[Ord. No. 1100 §I, 3-20-2006]
A. 
During the construction process, soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. Eroded soil endangers water resources by reducing water quality and causing the siltation of aquatic habitat for fish and other desirable species. Deposits of eroded soil also necessitates maintenance of sewers and ditches and the dredging of lakes. In addition, clearing and grading during construction cause the loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat. Construction activities also utilize materials and generate wastes which, if not properly controlled, can pollute receiving waters.
B. 
The purpose of this Chapter is to safeguard persons, protect property and prevent damage to the environment in the City of Breckenridge Hills. This Chapter will also promote the public welfare by guiding, regulating and controlling the design, construction, use and maintenance of any development or other activity that disturbs or breaks the topsoil or results in the movement of earth on land in the City of Breckenridge Hills.

Purpose. The purpose of this guidance manual is to provide direction to municipal officials and staff for implementing the provisions of municipal ordinances pertaining to regulation of land disturbance activities and related stormwater controls. This guidance will help promote efficient plan reviews and processing of permit applications so as to benefit the community and to ensure compliance with the terms of the City of Breckenridge Hills State issued MS4 NPDES permit. Certain requirements of Section 4.2.4 of the MS4 permit, as referenced below, are addressed within this guidance manual.
B. 
General Provisions. The Department of Public Works shall be responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance No. 1100. The Department of Public Works shall review all permit applications submitted pursuant to that ordinance and shall issue permits with such conditions as deemed appropriate to enable compliance with the grading ordinance and other related ordinances. The Department shall conduct all required inspections of permitted sites and shall be responsible for initiating enforcement actions when violations are identified.
Persons who intend to disturb land within Breckenridge Hills will be reminded, at the time of initial contact with municipal officials, of the need to obtain a separate land disturbance permit from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for any construction or land disturbance activity that will result in disturbance of one (1) acre or more of land. Persons intending to disturb such acreage must be informed that site work may not commence until the State permit has been obtained. Any municipal permit, for sites one (1) acre or above, will also contain this requirement as a permit condition.
C. 
Water Quality Considerations (See Section 4.2.4.2.4 Of The MS4 Permit). During review of site plans, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and other documents submitted as part of the permit application, Department staff shall consider the potential water quality impacts of the project both during the construction/land disturbance phase and after site development is fully complete. Department staff should consider the provisions within the Missouri Water Quality Standards, the Missouri Impaired Waters list (303(d) list), the Federal Endangered Species Act, the National Historic Preservation Act and proximity to water bodies identified by MDNR as "Valuable Resource Waters" (see attached listing). To the maximum extent practicable under State and local laws, the Department shall include such conditions in permits as are appropriate to prevent or minimize impacts on water quality. Department staff shall solicit comments or advice, when deemed appropriate, from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Soil and Water Conservation District and such other State and national regulatory bodies as may have expertise related to a specific project or area.
D. 
Public Inquiries/Complaints (See Section 4.2.4.2.5 Of The MS4 Permit). The Department of Public Works shall maintain a system for recording and tracking inquiries and complaints received from the public regarding proposed and active land disturbance sites within Breckenridge Hills. The following information shall be logged, on a standard form, for each inquiry/complaint:
1. 
Date;
2. 
Name, address and telephone number of the inquiring/complaining party;
3. 
Nature of inquiry/complaint, including all pertinent information related thereto; and
4. 
Follow up action. If an inspection is performed, all information regarding the date and time, inspector's name, findings and any mitigation or enforcement actions initiated shall be recorded.
All inquiries or complaints must be logged. However, it is up to the sole discretion of the Department of Public Works, with such consultation with other departments or agencies as may be deemed appropriate, as to whether any follow up action is deemed appropriate. If no follow up action is deemed necessary, a short explanation shall be recorded on the standard inquiry form.
E. 
Inspections/Reports (See Section 4.2.4.2.6 Of The MS4 Permit). The Department of Public Works shall inspect each permitted site at the frequency as necessary to insure compliance with this Chapter and to follow up on public inquiries/complaints or to follow up on previously identified deficiencies. The results of all inspections shall be recorded in written reports and maintained in the project file. Inspections shall be carried out in such a way as to determine whether the site operator is complying with all provisions of the City of Breckenridge Hills permit.
Department staff shall ensure receipt of all site operator notifications and site operator self- inspections as required by the permit. Staff shall take such follow up actions as may be deemed necessary based on the content of received notifications and reports.
F. 
Transfer Of Ownership — Individual Lot Or Lots. City of Breckenridge Hills ordinances require a permit, as well as controls for sediment, erosion and other construction site pollutants for disturbed areas of land in excess of twelve thousand (12,000) square feet disturbed as part of a common plan or sale. That language means the lot(s) when sold to an entity for construction (unless sold to an individual for purposes of building their own private residence) are also subject to ordinance requirements because they are part of the common sale. A current permittee who intends to transfer ownership of a lot or parcel of the overall permitted area is still responsible for the terms of the Breckenridge Hills permit and the SWPPP and erosion control on that site unless the new owner applies for and receives a separate permit for land disturbance activities. If the current permittee is to retain the permit and responsibility for control of sediment and other pollutants at the site, then the owner should obtain a copy of an Individual Lot Certification (ILC) from the lot owner(s). The ILC should be properly completed and signed and retained with the SWPPP.
Entire tract. If the entire tract is sold to a single entity, then the Breckenridge Hills permit shall be terminated and the new owner shall submit an application for a new permit immediately.
G. 
Reference Sources. The staff will provide every permit applicant with the following list of reference and guidance documents which may be employed in development of the SWPPP. For activities requiring State land disturbance permits, the first two (2) documents listed are considered mandatory references for all applicants.
