A. Temporary Erosion Control Plans.

1. When determined by the director of public works, the applicant shall submit plans for temporary erosion control for approval. Temporary erosion control plans for the construction period must be equal to, or more effective than, the equivalent best management practices adopted by the Public Works Director.

2. Temporary erosion control plans will be required when any of the following conditions exist:

a. There is a probability that runoff from graded areas cannot be contained on the subject property;

b. There is a major watercourse which will be adversely affected by runoff from the graded area.

3. Temporary erosion control plans shall be substituted and approved at the time the grading or building permit is obtained.

4. The applicant shall be responsible for maintaining temporary erosion control measures to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director at all times. To guarantee conformance to requirements, the director of public works may require appropriate bonding and/or cash deposits.

B. Permanent Erosion Control Plans.

1. Each grading plan submitted to the City for approval must include provisions for permanent erosion control. Erosion control techniques proposed for the post-construction period must be equal to or more effective than the equivalent best management practices adopted by the Public Works Director.

2. Plans shall include detailed design and installation specifications for both temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures. Supporting calculations, including runoff calculations, shall also be submitted. To insure compliance with the approved plans, the director of public works may require appropriate bonding and/or cash deposits.

C. Guidelines for Information to be Submitted. In addition to or supplementing the information requested above, the applicant shall provide the following:

1. A narrative description of the proposed work and erosion problem areas;

2. Descriptions and design specifications for all forms of erosion and sediment control measures which may include sediment retention basins, surface runoff and vegetative measures;

3. A cost estimate for implementing and maintaining all of the above. (Ord. 89-1 § 2, 1989.)
