(a) The purpose of these regulations is to establish technically feasible and economically reasonable standards to achieve a level of erosion and sediment control that will minimize damage to property and degradation of water resources and wetlands, and will promote and maintain the health and safety of the citizens of Obetz.
(b) These regulations will:
(1) Allow development while minimizing increases in erosion and sedimentation.
(2) Reduce water quality impacts to receiving water resources and wetlands that may be caused by new development or redevelopment activities.
(c) This regulation applies to all parcels within the jurisdiction of the Village of Obetz used or being developed, either wholly or partially, for new or relocated projects involving earth and land disturbing activities for highways, underground cables, or pipelines; subdivisions or larger common plans of development; industrial, commercial, institutional, or residential projects; building activities on farms; redevelopment activities; general clearing; and all other uses that are not specifically exempted in Section 1164.01(d) below.
(d) This Chapter does not apply to the following:
(1) Activities regulated by, and in compliance with, the Ohio Agricultural Sediment Pollution Abatement Rules located in the Ohio Administrative Code;
(2) Minor land-disturbing activities such as home gardens and individual home landscaping, repairs, and maintenance work;
(3) Individual service connection;
(4) Installation, maintenance or repair of any underground public utility lines when such activity occurs on an existing hard surfaced road, street or sidewalk (provided the land-disturbing activity is confined to the area of the road, street or sidewalk that is hard surfaced), and does not involve dewatering operations that produce sediment-laden effluent discharging to surface-lands and/or surface-waters;
(5) Septic tank lines or drainage fields unless included in an overall plan for land-disturbing activity relating to the construction of the building to be served by the septic tank system;
(6) Repair or rebuilding of the tracks within the right-of-way of a railroad company;
(7) Emergency work to protect life, limb or property and emergency repairs; however, if the land-disturbing activity would have required an approved erosion and sediment control plan, if the activity were not an emergency, then the land area disturbed shall be shaped and stabilized in accordance with the requirements of the Village.
(Ord. 37-10. Passed 12-13-10.)
(a) All development activity subject to these regulations shall be provided with erosion and sediment control (ESC) practices during all phases of construction.
(b) No construction activity such as grading, cutting, or filling shall be commenced until erosion and sedimentation control devices have been installed to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer. When there is phased construction using non structural BMPs, the ESP must document the non structural BMPs being used.
(c) Stormwater discharges during the five-year design storm shall be released to natural channels at a non-erosive velocity of less than three feet per second unless the channel is stabilized or otherwise able to withstand higher velocities, as determined by the Village Engineer.
(d) No person shall cause or allow earth-disturbing activities on a development area except in compliance with the standards set out in this regulation and the applicable items below:
(1) Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (ESCP) shall be developed and implemented for all parcels disturbing one (1) acre or more and on which any regulated activity of Section 1164.01(c) is proposed. All parcels closer than fifty (50) feet to a first order stream, wetland, or body of water are required to develop and implement an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan regardless of the area disturbed. Development Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans shall meet the requirements of Section 1164.05.
(2) Rainwater and Land Development Manual. The erosion, sediment, and storm water management practices used to satisfy the conditions of this regulation shall meet the standards and specifications in the current edition of Ohio's Rainwater and Land Development manual or other standards acceptable to the Village Engineer.
(3) Owners and/or operators of projects subject to OEPA's Permit No. OH0000003 or most current version for storm water discharges associated with construction activities shall provide a copy of its OEPA notice of intent (NOI) submission and storm water pollution prevention plan (SWP3) submitted to the OEPA to the Village Engineer upon request.
(e) The standards outlined herein are general guidelines and shall not limit the right of the Village to impose additional, more stringent requirements, nor shall the standards limit the right of the Village to waive individual requirements.
(Ord. 37-10. Passed 12-13-10.)
