Activities requiring certified plan.
A soil erosion and sediment control plan shall be submitted with any application for development when the disturbed area of such development is cumulatively more than 1/2 acre.
Exemptions.
A single-family dwelling that is not a part of a subdivision of land shall be exempt from these soil erosion and sediment control regulations. Such exemption shall not affect the applicability of §
177-29.
Erosion and sediment control plan.
A. To be eligible for certification, a soil erosion and sediment control plan shall contain proper provisions to adequately control accelerated erosion and sedimentation and reduce the danger from stormwater runoff on and from the proposed site based on the best available technology. Such principles, methods and practices necessary for certification are found in the Connecticut Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (1985), as amended. Alternative principles, methods and practices may be used with prior approval of the Director of Community Development. Such plans shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer, who shall affix his or her seal thereto.
B. Said plan shall contain but not be limited to:
(1) A narrative describing:
(a) The development.
(b) The schedule for grading and construction activities, including:
[1] Start and completion dates.
[2] Sequence of grading and construction activities.
[3] Sequence for installation and/or application of soil erosion and sediment control measures.
[4] Sequence for final stabilization of the project site.
(c) The design criteria for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(d) The construction details for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(e) The installation and/or application procedures for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(f) The operations and maintenance program for proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities, including, without limitation, a statement of the obligation to deal with unforeseen erosion, sedimentation and stormwater contingencies and problems as they arise.
(2) A site plan map at a sufficient scale to show:
(a) The location of the proposed development and adjacent and downstream properties.
(b) The existing and proposed topography, including soil types, wetlands, watercourses and water bodies.
(c) The existing structures on the project site, if any.
(d) The proposed area alterations, including cleared, excavated, filled or graded areas, and proposed structures, utilities, roads and, if applicable, new property lines.
(e) The location of and design details for all proposed soil erosion and sediment control measures and stormwater management facilities.
(f) The sequence of grading and construction activities.
(g) The sequence for installation and/or application of soil erosion and sediment control measures.
(h) The sequence for final stabilization of the development site.
(3) Any other information deemed necessary and appropriate by the applicant or requested by the Director of Community Development.
