Article 6: Development Standards 80 <br /> Section 6.15: Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Contro1201 F <br /> (iv) Occur within a buffer area circumscribing a water supply <br /> reservoir;or <br /> (v) Involve open burning of trees, limbs, stumps and construction <br /> debris associated with the permitted activity. <br /> 6.15.7 Design and Performance Standards <br /> (A) Basic Control Objectives <br /> An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan may be disapproved pursuant to Section <br /> 2.19 of this Ordinance if the plan-erosion and sedimentation control plan fails to address <br /> the following control objectives: <br /> (1) Identify Critical Areas <br /> On-site areas which are subject to severe erosion, and off-site areas which are <br /> especially vulnerable to damage from erosion and/or sedimentation, are to be <br /> identified and receive special attention, and appropriate m �mitigation220 <br /> measures are to be taken to protect those areas. <br /> (2) Plan for Erosion Control <br /> (a) Design the development and prepare the site plan so that the necessary <br /> sediment-trapping devices and erosion control measures can be <br /> accommodated and are accessible for maintenance and removal. <br /> (b) Observe the requirements and standards in Orange County's Semi <br /> Erosion and Sediment Control Manual and the Nerth Carolina Ero <br /> r„n+.,,1 oIa1A1R,,,,. and Desig nthe most current version of <br /> the 221 NC Erosion Control Manual. <br /> (3) Limit Exposed Areas <br /> All land-disturbing activities are to be planned and conducted to minimize the <br /> size of the area to be exposed at any one time. <br /> (4) Limit Time of Exposure <br /> All land-disturbing activities are to be planned and conducted to limit exposure to <br /> the shortest feasible time. <br /> (5) Control Upgrade 222 Stormwater Runoff223 <br /> Surfacewater-Stormwaterrunoff originating upgrade of exposed areas should be <br /> controlled to reduce erosion and sediment loss during the period of exposure. <br /> (6) Control Sedimentation <br /> All land-disturbing activities are to be planned and conducted so as to prevent <br /> off-site sedimentation damage. <br /> (7) Manage On-Site 224 Stormwater Runoff <br /> When the increase in the peak rates and velocity of storm-water runoff resulting <br /> from a land-disturbing activity is sufficient to cause accelerated erosion of the <br /> receiving watercourse, plate are tethe erosion and sedimentation control plan <br /> shall include measures to control the velocity and the rate of release at the point <br /> 22'Text correction—replaced "mitigative"with "mitigation". <br /> 221 Consistent reference to"most current version"of the NC Erosion Control Manual. <br /> 222 Text correction—added "Upgrade"so as to differentiate this sub-section from Section 6.15.7(A) (7). <br /> 223 Consistent use of"stormwater runoff'—NOTE. "storm water runoff"is integrated through the remainder of <br /> Section 6.15, where applicable. <br /> 224 Text correction—added "On-Site"so as to differentiate this sub-section from Section 6.15.7(A) (5). <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-119 <br />
