(a) Measures shall be taken to minimize erosion and its impact during subdivision construction activity. Prior to construction, a copy of the Notice of Intent (NOI) to use the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's General Construction Permit, as well as the storm water pollution prevention plan prepared as part of the NOI, shall be submitted with the improvement plans for review by the municipality. All erosion control devices shall be in place at the start of construction and maintained by the subdivider at all times, and other measures implemented according to the approved time schedule. Such erosion control devices, techniques and other measures shall not be removed and/or disturbed until earth disturbing activities on the site have been concluded.
(b) Erosion control plans shall be based upon controlling erosion on-site, with the object of eliminating or minimizing erosion or sedimentation impacts off-site. Erosion and sedimentation control plans shall follow the OEPA NPDES Phase II Permit and be approved by the municipal engineer.
(c) Erosion and sedimentation control techniques will be inspected by the municipality to ensure compliance with the State's General Construction Permit. The cost for this inspection shall be stipulated by ordinance. Failure to maintain erosion and sedimentation control measures as approved by the municipality is a violation of these Subdivision Regulations.
