2016-01. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
All construction activity, public or private, including work performed by the Town of North Brentwood, which involves the clearing, grading, or movement of earth within any dedicated public street right-of-way in the Town, shall be covered under this chapter and Chapter 282, Streets and Sidewalks, of this Code.
B.
This chapter does not apply to normal street repairs or small construction
projects in which the amount of disturbed area lying within a public
street right-of-way is less than 5,000 square feet, and/or 100 cubic
yards.
The soil conservation standards of Prince George's County,
regulating similar clearing, grading and construction operations within
the county, are hereby made effective within the Town of North Brentwood
to regulate construction within any public street right-of-way.
A.
Any person, partnership, firm, or corporation, to whom a Town permit
may be issued for construction within a public street right-of-way,
shall submit as part of their permit application, two copies of an
erosion and sediment control plan, that has been approved by the Prince
George's County Soil Conservation District.
B.
Permits issued for such construction shall specify that the work
must conform in all respects to the approved erosion and sediment
control plan.
C.
All such construction done by the Town of North Brentwood shall not
commence until an approved erosion and sediment control plan has been
approved by the Prince George's County Soil Conservation District,
and all work shall conform to said plan.
A.
All construction projects for which an erosion and sediment control
plan is required pursuant to this chapter shall be inspected periodically
by an Engineer to determine compliance with said plan.
B.
The Engineer shall immediately notify the permittee in writing of
any exceptions to the approved plan noted in his inspection, and shall
specify a reasonable number of days in which the work must be corrected
to conform with the plan. A final inspection shall then be made and
a report of same referred to the Prince George's Soil Conservation
District.
C.
In addition to any other permit fees and charges, the Town may charge
an additional fee in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of said
inspection by the Engineer.
Upon failure to take the directed corrective action within the
time specified by the Engineer or designee, the permittee shall be
deemed to be in violation of this chapter. Each day a violation continues
uncorrected shall be deemed a separate offense.
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, firm, or corporation
to violate any of the provisions of this chapter, which are hereby
declared by the Council to be municipal infractions, and shall be
subject to pay a fine of $500 for each offense. Each day that a violation
continues after assessment of the initial fine shall constitute a
separate or repeat offense. Payment of the fines without correction
of violation(s) does not constitute abatement of the violation(s).
