(A) In addition to the requirements of §§ 55.060 through 55.063, the stormwater pollution prevention plan, which is to be submitted to the town as part of the stormwater management permit application, must also include post-construction stormwater quality measures. These measures are incorporated as a permanent feature into the site plan and are left in place following completion of construction activities to continuously treat stormwater runoff from the stabilized site. Any project located within the corporate boundaries of the town that includes clearing, grading, excavation, and other land disturbing activities, resulting in the disturbance of 10,000 square feet or more of total land area is subject to the requirements of this section. This includes both new development and re-development, and disturbances of land less than 10,000 square feet of total land area that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will ultimately disturb 10,000 square feet or more of total land area. In addition, regardless of the amount of disturbance, the town reserves the right to require pre-treatment BMPs for proposed hot spot developments in accordance with provisions contained in the Bargersville Stormwater Technical Standards Manual.
(B) The requirements under this section do not apply to construction activities associated with single-family residential dwellings disturbing less than one acre, when the dwelling is not part of a larger common plan of development or sale; or individual building lots within a larger permitted project.
(C) The requirements under this section do not apply to the following activities, provided other applicable state permits contain provisions requiring immediate implementation of soil erosion control measures:
(1) Landfills that have been issued a certification of closure under 329 IAC 10.
(2) Coal mining activities permitted under I.C. 14-34.
(3) Municipal solid waste landfills that are accepting waste pursuant to a permit issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management under 329 IAC 10 that contains equivalent stormwater requirements, including the expansion of landfill boundaries and construction of new cells either within or outside the original solid waste permit boundary.
(D) It will be the responsibility of the project site owner to complete a stormwater permit application and ensure that a sufficient construction plan is completed and submitted to the town in accordance with §§ 55.080 through 55.089. It will be the responsibility of the project site owner to ensure proper construction and installation of all stormwater BMP's (especially, the protection of post-stormwater BMPs during construction phase) in compliance with this chapter and with the approved stormwater management permit, and to notify the town upon completion of the project and stabilization of the site, requesting a termination inspection to be performed by the town. However, all eventual property owners of stormwater quality facilities meeting the applicability requirements must comply with the requirements of this section and this chapter.
