   (a)   When a proposed development involves one (1) acre or more of earth-disturbing activities and performed on land used or land being developed for commercial industrial, residential, recreational, public service or other nonfarm purposes which are within the jurisdiction of the City, the owner of record shall develop and submit to the Bureau of Buildings Inspections, Licenses and Permits a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

    For development involving less than one (1) acre of earth-disturbing activities, but is part of the larger common plan of developing or sale that will ultimately disturb one (1) or more acres of land, the owner of record shall develop and submit to the Bureau of Buildings, Inspections, Licenses and Permits a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

   No earth-disturbing activities shall commence prior to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan being filed, reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.

   (b)   In the event that any person has disturbed less than one (1) acre of earth and such disturbances are creating a nuisance to abutting properties and/or entering the City's infrastructure or public right-of-way, the City reserves the right to require erosion and sediment controls to be established in accordance with Chapter 1362 of the City of Mansfield Codified Ordinances and enforcement per Section 1362.06.
