Section 6 General Requirements for Areas Other Than University Lake Watershed a. Protection of Property - person(s) conducting land- disturbing activities shall take all reasonable measures to protect all public and private property from damage by such activities. This requirement shall apply to any areas to be disturbed, regardless of the size of the area to be uncovered. b. Erosion Control Plan Requirement - Prior to the commencement of any land-disturbing activity that will result in the uncovering of more than 20,000 square feet of land, the person(s) conducting the land-disturbing activity must prepare and submit an Erosion Control Plan for the proposed site. The Plan must be approved and a Grading Permit obtained prior to the start of the disturbance. "- - Z - • tr .V1wg • . , • -tit : : COMMENTARY: Experience has shown that Plan Waivers for disturbances of 20,000 to 40,000 square feet are inappropriate, and practice has been not to grant them. A plan is needed showing the site, erosion control, and stabilization so that staff can determine if adequate controls will be provided and to know who to contact if problems arise. Many of the sites that fall into this category are simple and, therefore, require simple plans. However, some sites in this category, particularly. in urban areas, can be difficult and require detailed plans. Section 17 Permits a. No person shall undertake any land-disturbing activity which would require the uncovering of 20,000 square feet or more of land without first obtaining the required approvals and permits from the Erosion Control Officer. • Permit Application forms must be signed by the landowner or his authorized agent. The agent signing must have a signed letter of authorization from the owner. No permit is required for the following activities: 1. For the purpose of fighting fires.
