[Added 12-3-1992 by Ord. No. 92-25]
For the purposes of this article, unless the
context clearly indicates a different meaning, the words below shall
have the meanings stated below:
The unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the immediate
surface of the earth that serves as a neutral medium for the growth
of land plants.
The presumed fertile soil material, or one that responds
to fertilization, ordinarily rich in organic matter (about five to
eight inches in thickness).
No topsoil shall be removed from a site or used
as fill. Topsoil is to be stripped, stockpiled and protected prior
to any grading activity. After construction, topsoil shall be redistributed
evenly over the disturbed areas of the project that are going to be
revegetated/stabilized by approved seeding and/or planting.
No excess fill material shall leave any project
without municipal approval. If excess material is to be removed from
the site, the project owner/applicant shall be responsible for its
proper disposal and will notify the municipality and the Hunterdon
County Soil Conservation District of this location prior to removal
from the site. If applicable, a soil erosion and sediment control
plan must be submitted to, reviewed and certified by the Hunterdon
County Soil Conservation District before removal from the site.
