17.14.040 Erosion and Sediment Control Plans.
(A) All proposed Land Disturbance activity that requires a Permit in accordance with Chapter 17.12 of this Title shall be depicted on a site-specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Land Disturbance activities that do not require a Permit in accordance with this Chapter are required to employ applicable BMPs included in standard details provided by the City Engineer. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval in accordance with the procedure described in Subsection B below. The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) Proposed site map.
(2) Limits of areas to be disturbed.
(3) Proposed Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs to be employed.
(4) Phasing of Erosion and control measures.
(5) Final stabilization plan for each phase.
(6) Details and specifications for any sections of the final storm sewer system that must be constructed after the removal of BMPs such as temporary Sediment basins.
(7) Work schedule.
(8) Maintenance and inspection requirements.
The City Engineer may require any additional information or data deemed appropriate to ensure compliance with the intent, purpose and provisions of this Chapter.
(B) Review and Approval of Erosion and Sediment Control Plans. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, manner, nature and extent of the work proposed. The Plan shall clearly show that the proposed work will conform to the provisions of this Title, the Erosion and Sediment Control Standards, and other relevant laws, ordinances, policies, rules and regulations as determined by the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall review the submitted documents to determine compliance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Standards. If the City Engineer finds that the Plan is in compliance with this Chapter, the Applicant shall be eligible to request a Permit. If the City Engineer finds that the Plan is not in compliance before the Plan can be resubmitted to determine compliance with this Chapter, the City Engineer shall advise the Applicant which elements of the Plan are not in compliance.
(C) Preparation of Plans. Erosion and Sediment Control Plans submitted to the City for review must be prepared under the supervision of and sealed by a licensed professional engineer or landscape architect or by a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC). The engineer or landscape architect must be licensed to practice in the State. The City Engineer may waive this Plan preparation requirement if the Applicant’s Plan consists entirely of utilizing standard plans and specifications as adopted in the City’s Erosion and Sediment Control Standards.
(D) Amended Plans. Work shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved Plan. If Erosion control measures installed per the approved Plan do not function as intended, the Developer and/or contractor may make field adjustments to the Erosion control facilities with the approval of the City’s on-site inspector. Significant design modifications that do not conform to the general intent of the approved Plan must be authorized by the City Engineer prior to installation. (Ord. 09-25 § 2, 2009.)
