In addition to meeting the standards of this Section 7.4.3 above, all erosion control plans submitted for approval under Section 3.13 of this Ordinance shall be developed and implemented in accordance with the following objectives:
(A) Identify Especially Vulnerable Areas
On-site areas that are subject to severe erosion, and off-site areas that are especially vulnerable to damage from erosion and/or sedimentation, shall be identified and receive special attention.
(B) Limit Time of Exposure
All land-disturbing activities shall be planned and conducted to limit exposure to the shortest feasible time.
(C) Limit Exposed Area
All land-disturbing activities shall be planned and conducted to minimize the size of the area to be exposed at any one time.
(D) Control Surface Water
Surface water runoff originating upgrade of exposed areas should be controlled to reduce erosion and sediment loss during the period of exposure.
(E) Control Sedimentation
All land-disturbing activities shall be planned and conducted so as to prevent off-site sedimentation damage.
(F) Manage Stormwater Runoff
When the increase in the velocity of stormwater runoff resulting from a land-disturbing activity is sufficient to cause accelerated erosion of the receiving watercourse, erosion control plans shall include measures to control the velocity at the point of discharge so as to minimize accelerated erosion of the site and increased sedimentation of the stream.
