Private facilities must comply with the grading and filling provisions of Section 1012.03.H.3 5242 of this ordinance; and 5243 d. For public roads, driveways and parking areas, documentation must be provided by a 5244 qualified individual that they are designed and constructed to minimize and control erosion to 5245 public waters consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil and water 5246 conservation district, or other applicable technical materials. 5247 2.
