Adequate provision must be made for the sharing of the <br />construction and maintenance expenses of the facilities. A request to use <br />off -site drainage facilities and all information related to the proposed off - <br />site facilities should be made part of the developer's erosion and <br />sedimentation control plan. <br />SECTION 14 ADDITIONAL MEASURES <br />Whenever the Erosion Control Officer determines that significant sedimentation is <br />occurring as a result of land - disturbing activity, despite application and maintenance of <br />protection practices, the person conducting the land- disturbing activity or the person <br />responsible for maintenance will be required to take additional protective action. <br />SECTION 15 EXISTING UNCOVERED AREAS <br />A. Existing Sites <br />All uncovered areas existing on the effective date of this Ordinance which (1) resulted <br />from land - disturbing activities not excluded under Section 5, and (2) if such areas are <br />outside the University Lake, Cane Creek, and Upper Eno Watersheds exceed 20,000 <br />square feet, and (3) are subject to continued accelerated erosion, and (4) are causing <br />off -site damage from sedimentation, shall be provided with a ground cover or other <br />protective measures, structures, or devices sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion <br />and control off -site sedimentation. <br />B. Notice of Violation <br />The Erosion Control Officer will serve upon the landowner or other person in <br />possession or control of the land written notice of violation by registered or certified <br />mail, return receipt requested, or other means reasonably calculated to give actual <br />notice. The notice will set forth the measures needed to comply and will state the time <br />within which such measures must be completed.
