include 1) The flood zone of Rock Creek, 2) The flood zone of the Nehalem
River, 3) The steep slopes area of Oregon-American Hill, and 4) The steep
slopes area of Cory Hill. The flood zones have been indicated by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Insurance study which
recommended policies for flood areas. These policies are below. The Steep
slope area developments depend on the soil and soil associations. Columbia
County is in the process of updating its soil information at the present (1978)
time. The results from this updated survey should be utilized to update this
plan at that time, probably 1980. Present information is included in the
Vernonia Inventory.
Hazard Area Policies
1. Development in the flood zone shall follow the recommendation of the
Federal Flood Insurance Program. Briefly, its provisions are as outlined
below.
Uses proposed for floodplains should:
a. not change the flow of surface water during future flooding so as to cause a
* compounding of flood hazards, or the direction of velocity of flood water flow;
b. not reduce the capacity of the floodplain or increase flood heights beyond
standards set forth below;
c. not result in environmental degradation considering the natural features
and ecological balance of the upstream and downstream areas;
d. not interfere with the efficiency and effectiveness of areas behind dikes,
such as lift pumps and flap gates;
e. have the approval of the Planning Commission. (The Planning Commission
has the authourity to commission an impartial engineer to determine if
proposed uses comply with the above conditions at cost to the developer.)
Structures permitted in the Flood Zone shall:
a. be constructed at least one foot in elevation abe the elevation of the
floodplain or 100 feet from the boundary of the designated floodplain line,
whichever is lesser;
b. have utility openings which are locked and sealed;
c. be flood proofed on the first level or otherwise protected from significant
damage and innundation;
d. be such that the finish ground elevation of any underfloor crawl space is
above the grade elevation of an adjacent street or natural or approved
drainage way unless otherwise specifically approved by the building inspector.
A positive means of drainage, from the low point of such crawl space shall be
provided, such as concrete tile or plastic pipe of at least 4 inches in diameter;
and,
e. be served by water services and/or public sanitary sewers which are
designed so as to not become a health hazard during future flooding.
2.Development in steep hillside area within and around the city is discouraged.
Developers are required to have proposals checked by the Planning
Commission which may require a qualified engineering geologist or other
qualified engineer to review construction plans in areas noted in the Vernonia
Inventory for steep slopes.

Christman is a holiday full of fun
And faces are brighter than the sun
Kids and Moms and Dads open presents with glee
Because they have apretty Christmas tree.
And snowfalls from the sky
So the skiers can fly
Christmas is such a fun holiday
But soon it will go away.

On Christmas day,
You need a tree for Christmas
To put the presents under
To look or to see.
You make a Christmas dinner to eat
And to smell
And then go to bed
And wait for Santa to come.

Santa Claus comes down
The chimney and brings his
Sack of toys and puts the
Presents under the tree and
Climbs up the chimney and
gets on his sleigh and rides away
