The Village of Bellevue finds 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 Bellevue.
It is the purpose of this chapter to further the maintenance
of safe and healthful conditions; prevent and control water pollution;
prevent and control soil erosion; 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 Bellevue.
