§ 6.06.08. Erosion and sediment control.

1.

All residential, commercial, and industrial projects, including single lot construction, shall incorporate sufficient erosion and sediment control procedures so that erosion and sedimentation from the project, or area served by the project, does not cause violations of applicable state and local water quality standards.

2.

The area of land disturbed by development shall be as small as practicable. Those areas which are not to be disturbed shall be protected by an adequate barrier from construction activity. Whenever possible, natural vegetation shall be retained and protected.

3.

No grading, cutting or filling shall be commenced until erosion and sedimentation control devices have been installed between the proposed disturbance and water bodies, watercourses and wetlands.

4.

Land which has been cleared for development and upon which construction has not commenced shall be protected from erosion by appropriate techniques designed to re-vegetate the area.

5.

Sediment shall be retained on the site of the development.

6.

Wetlands and other water bodies shall not be used as sediment traps during development.

7.

Erosion and sedimentation facilities shall receive regular maintenance to ensure that they continue to function properly.
