<br />1520.01 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
<br />Subd. 1 Required. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must be submitted to the PWD
<br />for every project involving a land disturbance activity. No building permit, site plan
<br />approval, subdivision approval, or permit to allow land disturbing activities shall be issued
<br />and no earth disturbing activity shall commence until approval of the Erosion and Sediment
<br />Control Plan.
<br />Projects coordinated by Ramsey County or Mn/DOT do not require a permit; however,
<br />the PWD shall be notified of the project and be provided a copy of the Erosion and
<br />Sediment Control Plan, as well as an estimated schedule for commencement and
<br />completion. The PWD shall notify the designated contact if erosion control measures
<br />should fail or require maintenance with the expectation that the deficiencies will be
<br />corrected.
<br />If no permit has been obtained, a stop work order may be issued on the construction and a
<br />fine may be issued in an amount equal to twice the required permit fee. A completed
<br />Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and permit application shall be submitted before
<br />construction will be allowed to resume.
<br />Obtaining a permit does not exempt the Permittee from obtaining permits required by
<br />other governmental agencies.
