[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Trempealeau 12-2-1987 as Title 10, Ch. 5, of the 1987 Code; amended in its entirety
at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
This chapter is adopted under the authority granted by § 61.354,
Wis. Stats. This chapter supersedes all provisions of an ordinance
previously enacted under § 61.35, Wis. Stats., that relate
to construction site erosion control. Except as otherwise specified
in § 61.354, Wis. Stats., § 61.35, Wis. Stats.,
applies to this chapter and to any amendments to this chapter.
B.
The provisions of this chapter are deemed not to limit any other
lawful regulatory powers of the same governing body.
C.
The Village Board hereby designates the Village Administrator to
administer and enforce the provisions of this chapter. The Village
Administrator is authorized to consult with the Village Engineer on
any matter regarding the Administrator's authority under this
chapter.
D.
The requirements of this chapter do not preempt more stringent erosion
and sediment control requirements that may be imposed by any of the
following:
(1)
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources administrative rules, permits
or approvals, including those authorized under §§ 281.16
and 283.33, Wis. Stats.
(2)
Targeted nonagricultural performance standards promulgated in rules
by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources under § NR
151.004, Wis. Adm. Code.
The Village Board acknowledges that runoff from land disturbing
construction activity carries a significant amount of sediment and
other pollutants to the waters of the state in the Village of Trempealeau.
It is the purpose of this chapter to maintain safe and healthful
conditions; prevent and control water pollution; prevent and control
soil erosion and sediment discharge; protect spawning grounds, fish
and aquatic life; control building sites, placement of structures
and land uses; preserve ground cover and scenic beauty; and promote
sound economic growth by minimizing the amount of sediment and other
pollutants carried by runoff or discharged from land disturbing construction
activity to waters of the state in the Village of Trempealeau.
A.
Applicability.
(2)
This chapter does not apply to the following:
(a)
Transportation facilities, except transportation facility construction
projects that are part of a larger common plan of development, such
as local roads within a residential or industrial development.
(b)
A construction project that is exempted by federal statutes
or regulations from the requirement to have a national pollutant discharge
elimination system permit issued under Chapter 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 122, for land disturbing construction activity.
(c)
Nonpoint discharges from agricultural facilities and practices.
(d)
Nonpoint discharges from silviculture activities.
(e)
Routine maintenance for project sites that have less than five
acres of land disturbance if performed to maintain the original line
and grade, hydraulic capacity or original purpose of the facility.
(3)
Notwithstanding the applicability requirements in Subsection A(1), this chapter applies to construction sites of any size that, as determined by the Village Administrator, are likely to result in runoff that exceeds the safe capacity of the existing drainage facilities or receiving body of water, that causes undue channel erosion, or that increases water pollution by scouring or transporting of particulate.
B.
Jurisdiction. This chapter applies to land disturbing construction
activity on lands within the boundaries and jurisdiction of the Village
of Trempealeau. Trempealeau County has adopted an Erosion and Sediment
Control Ordinance that is more restrictive than this chapter, so under
