For the purposes of preventing flood damages and preserving the flood carrying capacity of streams, floodplain regulations shall apply to all buildings, structures, construction, excavation, and filling in the floodplain whether or not the land, buildings, structures, construction, excavation, or filling are for agricultural purposes. The Department of Natural Resources shall prepare manuals and model ordinances and shall advise counties on achieving floodplain regulation purposes without unnecessarily interfering with land uses.
