A soil erosion and sediment control plan at
the same scale as the site plan, which meets the design requirements
of this bylaw, shall be prepared and submitted to the Department of
Public Works. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, the items
listed below and, at a minimum, be designed to provide sufficient
information to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of measures
proposed for soil erosion and sediment control during construction
to protect the environment, public welfare/health, and municipal facilities
and utilities. The following information shall be detailed on the
plan:
A. Name, address and telephone number of owner, civil
engineer and person responsible for implementation of the plan.
C. Location of all existing and proposed building and
impervious surfaces.
D. Location of all existing and proposed stormwater utilities,
including structures, pipes, swales and detention basins.
E. Soil erosion and sediment control provisions including
explanation of technical basis used to select the practices chosen
to minimize on-site erosion and prevent off-site sediment transport,
including provisions to preserve topsoil and limit disturbance.
F. Design details for both temporary and permanent erosion
control structures.
G. The Director may require any additional information
or data deemed appropriate and/or may impose such conditions thereto
as may be deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions
of this bylaw and regulations for the preservation of public health
and safety.
H. An attached vicinity map showing the location of the
site in relationship to the surrounding area's watercourses, water
bodies and other significant geographic features, and roads and other
significant structures.
I. Suitable contours for the existing and proposed topography.
J. A clear and definite delineation of any areas of vegetation
or tree disturbance. Note all vegetation that is to be removed and
all vegetation that is to be saved.
K. A clear and definite delineation of any wetlands,
natural or artificial water storage detention areas, and existing
drainage ditches on the site.
L. A description of construction and stockpile and/or
excess materials removed from the site expected to be stored on-site.
The plan shall include a description of controls to reduce pollutants
from these materials and other waste such as demolition debris, litter
and sanitary wastes. The plan shall include storage practices to minimize
exposure of the materials to stormwater. Discharging of refuse or
other wastes to the MS4, including, but not limited to, discarded
building materials, concrete truck wash out, chemicals, litter and
sanitary wastes is strictly prohibited.
[Amended 2-17-2021 by Bylaw Amendment 21-866]
M. A sequence of construction for the development site,
including stripping and clearing; rough grading; construction of utilities,
infrastructure, and buildings; and final grading and landscaping.
Sequencing shall identify the expected date on which clearing will
begin, the estimated duration of exposure of cleared areas, areas
of clearing, and establishment of permanent vegetation.
A construction project shall be considered in
conformance with this section if construction means and methods have
been effective in preventing soils or other eroded matter from being
deposited onto adjacent properties, rights-of ways, public storm drainage
system, or wetland or watercourse. The design, testing, installation,
and maintenance of soil erosion and sediment control operations and
facilities shall adhere to the standards and specifications contained
in the Massachusetts Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Urban
and Suburban Areas, dated March 1997, as amended, and the Town of
Franklin's Best Development Practice Guidelines, dated November 2001,
as they may be amended from time to time.
