Identify Critical Areas - On-site areas which are subject to severe <br />Erosion, and off-site areas which are especially vulnerable to <br />damage from Erosion and/or Sedimentation, are to be identified <br />and receive special attention. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Limit Time of Exposure - All Land-Disturbing Activity is to be <br />planned and conducted to limit exposure to the shortest feasible <br />time. <br /> <br />Limit Exposed Areas - All Land-Disturbing Activity is to be <br />planned and conducted to minimize the size of the area to be <br />exposed at any one time. <br /> <br />eo <br /> <br />Control Surface Water - Surface water runoff originating upgrade of <br />exposed areas should be controlled to reduce Erosion and Sediment loss <br />during the period of exposure. <br /> <br />fo <br /> <br />Control Sedimentation - All Land-Disturbing Activity is to be planned <br />and conducted so as to prevent off-site Sedimentation damage. <br /> <br />Manage Storm Water Runoff - When the increase in the Velocity of <br />Storm Water Runoff resulting from a Land-Disturbing Activity is <br />sufficient to cause Accelerated Erosion of the receiving watercourse, <br />Plans are to include measures to control the Velocity to the point of <br />discharge so as to minimize Accelerated Erosion of the site and increased <br />Sedimentation of the stream. <br /> <br />Section 7 - Mandatory Standards for Land-Disturbing Activity <br /> <br /> No Land-Disturbing Activity subject to the control of this Ordinance shall be <br />Undertaken except in accordance with the following mandatory standard: <br /> <br />a. Buffer Zone <br /> <br />No Land-Disturbing Activity during periods of construction or <br />improvement to land shall be permitted within the Buffer Zone, as <br />defined below. Visible Siltation must not discharge into the Buffer <br />Zone. This subdivision shall not apply to a Land-Disturbing <br />Activity in connection with the construction of facilities to be <br />located on, over, or under a lake or natural watercourse. <br /> <br />Unless otherwise provided, the width of a Buffer Zone begins and <br />is measured five feet from the edge of the top of the bank of the <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
