ii 0 3 Section 12 - aerations in Lakes or Other Natural Watercourses Land-disturbing activity in connection with construction in, on, over or under a lake or natural watercourse shall be planned and conducted in such a manner as to minimize the extent and duration of disturbance of the stream channel. The relocation of a stream, where relocation is an essential part of the proposed activity, shall be planned and executed so as to minimize changes in the stream flow characteristics except when justification for signif- icant alteration to flow characteristics is provided. Every effort shall be made to maintain buffer zones consisting of existing vegetation between the land-disturbing activity and the watercourse . Section 13 - Responsibility for Installation and Maintenance During the development of a site, the person engaged in or conducting the land-disturbing activity shall be responsible for installing and maintaining all temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities as required by the approved or revised Erosion Control Plan, any provision of the Ordinance, the Act, or any order adopted pursuant to this Ordinance or the Act. The responsibility for installing and maintaining permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities after completion of the site development shall lie with the land owner or person in possession or control of the land except facilities and measures installed within road or street rights-of-way or easements accepted for maintenance by a government agency. Section 13 .1 - Off-Site Facilities The Erosion Control Officer may allow stormwater runoff that is discharged in volumes or at rates in excess of those otherwise allowed by this Ordinance to be discharged into drainage facili- ties off the site of development if the off-site facilities and the channels leading to them are designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with the standards of this Ordinance. Adequate provision must be made for the sharing of the construc- tion and maintenance expenses of the facilities. A request to use off-site drainage facilities and all information related to the proposed off-site facilities should be made part of the develop er's erosion and sedimentation control plan. Section 14 - Additional Measures Whenever the Erosion Control Officer determines that significant sedimentation is occurring as a result of land-disturbing activi- ty, despite application and maintenance of protection practices, the person conducting the land-disturbing activity or the person responsible for maintenance will be required to take additional protective action.
