(d) Location of the proposed areas of excavation, fill, storage and disposal of earth materials;
(e) Delineation of the measures that will be used to control surface erosion and runoff from the site per the requirements of the EPA and the storm water pollution and prevention plan.
(f) Applicant shall provide plan for site restoration efforts that included final grading of the property after the structure or structures have been removed, sod installation, or grass seed and blanket installation not dependent on the time of the year, unless a new construction building permit has already been issued and construction proceeds in a timely fashion, typically within 30 days of the start of the demolition process; and
(g) Applicant shall have site restored in accordance of the approved plan, within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the demolition permit; and
(3) Identifying tree plan to include:
(a) Location;
(b) Size;

(B) Construction site safety and cleanliness standard.
(1) All demolition sites shall be enclosed by a continuous chain link fence six feet in height which shall be anchored sufficiently to resist wind loads of 30 pounds per square foot without deflection of more than three inches between the top and bottom of fence. The fence shall not contain any advertisements and shall include a fabric mesh to be affixed to the back of the fence that should encompass the fence from the top rail to the bottom rail around the perimeter of the property. Demolition permits will not be issued until building department personnel have verified the placement of said fence.
(2) The construction site fence shall be placed around the perimeter of the property or, for work in an area substantially smaller than the entire property, around the site of construction large enough to ensure sufficient room for movement of tools and workers and the safety of the public. This fence shall remain around the perimeter of the property until the excavated hole has been filled and graded.
(3) All dumpsters or debris collectors shall be stored behind the construction site fence and shall be regularly serviced to avoid overfilling. Construction materials and materials waiting for disposal shall be gathered daily and piled in a neat and orderly manner. Any person or entity applying for a demolition permit is responsible to comply with any and all applicable regulations pertaining to the safe disposal of construction debris and materials.
(4) The applicant or any subsidiaries shall take all necessary steps to ensure that dirt and debris from the construction site is not to be transmitted by vehicles leaving the site to the public way. In the event that dirt or debris is removed from the construction site onto the public way, the responsible party shall be accountable for restoring the area to its previous condition, within a timely manner, at least daily. Mitigation measures can include, but are not limited to: stoning or paving of construction site entrances, wheel wash stations, and street sweepers.
