Measures shall be taken by the Owner/Developer to minimize erosion and its impacts during subdivision construction activity. The Planning and Zoning Board may require detailed erosion and sedimentation plans to be submitted if it determines that the size and/or scale of the proposed subdivision warrants such action. Generally, such a plan shall be required for any proposed land disturbance of five (5) acres or more or according to current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations, whichever is more restrictive. Such plans shall indicate the techniques to be used to control erosion both during and after construction and permanently, and include a schedule for installing same. Erosion control plans shall be based on the control of erosion on-site, with the objective of eliminating or minimizing erosion and sedimentation impacts off-site. Techniques, devices and/or measures used shall be reviewed and approved by the Village Engineer.
Proposed erosion and sediment control design shall conform to the most recent edition of the Rainwater and Land Development, Ohio's Standards for Stormwater Management, Land Development and Urban Stream Protection manual, published by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
An Ohio EPA Notice of Intent (NOI) permit shall be obtained prior to any ground disturbance of five (5) acres or more according to current EPA requirements.
All erosion and sedimentation control devices shall be in place at the start of construction activity. (Ord. 2000-14. Passed 7-24-00.)
