<br /> ∙ Installation of fence, sign, telephone, and electric poles and other kinds of posts, bollards or poles;
<br />and
<br /> ∙ Emergency work to protect life, limb, or property and emergency repairs. However, if the land
<br />disturbing activity would have required an approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan except for the
<br />emergency, then the land area disturbed shall be shaped and stabilized in accordance with the requirement
<br />of the PWD when applicable.
<br /> ∙ Outfall. The point source where a storm sewer system discharges from a pipe, ditch, or other discrete
<br />conveyance to receiving waters, or to a storm sewer system owned and operated by another party.
<br /> ∙ Permittee. A person, firm, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, state agency or political
<br />subdivision thereof engaged in a land disturbance activity who submits an application to the PWD for a
<br />permit pursuant to this ordinance.
<br /> ∙ Phasing. Clearing a parcel of land in distinct phases, with the stabilization of each phase before the
<br />clearing of the next.
<br /> ∙ Ramsey Conservation District. The Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District.
<br /> ∙ Rice Creek Watershed District. An organization which oversees the activities in the Rice Creek
<br />watershed as defined by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 103B,and 103D.
<br /> ∙ Runoff. Rainfall, snowmelt, or irrigation water flowing over the ground surface.
<br /> ∙ Sediment. Solid mineral or organic material that, in suspension, is being transported, or has been
<br />moved from its original site by air, water, gravity, or ice, and has been deposited at another location.
<br /> ∙ Sedimentation. The process or action of depositing sediment, caused by erosion.
<br /> ∙ Site. The entire area of land on which the land disturbance activity is proposed in the permit
<br />application.
<br /> ∙ Site Plan. A plan or set of plans showing the details of any land disturbance activity of a site
<br />including but not limited to the construction of: structures, open and enclosed drainage facilities,
<br />stormwater management facilities, parking lots, driveways, curbs, pavements, sidewalks, bike paths,
<br />recreational facilities, ground covers, plantings, and landscaping.
<br /> ∙ Shoreland. The land located within the following distances from protected waters:
<br /> ∙ One thousand (1,000) feet from the ordinary high water mark of a lake, pond, or flowage;
<br /> ∙ Three hundred (300) feet from a river or stream, or the landward extent of a flood plain on such
<br />rivers or streams, whichever is greater; and,
<br /> ∙ The practical limits of shorelands may be less than the statutory limits where the limits are
<br />designated by natural drainage divides at lesser distances, as shown on the official map of the City.
<br /> ∙ Stabilization. The use of measures which protect soil from the erosion forces of wind, rain and
<br />flowing water.
<br /> ∙ Steep Slope. Land where agricultural activity or development is either not recommended or
<br />described as poorly suited due to slope steepness and the site's soil characteristics, as mapped and described
<br />in available county soil surveys or other technical reports, unless appropriate design and construction
<br />techniques and farming practices are used in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Where specific
<br />information is not available, steep slopes are lands having average slopes over twelve percent (12%), as
<br />measured over horizontal distances of fifty (50) feet or more, that are not bluffs.
<br /> ∙ Surface Water or Waters. All streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, wetlands, reservoirs, springs, rivers,
<br />drainage systems, waterways, watercourses, and irrigation systems whether natural or artificial, public or
