Sec. 15-2-8    Performance Standards for Land Disturbing Construction Sites (Not for Buildings).
   (a)   Plan Requirement. The responsible party shall implement a written erosion and sediment control plan for each construction site, developed in accordance with Section 15-2-10, that incorporates the requirements of this Section.
   (b)   Erosion and Other Pollutant Control Requirements. The plan required under Subsection (a) shall include the following:
      (1)   BMPs that, by design, achieve to the maximum extent practicable, a reduction of eighty percent (80%) of the sediment load carried in runoff, on an average annual basis, as compared with no sediment or BMPs until the construction site has undergone final stabilization. No person shall be required to exceed an eighty percent (80%) sediment reduction to meet the requirements of this Subsection. Erosion and sediment controls may be used alone or in combination to meet the requirements of this Subsection. Credit toward meeting the sediment reduction shall be given for limiting the duration or area, or both, of land disturbing construction activity, or other appropriate mechanism.
      (2)   Notwithstanding Subsection (b)(1) above, if BMPs cannot be designed and implemented to reduce the sediment load by eighty percent (80%), on an average annual basis, the plan shall include a written and site-specific explanation as to why the eighty percent (80%) reduction goal is not attainable and the sediment load shall be reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
      (3)   Where appropriate, the plan shall include sediment controls to do all of the following to the maximum extent practicable:
         a.   Prevent tracking of sediment from the construction site onto roads and other paved surfaces.
         b.   Prevent the discharge of sediment as part of site de-watering.
         c.   Protect the separate storm drain inlet structure from receiving sediment.
      (4)   The use, storage and disposal of chemicals, cement and other compounds and materials used on the construction site shall be managed during the construction period, to prevent their entrance beyond the construction site or into waters of the state. However, projects that require the placement of these materials in waters of the state, such as constructing bridge footings or BMP installations, are not prohibited by this Subsection.
   (c)   Location. The BMPs used to comply with this Section shall be located to prevent runoff entering properties owned by others, Village stormwater conveyance systems or waters of the state.
   (d)   Alternate Requirements. The Village Engineer may establish stormwater management requirements more stringent than those set forth in this Section if the Village Engineer determines that an added level of protection is needed for sensitive resources.
