<br /> Section 1520 - Erosion and Sediment Control Plans and Review
<br /> 1520.01 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
<br /> Subd. 1 Required. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must be submitted to the PWD for
<br /> every project involving a land disturbance activity. No building permit, site plan approval,
<br /> subdivision approval, or permit to allow land disturbing activities shall be issued and no earth
<br /> disturbing activity shall commence until approval of the Erosion and Sediment Control
<br /> Plan. Projects coordinated by Ramsey County or Mn/DOT do not require a permit from the
<br /> City; however, the PWD shall be notified of the project and be provided with a copy of the
<br /> Erosion and 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 should fail
<br /> or require maintenance with the expectation that the deficiencies will be corrected.
<br /> If no permit has been obtained, a stop work order may be issued on the construction and a fine
<br /> may be issued in an amount equal to twice the required permit fee. A completed Erosion and
<br /> Sediment Control Plan and permit application shall be submitted before construction will be
<br /> allowed to resume.
<br /> Obtaining a permit does not exempt the Permittee from obtaining permits required by other
<br /> governmental agencies.
