A. The excavation and grading for completion of a development shall be done in accordance with the soil conservation district approved plan which contains soil erosion and sediment control provisions. Excavation of soil other than required for the construction of approved structures and supporting facilities, such as but not limited to streets, driveways and parking areas, except when resource extraction is authorized under the provisions of Article VIII and § 175-105 of this chapter, shall be prohibited. Regrading of property so as to redistribute topsoil throughout the site from areas excavated for such approved structures and supporting facilities shall be permitted, but shall be done to minimize or eliminate the erosion of soil. These areas shall be stabilized by seeding and planting.
B. No topsoil shall be removed from the site or used as spoil. Topsoil moved during the course of construction shall be redistributed so as to provide at least five inches of cover to all areas of subdivision and shall be stabilized by seeding or planting in accordance with § 175-136.
