18-504 : Plan to contain measures to meet approved standards.

The drainage and sediment control plan shall contain measures that will ensure that the development will meet or exceed the following standards.

  1. The development fits within the topography and soils in a manner that allows stormwater and erosion control measures to be implemented in a manner satisfactory in the Mountain City Planning Commission.
  2. Provisions are implemented that accommodate any increase in stormwater runoff generated by the development in a manner in which the existing levels of runoff are not increased during and following construction. Hydraulic calculations will be based on a twenty-five (25) year storm.
  3. Whenever feasible, natural vegetation shall be returned and protected and temporary ground covers or mulching shall be used during development when necessary.
  4. Sediment and retention basins shall be used when necessary to prevent additional runoff and to prevent damage to adjacent property owners or the town's stormwater system. (1994 Code, § 18-404)
