Erosion, Soil, a=d Dust, and Sediment Control (Pollution
(A) Purpose: The purpose of this section is to provide standards and
procedures, and to prescribe techniques and methods for the control of sc, i! site erosion
resulting from land-disturbing activities.
(B) Applicability: These regulations apply to any project which involves the
disturbance of land in connection with land development. Such land-disturbing activities
shall include, but not be limited to, land clearing, grading, filling, and excavation,
construction of buildings, utilities, paving and drainage facilities, demolition, and any
other land-disturbing process other than for agricultural purposes. ~

with fabric or other covering, and wetting down the loose material with moisture
emulsions specific for that purpose.
(3) Prior to and during construction of all sites, the permittee
and/or responsible party, shall implement and maintain all erosion and sediment
control measures (Best Management Practices) included in the Pollution Prevention
Plan, required to retain sediment on-site and to prevent violations of state and

circumstances do not require such covering. Within 60 days after final grade is
3 Ord. No. 2-01
established on any portion of a project site, that portion of the site shall be provided with
established permanent soil stabilization measures according to the original construction
plan, whether by impervious surface or landscaping.
(5) The permittee and/or responsible party, shall correct any
erosion that causes adverse impacts to water resources. Sediment accumulation in
the stormwater system from construction activities must be removed at the cost of
the permittee to prevent a loss of storage volume.
(6) Construction sites that discharge directly or indirectly to a
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) must have a Pollution Prevention
Plan on-site at all times.
