City of Arden Hills Chapter 15 Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance <br /> stream corridors to manage storm water at its source. Other practices include <br /> clustering and concentrating development,minimizing disturbed areas,and reducing <br /> the size of impervious areas. <br /> B. Structural BMP: a physical device that is typically designed and constructed to trap <br /> or filter pollutants from runoff, or reduce runoff velocities. <br /> Subd. 2 Bluff. A topographic feature such as a hill, cliff, or embankment having the <br /> following characteristics (an area with an average slope of less than 18 percent over a <br /> distance for 50 feet or more shall not be considered part of the bluff): <br /> A. Part or all of the topographic feature is located in a shoreland area; <br /> B. The slope rises at least twenty five (25) feet above the ordinary high water level of <br /> the waterbody; <br /> C. The grade of the slope from the toe,or bottom,of the bluff to a point twenty five(25) <br /> feet or more above the ordinary high water level averages thirty percent (30%) or <br /> greater; and <br /> D. The slope must drain toward the waterbody. <br /> Subd. 3 Certificate of Completion. The certificate issued after the final inspection of the <br /> site has been completed,temporary erosion control has been removed and the site has been <br /> fully restored. <br /> Subd. 4 Clearing and grubbing. The cutting and removal of trees, shrubs, bushes, <br /> windfalls and other vegetation including removal of stumps,roots,and other remains in the <br /> designated areas. <br /> Subd. 5 Erosion. Any process that wears away the surface of the land by the action of <br /> water,wind,ice,gravity and/or land disturbance activities. Erosion can be accelerated by the <br /> activities of man and nature. <br /> Subd. 6 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan(Plan) is a plan which includes a set of best <br /> management practices or equivalent measures designed to control surface runoff and erosion <br /> and to retain sediment on a particular site during the period in which pre-construction and <br /> construction related land disturbances, fills, and soil storage occur, and before final <br /> improvements are completed, all in accordance with the specific requirements set forth in <br /> Section 1520. This Plan shall also include permanent measures and Best Management <br /> Practices to control post-construction surface runoff and sediment. <br /> Subd. 7 Erosion and sediment control practice specifications and erosion and sediment <br /> control practices. The management procedures, techniques, and methods to control soil <br /> erosion and sedimentation as officially adopted by the City. <br /> 1500 - 2 <br />
