(A) Property owners or other persons in charge of property shall not cause, or permit to be caused, the discharge of sediment or water onto adjoining property or the public right-of-way unless the permit application is accompanied by a drainage plan accepted by the affected property owners, or the applicant has demonstrated compliance with state laws regarding discharge of sediment or water.
(B) The following measures are suggested as possible means to prevent such discharges:
(1) Minimal removal of vegetative cover, particularly trees;
(2) Temporary measures for controlling run-off, such as berms or holding ponds;
(3) The planting of vegetative cover as soon as possible after each phase of construction, including excavation, grading, and/or land clearing; and
(4) Design of the site to avoid steep areas or other hazards.
