[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21A:3-2; Ord. 6PSF-E, 12-17-2014]
Any applicant desiring to engage in a land disturbing activity shall submit to the Director of the Department of Engineering, a separate soil erosion and sediment control plan, in duplicate, for each noncontiguous site.
The applicant may consult with the local Soil Conservation District in the selection of appropriate erosion and sediment control measures and in the development of the plan. A complete soil erosion and sediment control plan shall contain the following items (note that the information required by items a, b, c and d may be entered on a single set of plans, where appropriate):
a. The identity and address of the applicant and of the property owner, if not such applicant; the block and lot number of the site; street address; flood hazard and zoning determinations for the site; and the purpose for which the land disturbing activity is proposed.
b. Survey plans of a scale not greater than one inch equals 10 feet or less than one inch equals 50 feet (that have been prepared by a New Jersey State licensed engineer or land surveyor pursuant to N.J.S. 45:8-1 et seq.) depicting the location and description of existing natural and manmade features on and surrounding the site, including natural ground cover; general topography of the site utilizing contour intervals of one foot where the slope is less than 5% and two feet where the slope exceeds 5%; existing drainage ways, sewers and culverts.
c. Plans of a scale not greater than one inch equals 10 feet or less than one inch equals 50 feet (that have been prepared by a New Jersey State licensed engineer or land surveyor pursuant to N.J.S. 45:8-1 et seq.) depicting proposed changes to the site including the location and description of natural and manmade features to be either retained or provided as a result of the proposed land disturbing activity. As a minimum, such plans shall depict: all alterations and improvements proposed for the site; proposed topography utilizing contour intervals of one foot where slope is less than 5% and two feet when the slope exceeds 5%; proposed ground cover; and proposed drainage facilities including storm water inlets, catch basins, drainage ways, sewers, culverts, storm water retention facilities, etc.
d. Plans of a scale not greater than one inch equals 10 feet or less than one inch equals 50 feet (that have been prepared by a New Jersey State licensed engineer or land surveyor pursuant to N.J.S. 45:8-1 et seq.) depicting proposed measures to be undertaken to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation during the period of the land disturbing activity and after completion of the proposed project.
e. A schedule delineating the installation sequence of planned erosion and sediment control measures as related to progress of the project, including anticipated starting and completion dates and the time period during which each area will be exposed or disturbed. Measures for soil erosion and sediment control shall be in conformance with the standards, which standards shall be kept on file at the Offices of the Department of Engineering and the Soil Conservation District.
f. If soil is to be removed from the site, the amount of soil to be removed, the method to accomplish removal, the place to which the soil will be removed and an authorization and certification for deposition at the site to which it will be delivered.
g. Revisions to the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan as may be required by the Soil Conservation District, the Director of Engineering or the applicant prior to issuance of a permit.
