All plans shall be consistent with national pollutant discharge elimination permits (NPDES construction general permit and MS4 permit) requirements, Rosemount engineering guidelines, the Rosemount comprehensive surface water management plan, Rosemount spec and detail plates, and the filing or approval requirements of relevant watershed districts, watershed management organizations, ditch authorities, soil and water conservation districts, or other regulatory bodies.
a. The erosion and sediment control plan shall include the following:
(1) A project description of the nature and purpose of the land disturbing activity and the amount of grading involved.
(2) All existing site conditions, including existing soils, topography, vegetation (including size and type cover), natural resources and drainage.
(3) All critical erosion areas for areas on the site that have potential for serious erosion problems.
(4) A description of how the site will be stabilized after construction is completed, including specifications.
(5) A schedule of regular inspections and repair of erosion and sediment control structures.

Sequencing shall identify the expected date on which clearing will begin, phasing of clearing or grading, the estimated duration of exposure of cleared areas, areas of clearing, installation of temporary erosion and sediment control measures, and establishment of permanent vegetation.
(7) All erosion and sediment control measures necessary to meet the objectives of this local regulation and state and federal regulations throughout all phases of construction and after completion of development of the site. Depending upon the complexity of the project, the drafting of intermediate plans may be required at the close of each season. All of the following requirements shall be adhered to during the construction of the site:
(A) Stabilize all soils and soil stockpiles within the shortest feasible period of time, and according to the time lines established in NPDES permits.
(B) Prevent sediment damage to adjacent properties and other designated areas.
(C) Develop land in increments of workable sizes so that adequate erosion and sediment controls can be provided as construction progresses.
(D) Coordinate erosion and sediment control measures with the different stages of construction. Install appropriate control measures prior to development when necessary to control erosion.
(E) Engineer the construction of steep slopes.
(F) Use of temporary sediment basins is encouraged when construction projects will impact steep slopes or when highly erodible soils are present. Temporary sediment basins must be designed according to NPDES permit requirements.
(G) Protect storm sewers and paved roads from the entrance of sediment.
(H) Manage solid and hazardous wastes on site and properly dispose of wastes.
(I) When working in or crossing water bodies, take precautions to contain sediment.
(J) Ensure that a trained person will regularly inspect the construction site, according to the time lines established in NPDES permits.
(K) Maintain all temporary or permanent erosion and sediment control practices, according to the time lines established in NPDES permits.
(L) Establish permanent cover upon completion of the construction activity.
(M) Dispose of temporary erosion and sediment control measures following final stabilization.
(N) Seeding mixtures and rates, types of sod, method of seedbed preparation, expected seeding dates, type and rate of lime and fertilizer application, and kind and quantity of mulching for both temporary and permanent vegetative control measures. Required specifications are detailed in the city of Rosemount general specifications and engineering guidelines.
(O) Use methods of dewatering to reduce the discharge of turbid or sediment laden waters and prevent nuisance conditions.
(P) Use methods to manage solid and hazardous wastes, and limit the exposure of stormwater to any products, materials, and wastes and to prevent the contamination of stormwater.
4. Notwithstanding those items listed for inclusion in the Stormwater Management Plan above, all projects must show conformance with plans, policies, regulations, and procedures incorporated by reference in section 10-1-6 of this chapter.
5. Stormwater Management For Permanent Facilities: Stormwater control facilities included as part of the final design for a permanent development shall be addressed in section 10-1-13 of this chapter. Postconstruction stormwater management BMPs must be submitted to the city for review and approval before construction activity may begin.
6. Waiver: Any or all of the above plan requirements in this subsection B may be waived by the city engineer. (Ord. 2015-01, 2-17-2015; amd. Ord. 2023-05, 10-3-2023)
