The purpose of this chapter is to eliminate and prevent accelerated erosion that has led to, or could lead to, degradation of water quality, loss of fish habitat, damage to property, loss of topsoil and vegetation cover, disruption of water supply, increased danger from flooding and the deposition of sediments and associated nutrients.
This chapter requires control of all existing and potential conditions of human-induced accelerated erosion within all areas of the City. This chapter sets forth required provisions for project planning, preparation of erosion control plans, runoff control, land clearing and winter operations and establishes procedures for administering those provisions.
(a) No person shall cause or allow the continued existence of a condition on any site that is causing or is likely to cause accelerated erosion as determined by the Director of Public Works.
(b) Upon citation by the Director of Public Works, the responsible person, shall take all appropriate measures to control erosion on the site specified in the notification within the period of time determined by the Director of Public Works.
(d) The Director of Public Works may direct that any particular operation, process or construction be stopped during periods of inclement weather if he or she determines that erosion problems are not adequately being controlled.
