A soil erosion and sediment control plan shall
be submitted with any application for development when the disturbed
area of such development is cumulatively more than 1/2 acre.
A.
To be eligible for certification, a soil erosion and
sediment control plan shall contain proper provisions to adequately
control accelerated erosion and sedimentation and reduce the danger
from stormwater runoff on the proposed site based on the best available
technology. Such principles, methods and practices necessary for certification
are found in the "2002 Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control," as amended.
B.
Said soil erosion and sediment control plan shall
include, but not be limited to:
(1)
A narrative describing:
(a)
The development.
(b)
The schedule for grading and construction activities
including;
(c)
The design criteria for proposed soil erosion
and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(d)
The construction details for proposed soil erosion
and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(e)
The installation and/or application procedures
for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater
management facilities.
(f)
The operations and maintenance program for proposed
soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management
facilities.
(2)
A site plan at a sufficient scale to show the following:
(a)
The location of the proposed development and
adjacent properties.
(b)
The existing and proposed topography, including
soil types, wetlands, watercourses and water bodies.
(c)
The existing structures on the project site,
if any.
(d)
The proposed area alterations, including cleared,
excavated, filled or graded areas and proposed structures, utilities,
roads and, if applicable, new property lines.
(e)
The location of and design details for all proposed
soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management
facilities.
(f)
The sequence of grading and construction activities.
(g)
The sequence for installation and/or application
of soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management
facilities.
(h)
The sequence for final stabilization of the
development site.
(3)
Any other information deemed necessary and appropriate
by the applicant or requested by the Agency or its Designated Agent.
A.
The Agency shall either certify that the soil erosion
and sediment control plan, as submitted, complies with the requirements
and objectives of this regulation or deny certification when the soil
erosion and sediment control plan does not comply with these regulations.
Nothing in these regulations shall be construed as extending the time
limits for the approval of any application under Chapters 124, 124A
or 126 of the General Statutes.
B.
Prior to certification, any soil erosion and sediment
control plan submitted to the municipality may be reviewed by the
County Soil and Water Conservation District, which may make recommendation
concerning such plan, provided that such review shall be completed
within 30 days of the receipt of such plan.
A.
Conditions relating to soil erosion and sediment control.
Site development shall not begin unless the soil erosion and sediment
control plan is certified and the control measures and facilities
in the certified soil erosion and sediment control plan which are
scheduled for installation prior to site development are installed
and functional. If any such site development is begun prior to the
time that such pre-development control measures and facilities as
required under such certified plan are installed and functional and
such site development continues after written notice is provided to
the permittee under such certified plan or such permittee's designated
agent advising of the failure to comply with the certified plan, the
Agency may suspend or revoke its certification of such certified plan.
B.
Planned soil erosion and sediment control measures
and facilities shall be installed as scheduled according to the certified
soil erosion and sediment control plan.
C.
All control measures and facilities shall be maintained
in maintained in effective condition to ensure the compliance of the
certified soil erosion and sediment control plan.
Inspections may be made by the Agency or its
designated agent during development to ensure compliance with the
certified soil erosion and sediment control plan and that control
measures and facilities are properly performed or installed and maintained.
The Agency, the Designated Agent, or and any agent designated by the
Agency or Agent to make inspections shall be allowed to access the
project site at any time.
A.
Minor amendments to a certified soil erosion and sediment
control plan may be approved by the Agency's designated agent, provided
that the proposed amendment:
(1)
Involves the replacement of inadequate or failed control
materials or devices with those determined to be more effective by
the designated agent.
(2)
Does not adversely change an approved restoration
schedule.
(3)
Is not a substantial redesign of the soil erosion
and sediment control plan or narrative, in the Designated Agent's
opinion.
B.
The permittee or the Agency's designated agent may
petition the Agency for substantial amendments to the certified soil
erosion and sediment control plan.

To verify "certification," as defined in soil
erosion and sediment control regulations:
|
|
It is hereby certified that this soil erosion and sediment control plan is in compliance with §§ 143-22, 143-24 and 143-25 of the Wethersfield Subdivision Regulations and § 6.6 of the Wethersfield Zoning Regulations, as applicable, and that the minimum standards established in the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control are satisfied.

The permittee under this plan is responsible
for ensuring compliance with this plan. The Town of Wethersfield shall
not be held liable for improper installation, lack of maintenance
or other neglect on behalf of the permittee.
