Legal Documents of Dandridge

No grading permit shall be issued until an erosion and sediment control plan has been approved by the office of the building inspector or their designee. The erosion and sediment control plan shall comply, at a minimum, with the requirements put forth in § 14-510 of this chapter. The building inspector or their designee may require additional information if deemed necessary. The complexity of the plan should be commensurate with the size of the project, severity of site conditions and potential for off-site damage. Each plan shall contain the name, address, and telephone number of the owner or developer of the property to be graded and a brief project description. In addition, a time schedule for completion and periodic maintenance after completion, calculations when needed, predevelopment and post development contours, details of erosion control practices, clearing and grading limits, daily clean-up and site control practices, and any other information needed to accurately depict solutions to development situations may be required.

The building inspector or their designee may require that the erosion and sediment control plan be developed by a qualified engineer, landscape architect, hydrologist, or other qualified personnel.

The building inspector or their designee shall review the plans with the necessary staff and make a determination with respect to the sufficiency of the erosion and sediment control plan within twenty (20) working days from submittal of the plan. No notification to the developer or owner within the ten (10) working days shall be deemed approval of the plan and the applicant will be eligible for a grading permit. If the plan is determined insufficient, the building inspector or their designee shall inform the developer or owner of deficiencies with the plan. After corrections and additions to the erosion and sediment control plan, the plan may be resubmitted to the building inspector for review. (1995 Code, § 14-507)
