Chapter 250 CONSTRUCTION SITE EROSION CONTROL
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Woodville 8-13-1996 (Ch. 2 of Title 15 of the 1996 Code); amended in its entirety 12-12-2006. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]

The Village Board hereby designates the Building Inspector or Village Clerk-Treasurer or designee to administer and enforce the provisions of this chapter.
Findings. The Village Board finds that runoff from construction sites carries a significant amount of sediment and other pollutants to the waters of the state and the Village of Woodville.
Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to preserve the natural resources, to protect the quality of the waters of the state and Village and to protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of the people to the extent practicable by minimizing the amount of sediment and other pollutants carried by runoff or discharged from construction sites to lakes, streams and wetlands. The Village Board finds that land uses have significantly contributed to the process of soil erosion, runoff, and sediment deposition in waters located within or near the Village. It is therefore declared to be the purpose of this chapter to control and if possible prevent soil erosion and minimize water runoff increases and thereby to preserve the natural resources, control floods, prevent impairment of dams and reservoirs, protect the quality of public waters and wetlands, prevent property damage, preserve wildlife, protect the tax base and protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the Village of Woodville. This chapter is in accordance and consistent with Chapter 525, Zoning, of this Code, so far as practicable.
This chapter applies to the following land disturbing construction activities except as provided under Subsection A(2): a construction site of any size which has land disturbing construction activity.
Notwithstanding the applicability requirements in Subsection A(1), this chapter applies to construction sites of any size that, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, are likely to result in runoff that exceeds the safe capacity of the existing drainage facilities or receiving body of water, that causes undue channel erosion, that increases water pollution by scouring or the transportation of particulate matter or that endangers property or public safety.
Jurisdiction. This chapter applies to land disturbing construction activity on construction sites located within the boundaries and jurisdiction of the Village of Woodville as well as all lands located within the extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction of the Village of Woodville, even if plat approval is not involved.
Agricultural land uses as defined in this chapter and quarries, except where the Village Board, Village Engineer or Building Inspector determines that erosion or runoff from such agricultural or quarry use is likely to occur which will threaten watercourses or other environmentally sensitive areas unless control measures are taken.
Small land disturbing activities such as gardens, minor landscaping modifications and minor repair of sidewalks, paths or driveways, except where the Village Engineer or Building Inspector determines that erosion or runoff is likely to occur which will threaten watercourses or other environmentally sensitive areas unless control measures are taken.
The Building Inspector of the Village of Woodville.
A written description of the number, locations, sizes and other pertinent information of control measures designed to meet the requirements of this chapter submitted by the applicant for review and approval by the Building Inspector and/or Village Engineer.
Those activities where the land disturbance covers one or more acres, where a subdivision (as defined by Ch. 236, Wis. Stats.) is created, or where the Village Board, Plan Commission, Village Engineer or Building Inspector determines that special circumstances due to topography, proximity to watercourses or relation to sensitive environmental areas make the disturbance a major one.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, excluding, however, any such day officially observed by the Village as a legal holiday. Also referred to as "business day."
All control measures required to comply with this chapter shall be measures based on accepted design criteria, standards and specifications periodically established by the United States Natural Resources Conservation Service and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the technical standards identified or developed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources under Subchapter V of Ch. NR 151, Wis. Adm. Code, or those otherwise identified as acceptable by the Building Inspector or Village Engineer. Where design criteria, standards or specifications conflict, the most restrictive provisions shall apply.
Responsible party. The responsible party shall implement an erosion and sediment control plan if necessary under § 250-3, developed in accordance with § 250-8, that incorporates the requirements of this section.
Notwithstanding Subsection B(1), if BMPs cannot be designed and implemented to reduce the sediment load by 80% on an average annual basis, the plan shall include a written and site-specific explanation as to why the eight-percent reduction goal is not attainable, and the sediment load shall be reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
Alternative requirements. The Village Building Inspector and the Village Engineer may establish an erosion and sediment control plan more stringent than that set forth in this section if the Village Building Inspector determines that an added level of protection is needed for sensitive resources.
An erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared and submitted to the Village Engineer.
The erosion and sediment control plan shall be designed to meet the performance standards in § 250-7 and other requirements of this chapter.
Description of structural practices to divert flow away from exposed soils, store flows or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from the site. Unless otherwise specifically approved in writing by the Village Engineer, structural measures shall be installed on upland soils.
The following exceptions apply to this Subsection A: owners, builders and developers of single-family (R-1) and duplex homes (R-2) on land less than one acre shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter, with the exception that all provisions of §§ 250-5 through 250-7 are to be met.
Erosion and sediment control plan statement. For each construction site identified under § 250-3A(3), an erosion and sediment control plan statement shall be prepared. This statement shall be submitted to the Village Engineer. The control plan statement shall briefly describe the site, including a site map. Further, it shall also include the best management practices that will be used to meet the requirements of this chapter, including the site development schedule. The following exceptions apply to this Subsection B: owners, builders and developers of single-family (R-1) and duplex homes (R-2) on land less than one acre shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter, with the exception that all provisions of §§ 250-5 through 250-7 are to be met.
The Village Engineer notifies the applicant of changes needed in the plan.
Permit required. No responsible party may commence a land disturbing construction activity subject to this chapter without receiving prior approval of an erosion and sediment control plan for the site and a permit from the Village Building Inspector.
Permit application and fees. At least one responsible party desiring to undertake a land disturbing construction activity subject to this chapter shall submit an application for a permit and an erosion and sediment control plan that meets the requirements of this section and shall pay an application fee established by the Village Board to the Village Building Inspector. By submitting an application, the applicant is authorizing the Village Building Inspector and Village Engineer to enter the site to obtain information required for the review of the erosion and sediment control plan.
Review and approval of permit application. The Village Building Inspector shall review any permit application that is submitted with an erosion and sediment control plan and the required fee. The following approval procedure shall be used:
Within 30 business days of the receipt of a complete permit application, as required by Subsection D(1), the Village Building Inspector shall inform the applicant whether the application and plan are approved or disapproved based on the requirements of this chapter.
If the permit application and plan are approved, the Village Building Inspector shall issue the permit.
If the permit application or plan is disapproved, the Village Building Inspector shall state in writing the reasons for disapproval.
The Village Building Inspector may request additional information from the applicant. If additional information is submitted, the Village Building Inspector shall have 15 business days from the date the additional information is received to inform the applicant that the plan is either approved or disapproved.
Failure by the Village Building Inspector to inform the permit applicant of a decision within 30 business days of a required submittal shall be deemed to mean approval of the submittal, and the applicant may proceed as if a permit had been issued.
Surety bond. As a condition of approval and issuance of the permit, the Village Building Inspector may require the applicant to deposit a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit to guarantee a good faith execution of the approved erosion control plan and any permit conditions.
Notify the Village Building Inspector within 48 hours of commencing any land disturbing construction activity.
Notify the Village Building Inspector of completion of any BMPs within 14 days after their installation.
Obtain permission in writing from the Village Building Inspector prior to any modification pursuant to this section of the erosion and sediment control plan.
Allow the Village Building Inspector and Village Engineer to enter the site for the purpose of inspecting compliance with the erosion and sediment control plan or for performing any work necessary to bring the site into compliance with the control plan.
Permit conditions. Permits issued under this section may include conditions established by the Village Building Inspector, in addition to the requirements set forth in Subsection D(4), where needed to assure compliance with the performance standards in § 250-7.
Permit duration. Permits issued under this section shall be valid for a period of 180 days or the length of the building permit or other construction authorizations, whichever is longer, from the date of issuance. The Village Building Inspector may extend the period one or more times for up to an additional 180 days. The Village Building Inspector may require additional BMPs as a condition of the extension if they are necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
The fees referred to in other sections of this chapter shall be established by the Village Board and may from time to time be modified by resolution. A schedule of the fees shall be available for review in the Village Hall.
The Village Engineer, Building Inspector or other designated Village officials shall inspect all major land disturbing activities in order to ensure compliance with the control plan and permit.
If the land disturbing or land development activities are being carried out without a valid permit, i.e., unauthorized, Village inspection officials may enter the land in question pursuant to the special inspection warrant provisions of § 66.0119, Wis. Stats.
A stop-work order may be issued by the Village Engineer, Building Inspector, or their authorized agents, after an inspection, if:
Stop-work orders may be retracted when compliance with this chapter is obtained. The Village Engineer, Village Board, Building Inspector or their designee has the authority to retract a stop-work order for major land disturbing activities; the Building Inspector, Village Engineer and their designees may retract stop-work orders on minor land disturbing activities.
Revocation of permit. Where a stop-work order has been issued in order to obtain compliance with a control plan, the Village may revoke the permit if the permittee does not cease the illegal activity or obtain compliance with the control plan or permit conditions within five days from issuance of the stop-work order.
Village to perform work. Five days after posting a stop-work order, the Village may issue a notice of intent to the permittee or landowner or land user of the Village's intent to perform work necessary to comply with this chapter. Upon receipt of permission from the landowner or pursuant to a court order, the Village Engineer and/or other designated Village officials or agents, as determined by the Village Board, may go on the land and commence the work. The costs of the work performed by the Village, plus interest, shall be billed to the permittee or the landowner or may be recovered out of any security posted for such purpose. In the event that a permittee or landowner otherwise fails to pay the amount due, the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall enter the amount due on the tax rolls and collect it as a special assessment against the property pursuant to § 66.0703, Wis. Stats.
Penalties. Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a forfeiture as provided in § 1-4 of this Code. Each day a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense. Before commencing a forfeiture action, the Village shall issue a written warning to the person believed to be violating this chapter, granting the person two business days in which to remedy the violation and avoid the commencement of a forfeiture action.
By applicant or permittee. Any aggrieved applicant, permittee or land user may appeal any order, decision, determination or inaction of the Village in administering or enforcing this chapter or may apply for a variance from the requirements of this chapter. A filing fee as provided in § 250-9 must accompany the appeal or variance request. Appeal or variance requests must be submitted in writing, state the grounds for the appeal or variance request, and be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer. Publication and other associated costs will be in addition to this fee and paid by the applicant.
An appeal of any order, decision, determination or inaction of the Village in administering or enforcing this chapter may be commenced upon the filing of a petition signed by 25 adult residents of the Village and payment of the fee as provided in § 250-9 to cover the cost of the appeal.
The appeal must be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer and shall state written grounds for the appeal. A copy of any citizen appeal shall be delivered or mailed to the applicant or permittee by the Village Clerk-Treasurer within five business days of its filing with the Village. The filing of a citizen appeal, by itself, does not prohibit the commencement or continuation of any work or activity.
Appeals. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that there is error in any order, decision or determination made by Village officials in administering this chapter. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall use the rules, procedures, duties and powers authorized by Village ordinance and statute for the Zoning Board of Appeals in hearing and deciding appeals and authorizing variances. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear and decide within 30 days of receipt of the written request and payment of the appeal fee, unless an extension is agreed upon by the appellant and the Zoning Board of Appeals. The procedures utilized by the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be as prescribed in Chapter 525, Zoning.
Enforcement not stayed. The filing of an appeal or variance does not preclude the Village from commencing or continuing any of the enforcement actions set forth herein or a forfeiture proceeding set forth in this chapter, unless the Village Board specifically agrees to stay such enforcement.
