Chapter 5 : Vegetated Buffer Zone And Stormwater Quality Management
19-517 : The protection of water quality buffers during construction.
- Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, all water quality buffer areas shall remain protected from land disturbance, vegetation removal, construction of impervious surfaces, and discharges of sediment and other construction-related wastes during development activities.
- Water quality buffers shall be clearly identified on all construction drawings, and marked with the statement "Water quality buffer. Do not disturb."
- The entire perimeter of water quality buffer areas must be clearly marked at the site of development or redevelopment prior to the initiation of land disturbing activities. A combination of stakes, flagging, silt fence and/or orange construction fence may be used to ensure adequate visibility of the water quality buffer perimeter. The perimeter markings must be inspected and approved by the director of engineering and public works, or his/her designee, prior to approval of a grading permit.
- Water quality buffers cannot be encroached upon or disturbed during project construction, unless they are being established, restored, or enhanced in accordance with an approved buffer enhancement plan.
- All areas of the water quality buffer, including streambanks, shall be left in a stabilized condition upon completion of construction activities. No actively eroding, bare or unstable areas shall remain. (1999 Code, § 19-717)
