The certificate issued after the final inspection of the site has been completed, temporary erosion control has been removed and the site has been fully restored. ∙ Clearing and grubbing. The cutting and removal of trees, shrubs, bushes, windfalls and other vegetation including removal of stumps, roots, and other remains in the designated areas. ∙ Erosion. Any process that wears away the surface of the land by the action of water, wind, ice, gravity and/or land disturbance activities. Erosion can be accelerated by the activities of man and nature. ∙ Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (Plan) is a plan which includes a set of best management practices or equivalent measures designed to control surface runoff and erosion and to retain sediment on a particular site during the period in which pre-construction and construction related land disturbances, fills, and soil storage occur, and before final improvements are completed, all in accordance with the specific requirements set forth in Section 1520. This Plan shall also include permanent measures and Best Management Practices to control post-construction surface runoff and sediment. ∙ Erosion and sediment control practice specifications and erosion and sediment control practices. The management procedures, techniques, and methods to control soil erosion and sedimentation as officially adopted by the City. ∙ Excavation. The mechanical removal of earth material. ∙ Fill. The deposit of soil or other earth materials placed by artificial means. ∙ General Storm Water Permit. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) construction storm water permit covering anyone conducting a land disturbing activity which disturbs one (1) or more acres of total land area. ∙ Grading. Excavation or fill of material, including the resulting conditions thereof. ∙ Land Disturbance Activity. Any land change greater than 5,000 square feet or 50 cubic yards, or land change on a parcel of land located within a shoreland area or adjacent to a surface water that may result in soil erosion from wind, water and/or ice and the movement of sediments into or upon waters or lands of the city, including but not limited to construction, clearing and grubbing, grading, excavating, transporting and filling of land. Land Disturbance Activity does not mean the following: ∙ Minor land disturbance activities such as home gardens and an individual's home landscaping, repairs and maintenance work; ∙ Additions or modifications to existing single-family dwellings or accessory structures that will result in creating under 2,500 square feet of exposed soil and/or impervious surface and less than 50 cubic yards in a shoreland area; ∙ Construction, installation and maintenance of electric, telephone, and cable television utility lines or individual service connection to these utilities, except where a minimum of 5,000 square feet of land disturbance can be anticipated; ∙ Tilling, planting or harvesting of agricultural, horticultural, or silvicultural crops; Dr a f t 11 / 2 0 / 2 0 1 7
