13.05.060 Erosion and sediment control plans.
(A) An application for an erosion and sediment control permit shall include an erosion and sediment control plan, which contains methods and interim measures to be used during and following construction to prevent or control erosion, prepared in compliance with this chapter.
(B) Approval Standards. An erosion and sediment control plan shall be approved only upon making the following findings:
(1) The erosion and sediment control plan meets the requirements of this chapter.
(2) The erosion and sediment control plan indicates that erosion and sediment control measures will be managed and maintained during and following development. The erosion and sediment control plan indicates that erosion and sediment control measures will remain in place until disturbed soil areas are permanently stabilized by landscaping, grass, approved mulch or other permanent soil stabilizing measures.
(3) On projects where the area of disturbance exceeds one (1) acre, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality requires a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). An SWPPP and Notice of Intent (NOI) may serve the City of Show Low requirement for an erosion control plan provided it complies with this chapter. The SWPPP and NOI must be submitted to the City of Show Low as a part of the plan submittal set.
(C) The erosion and sediment control plan shall be reviewed in conjunction with the requested development approval. If the development does not require additional review, the city may approve or deny the permit with notice of the decision to the applicant.
(D) The city may inspect the development site to determine compliance with the erosion and sediment control plan and permit.
(E) Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan does not constitute an approval of permanent road or drainage design, including but not limited to size and location of roads, pipes, restrictors, channels, retention facilities and utilities. (Ord. No. 2008-14, § 1, 10-21-08. 1976 Code § 20-2-1)
