A. Any person or entity engaging in activities pursuant to Chapter 12.04 or 20.04 YPMC shall: (1) prevent damage to the public rights-of-way, (2) keep streets clean and free of dirt, mud, or other debris, and (3) be prohibited from discharging, directly or indirectly, any matter into the storm and surface water system that may cause, or may tend to cause, damage to the surface water system, and cause the introduction of any pollutant into such system, and cause pollution of water within the system or its discharge location.

B. Any person or entity engaged in activities pursuant to Chapter 12.04 or 20.04 YPMC shall take all appropriate and necessary measures to (1) prevent damage to the public right-of-way, street surfaces or subsurfaces, storm and surface water systems, and (2) keep the street surfaces and ways open to the public free of dirt, mud, or other debris. Depending on the extent of the site development construction, excavation, material hauling, or demolition work, the town building official may require measures including, but not limited to (1): pre-activity photographs; (2) a cash deposit sufficient to guarantee full repair of storm and surface water systems, and cleaning and restoration of street surfaces and ways open to the public; (3) temporary protective sheeting; (4) special haul route times and designations; (5) temporary wheel washing stations or vehicle cleaning methods before a vehicle enters the public right-of-way; (6) covering of loads; (7) temporary erosion and sedimentation control; (8) temporary stormwater runoff control; (9) street vacuum sweeper cleaning; and/or (10) any other measures that are deemed appropriate or to be necessary to preserve and protect public streets, public rights-of-way, and ways open to the public.

C. A deposit for street cleaning and repairs, and storm or surface water system cleaning and repairs, may be required at the time a permit involving building construction, site development, excavation, material hauling, or demolition is issued, and prior to the beginning of any construction activities, when, in the opinion of the town building official, such activity will likely, or could reasonably result in damage to the public rights-of-way, or dirt, mud, or other debris on the streets. The deposit balance shall promptly be replenished to the initial deposit amount following any town draws pursuant to subsection D of this section. Deposit amounts shall be periodically set by town resolution.

D. In the event that any person or entity violates subsection A of this section and fails to take corrective action within a reasonable time, the town building official is authorized to sweep the street or accomplish the street repair.
