(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.
