(A) During development of a site, the person conducting the land-disturbing activity shall install and maintain all temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures as required by the approved application and any provision of, or order adopted pursuant to, this Ordinance or the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (G.S. 113A-50 et seq., as amended).
(B) After development of the site is complete, the landowner or person in possession or control of the land shall install and/or maintain all necessary permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures, except for those measures installed within a road or street right-of-way or easement that a government agency has accepted for maintenance.
(C) Whenever the Town determines that significant sedimentation is occurring as a result of a land-disturbing activity, despite the application and maintenance of protective practices, the person conducting the land-disturbing activity or the person responsible for maintenance shall be required to take additional protective action as the Town deems necessary to control the sedimentation.
(D) All uncovered areas that existed on the effective date of the State rules and resulted from land disturbing activity, exceed twelve thousand (12,000) square feet, are subject to continued accelerated erosion, and are causing off-site damage from sedimentation, shall be provided with a ground cover or other protective measures, structures, or devices sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion and control off-site sedimentation. The required ground cover shall be consistent with this Section 3.13 and Chapters 7 and 14 of this Ordinance.
