(A) In areas outside a (Q) Quarrying zoning district, whenever any blasting is involved in the excavation of any type of bedrock, or whenever the excavation of more than 50 cubic yards of sand, gravel, rock, or soil is involved as part of a building construction project, multi-structure development project, or a non-structural improvement such as pond construction, a landscaping project, or marina construction, an excavation permit shall first be obtained, in addition to any other zoning permits required in this chapter. This 50 cubic yard limitation refers to an annual amount of excavated material being removed from a single property (whether on a single lot or parcel, or two or more contiguous lots or parcels). To obtain an excavation permit, an excavation plan shall be prepared and submitted along with a bond or other acceptable from of financial guarantee to the village before such work may begin. The plan submitted shall illustrate the area to be excavated, the time frames for such excavation, and plans for the restoration of the property. All non-construction areas excavated and not to be built on, shall be restored to provide a vegetated slope that does not exceed one foot vertical for every three feet horizontal. The amount of the bond or other financial guarantee to the village shall be $500 unless a greater amount is specified by the Zoning Inspector as a result of unusual circumstances.
(B) Within areas which are zoned (Q) Quarrying, excavation activity is regulated in accordance with the standards prescribed therein, and state statutes as applicable.
