NOTICE:
It is the obligation of the permittee, owner, operator or designee to ensure that erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) are installed in accordance with the site’s Erosion Control Plan (ECP) and installation design detail prior to commencement of grading, excavating, or stockpiling. BMPs must be maintained and functioning as designed at all times and until such time the site has been stabilized.

Any security or portion thereof withdrawn by the City must be replaced in full prior to work commencing again on the site, and if payment is not made, a Stop Work Order issued until funds are replaced. The erosion control collateral will be held by the City until the site has established vegetation sufficient to eliminate any potential for erosion as determined by City staff.
Failure to obtain an approved Site Development Permit prior to beginning any construction activity or land clearing can result in the issuance of a stop work or a fine until a permit is issued.
