§ 46-57. Minor developments.

All minor developments shall be required to control erosion and sedimentation during construction, to permanently stabilize soil exposed during construction, and to comply with the minor development requirements described herein:

(1)

Construction access route. Construction vehicle access shall be, whenever possible, limited to one route. Access points shall be stabilized with crushed rock, as needed, to minimize the tracking of soils and debris onto public roads.

(2)

Stabilization of denuded area. All exposed soils shall be stabilized by suitable application of BMPs, including but not limited to, sod or other vegetation, mat covering, mulching, or application of compacted ground base material on areas to be paved. All BMPs shall be selected, designed and maintained in accordance with good engineering judgment.

(3)

Protection of adjacent properties. Adjacent properties shall be protected from sediment deposition by appropriate use of vegetative buffer strips, sediment barriers or filters, dikes or mulching, or by a combination of these measures and other appropriate BMPs.

(4)

Maintenance. All erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure continued performance of their intended function.

(5)

Other BMPs. Any adverse effects of increased runoff resulting from land disturbing and/or land development activities shall be controlled by appropriate BMPs.
