduce the impacts of its noncompliance.
<br /> Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other affected development from

<br /> or improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means the first placement of
<br /> permanent construction of a structure (including a manufactured home) on a site, such as the pouring of
<br /> slabs or footings,installation of piles,construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation
<br /> or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation.Permanent construction does not include land
<br /> preparation, such as clearing, grading, and filling, nor does it include the installation of streets and/or
<br /> walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings,piers or foundations, or the erection of
<br /> temporary forms;nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings,such as garages

<br /> "Substantial improvement"means any repair,reconstruction,rehabilitation,addition,or other improvement
<br /> of a structure,the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before
<br /> the "start of construction" of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred
<br /> "substantial damage",regardless of the actual repair work performed The term does not,however,include
<br /> either: (1) any project of improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of State or local health,
<br /> sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and
<br /> which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions; or, (2) any alteration of a historic
