The developer shall also coordinate with the KYDOW and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine whether permits are required from these agencies before construction begins. Each developer shall submit an application to the city of a form provided by the city. Each permit application shall include a statement that any land clearing, construction or development involving the movement of earth shall be in accordance with the EPSC Plan and that a certified contractor shall be responsible for implementing and maintaining all aspects of the plan.

(C) All permit applications shall include the appropriate erosion review/land disturbance and inspection permit fee. Depending on the amount of land disturbance, various levels of permits are required with verifying amounts of application fees. The permits required to be obtained from the city, the items required for each permit type and the fee amounts for each permit type are contained in the city Stormwater BMP Manual.
