Chapter 909 Storm Water Management Regulations does not apply to:
(a) Land disturbing activities related to producing agricultural crops or silviculture operations regulated by the Ohio Agricultural Sediment Pollution Abatement Rules (OAC 1501: 15-3-01 to 1501: 15-3-09) and existing at the time of passage of this regulation.
(b) Mining operations regulated by ORC Chapter 1513 and existing at the time of passage of this regulation.
(c) Surface mining operations regulated by ORC Chapter 1514 and existing at the time of passage of this regulation.
(d) Construction activities that do not include the installation of any impervious surface (e.g., soccer fields), abandoned mine reclamation activities regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, stream and wetland restoration activities, and wetland mitigation activities.
(e) Linear construction projects, (e.g., pipeline or utility line installation), which do not result in the installation of impervious surface and are independent of other construction projects (e.g., not part of a larger common plan of development or sale). However, linear construction projects must be designed to minimize the number of stream crossings and the width of disturbance and achieve final stabilization of the disturbed area.
(f) Transportation projects that are subject to industry specific Ohio EPA rules.
