Chapter 3 : Erosion And Sedimentation Control Ordinance

13-306 : Site plan standards.

  1. Topography. The development plan should be fitted to the topography and soils in order to minimize erosion potential.
  2. Development coordination. Erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be coordinated with the required steps in construction, and appropriate control measures installed prior to the start of construction.
  3. Sequential control measures. Land shall be developed in increments of workable size, on which adequate controls of erosion and sedimentation can be provided and maintained during the construction period. Operations shall be staged so that the area being developed is not exposed for a long period of time without stabilization and so that the first disturbed areas are completely controlled before the next season is opened. The developer shall be required to schedule sequentially phased controls of erosion and sedimentation as coordinated with the development and construction stages, and shall specify in detail precisely which areas will be cleared first, and how long these areas will be exposed to the elements. No exposure period will be planned in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days. This period may be extended if satisfactory control measures are established and maintained.
  4. Runoff controls. Provisions shall be made to accommodate the increased runoff caused by changed soil surface conditions during the following developments. Runoff must be intercepted and safely conveyed to storm drains or natural outlets where it will not erode or flood land. The drainage system for the development shall be completed and made operational as quickly as possible during construction.
  5. Cover. Wherever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained and protected. Temporary vegetation and/or mulching shall be used to protect areas exposed during development where necessary.
  6. Sediment basins. (Debris basins, desilting basins or silt traps) sediment basins shall be installed and maintained to collect sediment from runoff waters from land undergoing development. Storm sewer inlets with debris guards and micro-silt basins to trap sediment and avoid possible damage by blockage shall be provided.
  7. Final vegetation and structures. The permanent vegetation structures shall be installed as soon as practical in the development.
  8. Paved areas. Streets, parking lots and other areas shall be paved as quickly as practical. (1996 Code, § 13-306)
