A soil erosion and sediment control plan shall
be submitted with any application for development when the disturbed
areas of such development total, cumulatively, more than 1/2 acre.
Only a single-family dwelling that is not a part of a subdivision
of land shall be exempt from the submission of a soil erosion and
sediment control plan.
To be eligible for certification, a soil erosion
and sediment control plan shall contain provisions to adequately control
accelerated erosion and sedimentation and reduce the danger from stormwater
runoff on the proposed site based on the best available technology.
Such principles, methods and practices necessary for certification
are found in the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment
Control (1985), as amended. Alternative principles, methods and practices
may be used with prior approval of the Commission.
Said plan shall contain, but is not limited
to:
A. A narrative describing:
(2)
The schedule for grading and construction activities,
including:
(a)
Start and completion dates.
(b)
Sequence of grading and construction activities.
(c)
Sequence for installation and/or application
of soil erosion and sediment control measures.
(d)
Sequence for final stabilization of the project
site.
(3)
The design criteria for proposed soil erosion
and sediment control measures.
(4)
The construction details for proposed soil erosion
and sediment control measures.
(5)
The installation and/or application procedures
for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures.
(6)
The operations and maintenance program for proposed
soil erosion and sediment control measures.
B. A site plan map that is in compliance with Article
XVIII of these zoning regulations.
C. Any other information deemed necessary and appropriate
by the Commission or its designated agent.
Inspections shall be made by the Commission
or its designated agent during development to ensure compliance with
the certified plan and that control measures and facilities are properly
installed and maintained.
Enforcement of the soil erosion and sediment
control regulations shall be the responsibility of the Planning and
Zoning Commission or its designated agent.
Failure to properly install and/or maintain
any erosion and sediment control measure may result in the issuance
of a stop-work order until the problem is satisfactorily corrected.
