A. 
Title. These regulations shall be known as the "Land Disturbance Code" of the City of Green Park, Missouri, hereinafter referred to as "this code".
B. 
Introduction. On construction or land disturbance sites, 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 necessitate 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.
C. 
Purpose. The purpose of this code is to safeguard persons, protect property and prevent damage to the environment in the City. This code 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.
D. 
Scope. This code provides for the safety, health and welfare of the public by regulating and controlling the design, construction, use and maintenance of any development or other activity that disturbs land surfaces or results in the movement of earth in the City.
[Ord. No. 445 §1, 3-21-2005]

a. 
The City shall issue a stop work order.
b. 
The City shall notify the violator of his/her assessment regarding the appropriate penalty amount to be assessed against the violator, which shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each day that work occurs without a permit.

(1) 
If the Building Commission determines that a permit was required, an appropriate penalty amount shall be assessed, taking into account the same considerations as noted above. The stop work order shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the penalty amount is paid and the violator has complied with all other regulations pertaining to the issuance of permits.
(2) 
If the Building Commission determines that no permit was required, the City shall immediately cancel the stop work order.
