(a) Construction of, or an addition to, a residential structure of four (4) units or less, including an accessory structure for such a residential structure, shall not require the submission of a separate erosion and sediment control plan as a condition to the issuance of a building permit.
(b) However, the following shall be required during construction.
(1) Installation of a silt fence or other sediment control. In order to prevent sediment from washing into streets, catch basins, storm sewers, grassed open channels and adjacent properties, sediment controls shall be installed. Such controls shall include silt fences, diversion ditches, earthen berms, grass strips at least twenty-five (25) feet wide, or other controls as specified in the Stormwater Manual. Disturbed areas that drain directly to a sediment pond or a sediment trap by means of a temporary diversion ditch do not require additional sediment controls.
(2) Seeding and mulching. All disturbed areas shall be seeded and mulched within fourteen (14) days after final grading of the property and in areas not to grade which will be inactive for more than fourteen (14) days.
(3) Temporary gravel pad. A temporary gravel pad, thirty (30) feet wide, shall be installed from the edge of the street at least twenty (20) feet into the property, to provide a temporary construction entrance.
