(A) (1) The Site Construction Best Management Practices Manual, a specimen copy of which is located at the City Clerk’s office, shall be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in all respects in order to provide guidance on best management practices selection, design, and implementation to plan submitters, reviewers, construction site operators, and site inspectors.
(2) Should any development, having storm water run-off issues, fail in any respect to comply with the Manual, with the Mayor’s written approval, either the Street Department or the Joint City- County Planning and Zoning Commission shall have the authority to issue a stop-work order requiring the developer, or anyone with a business relationship with the developer, to immediately cease and desist further work on the project until there is full compliance with the Manual, at which time a written directive shall be issued authorizing the work to begin again.
(B) Dust control shall be utilized in association with all earth moving and site grading activities and in areas with frequent construction traffic.
(C) A stabilized construction entrance shall be constructed wherever vehicles are leaving a construction site to enter a public road or at any unpaved entrance/exit location where there is a risk of transporting mud or sediment on paved roads. The developer shall remove all loose soil, mud or sediment from any public road at the end of each days work.
(D) The following best management practices shall be used to achieve soil stabilization:
(1) Mulch. Areas requiring stabilization during December through February shall receive only mulch (hay, straw or other natural fiber) spread for a 75% or greater ground coverage. Mulching shall be used whenever permanent or temporary seeding is used.
(2) Temporary seeding. Temporary seeding shall be used for soil stabilization when grades are not ready for permanent seeding, except during December through February. Only rye grain or annual rye grass seed shall be used for temporary seeding.
(3) Permanent seeding.
(a) Permanent seeding shall be applied within 14 days after final grade has been reached, except December through February.
(b) Permanent seeding shall also be applied on any areas that will not be disturbed again for a year, even if final grades have not been reached.
