Notify all contractors and other entities (including utility crews, City or County employees or their agents) that will perform work at the site of the existence of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and what actions or precautions shall be taken while on site to minimize the potential for erosion and the potential for damaging any best management practices (BMP);
Determine the need for and establish training programs to ensure that all site workers have been trained, at a minimum, in performing erosion control, material handling and storage and housekeeping;
[R.O. 2008 §24-32(b); Ord. No. 5165 §3, 12-13-2010]
General Design. The design of erosion and sediment controls required for land disturbance activities shall comply with the following minimum requirements:
Cut and fill slopes shall be no greater than 3:1 except as approved by the Department of Public Works to meet other community or environmental objectives. All excavation, grading or filling shall have a finished grade not to exceed a 3:1 slope (thirty-three percent (33%)). Steeper grades may be approved by the Director of Public Works if the excavation is through rock or if the excavation or the fill is adequately protected (a designed head wall or toe wall may be required). Turf reinforce mattresses (TRM), rock slopes and other best management practices (BMP) could be utilized for slopes in excess of 3:1, but must be approved by a qualified geotechnical engineer hired by the developer and approved by the City prior to and/or during installation. Retaining walls that exceed a height of forty-two (42) inches shall require the construction of safety guards as identified in the appropriate Sections(s) of the adopted City Building Codes and must be approved by the City Building Department. Permanent safety guards shall be constructed in accordance with the appropriate Section(s) of the adopted City Building Codes (latest edition). Also, the following water quality issues as a reference can be used: Protecting Water Quality - A Field Guide to Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Best Management Practices for Development Sites in Missouri.
Phasing shall be required on all sites disturbing greater than thirty (30) acres of land. The size of each phase will be established by the Department of Public Works at the time of plan review for the issuance of a major land disturbance permit. Phasing should identify the expected date on which clearing will begin, the estimated duration of exposure of cleared areas and the sequence of clearing, installation of temporary sediment control measures, installation of storm drainage, paving streets and parking areas and establishment of temporary and permanent vegetative cover. The Director of the Department of Public Works may waive specific requirements for the content of submissions upon finding that the information submitted is sufficient to show that the work will comply with the objective and principles of these regulations.
If seeding or another vegetative erosion control method is used, it shall become established within two (2) weeks or the site shall be reseeded or a non-vegetative option employed. Where natural vegetation is removed during grading, vegetation shall be re-established in such a density, seventy-five percent (75%) vegetative cover of area disturbed, as to prevent erosion. Permanent type grasses shall be established as soon as possible or during the next seeding period after grading has been completed. When grading operations are completed or suspended for more than thirty (30) days, permanent grass must be established at sufficient density, fifty percent (50%) to seventy-five percent (75%) vegetative cover, to provide erosion control on the site. Between permanent grass seeding periods, temporary cover shall be provided according to the Director of Public Works' recommendations. All finished grades (areas not to be disturbed by future improvements) in excess of twenty percent (20%) slopes (5:1) shall be mulched and tacked as prescribed in Appendix A to this Chapter 420.
Techniques shall be employed to ensure stabilization on steep slopes and in drainage ways. Provisions shall be made to accommodate the increased runoff caused by changed soil and surface conditions during and after grading. Unvegetated open channels shall be designed so that gradients result in velocities of two (2) fps (feet per second) or less. Open channels with velocities more than two (2) fps and less than five (5) fps shall be established in permanent vegetation by use of commercial erosion control blankets or lined with rock riprap or concrete or other suitable materials as approved by the Director of Public Works. Detention basins, diversions or other appropriate structures shall be constructed to prevent velocities above five (5) fps. (Refer to Figures 1 through 21.)
Techniques shall be employed to divert upland runoff past disturbed slopes. The adjoining ground to development sites (lots) shall be provided with protection from accelerated and increased surface water, silt from erosion and any other consequences of erosion. Runoff water from developed areas (parking lots, paved sites and buildings) above the area to be developed shall be directed to diversions, detention basins, concrete gutters and/or underground outlet systems. Sufficiently anchored straw bales may be temporarily substituted with the approval of the Director of Public Works. (Refer to Figures 1 through 21.) All lots shall be seeded and mulched at the rates defined in Appendix A to this Chapter 420 or sodded before an occupancy permit shall be issued except that a temporary occupancy permit may be issued by the Building Department in cases of undue hardship because of unfavorable ground conditions.
Settling basins shall be provided for each drainage area within ten (10) or more acres disturbed at one (1) time and shall be sized to contain five-tenths (0.5) inch of sediment from the drainage area and be able to contain a 2-year, 24-hour storm. If the provision of a basin of this size is impractical, other similarly effective best management practices (BMP), as evaluated and specified in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), shall be provided.
Settling basins shall be designed in a manner that allows adaptation to provide long-term stormwater management as required by the department(s) having enforcement authority and responsibilities described in this Code.
Development along natural watercourses shall have residential lot lines, commercial or industrial improvements, parking areas or driveways set back a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet from the top of the existing stream bank. The watercourse shall be maintained and made the responsibility of the subdivision trustees or, in the case of a site plan, by the property owner. Permanent vegetation shall be left intact. Variances will include designed stream bank erosion control measures and shall be approved by the Director of Public Works. FEMA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers guidelines shall be followed where applicable regarding site development areas designated as floodplains and wetlands.
Spill prevention and control facilities for materials such as paint, solvents, petroleum products, chemicals, toxic or hazardous substances, substances regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and any wastes generated from the use of such materials and substances including their containers. Any containment systems employed to meet this requirement shall be constructed of materials compatible with the substances contained and shall be adequate to protect both surface and ground water.
Collection and disposal of discarded building materials and other construction site wastes including those listed in Subsection (F)(1) above.
[R.O. 2008 §24-32(c); Ord. No. 5043 §3, 7-14-2008]
Department Of Public Works — General. The Department of Public Works shall make inspections as herein required and shall either approve that portion of the work completed or shall notify the permit holder wherein the work fails to comply with this Code and applicable permits and plans. Plans for land disturbance, stripping, excavating and filling work bearing the stamp of approval of the City shall be maintained at the site during the progress of the work. To obtain inspections, a permit holder shall notify the Department of Public Works at least two (2) working days before the following:
Extra Inspections. In addition to the inspections otherwise required, the Department of Public Works is authorized to perform and charge fees for extra inspections or reinspections which in its judgment are reasonably necessary due to non-compliance with the requirements of this Code or work not being ready or accessible for inspection when requested.
All erosion and sediment control facilities shall be inspected following each rainstorm causing significant runoff or being of sufficient intensity or duration as to stop construction or grading progress. As a result of such inspections or any time the following are found:
Excess sediment has accumulated in silt control devices;
Sediment or erosion control devices have been damaged;
Obvious gullies or sediment deposits have formed on the downstream side of control devices; or
Sediment has been carried beyond the working site. The devices shall be cleaned of sediment, repaired if damaged and restored to serviceable conditions.
Permit Holder Inspection And Report Responsibilities — Major Land Disturbances. The holder of a major land disturbance permit or his/her agent shall cause regular inspections of land disturbance sites by a qualified special inspector. Inspections shall include all erosion and sediment and other pollutant control measures, outfalls and off-site receiving waters in accordance with the inspection schedule outlined in the approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Inspections must be scheduled at least once per week and no later than seventy-two (72) hours after heavy rain. The purpose of such inspections will be to ensure proper installation, operation and maintenance of best management practices and to determine the overall effectiveness of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and the need for additional control measures. All inspections shall be documented in written form on weekly reports with copies submitted to the Department of Public Works at the time interval specified in the permit. Permit holder inspection reports must include the following minimum information:
Observations relative to the effectiveness of the best management practices;
Verification Of Permit Holder's Reports. The Department of Public Works may make extra inspections as deemed necessary to ensure the validity of the reports filed under Subsection (D) of this Code or to otherwise ensure proper installation, operation and maintenance of stormwater best management practices and to determine the overall effectiveness of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and the need for additional control measures.
