(A) Measures used to control erosion on a development site shall, at a minimum, meet the standards and specifications of the county’s Conservation District. Stripping of vegetation, regrading, and cut and fill operations should be kept to a minimum, as should the amount of land and the duration of exposure. Whenever feasible, development plans should be made in conformance with topography in order to create the least erosion potential. Similarly, as much as possible, natural vegetation shall be retained, protected, and supplemented. The Planning Director, with assistance of the Conservation District, shall require any further measures as necessary to prevent erosion on building sites and developments from depositing wastes or sediments on roads or other property. Every effort shall be made to retain the natural vegetation on all ditches and drainageways. Ditches and drainageways will not be disturbed without the approval of the Planning Director and County Floodplain Administrator.
(B) Erosion control plans shall show:
(1) All proposed land disturbance including areas of excavation, grading, filling, removal, or destruction of topsoil and spreading of earth material; and
(2) Provisions for erosion control during construction. Such provisions shall include the sequence of the operations listed above with an estimated time of exposure. The proposed temporary measures to control erosion will be designed to withstand the two-year rain and be shown on the plan.
