It is the policy of the Town Council to require that erosion and sediment control measures be employed prior to any land-disturbing activities to prevent off-site damage due to erosion and sedimentation of drainage ditches, storm sewers, ponds, lakes, streets or other property, public and private, due to the change in land use or rerouting of surface water. All erosion and sedimentation control measures employed shall comply with the design criteria, standards and specifications as set forth in the Indiana Handbook for Erosion Control in Developing Areas, and its updates and amendments, as published by the State Department of Natural Resources.
