(a) If a Grading Permit is issued by the Town, land disturbance may proceed in accordance with the Grading Permit and this article. Barriers, such as silt fence, shall be in place prior to grading in order to contain sediment on site. All reasonable measures, such as gravel aprons, shall be used to prevent the tracking of mud from the site onto public or private streets. The location where stormwater runoff leaves the site shall not be altered, and to the extent practicable, runoff shall not be concentrated. Off-site, adjacent properties shall be protected from damage due to the grading and the resultant runoff. Vegetation, such as grass, shall be planted and established within ninety (90) days from the issuance of the Grading Permit to a degree sufficient to prevent soil erosion. With justification, the Stormwater Administrator may grant an extension of up to ninety (90) additional days.
(b) The Stormwater Administrator may order that work on the site be stopped if it is not in compliance with this article or the Grading Permit. Upon the expiration of the Grading Permit or the Stormwater Administrator ordering that the work be stopped, the Permittee shall cease all grading related activities except as needed to establish vegetation and to control soil erosion and sedimentation.
