Chapter 16.76 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
16.76.030 Erosion.
A. All measures necessary to minimize soil erosion and to
control sedimentation in the disturbed land shall be provided.
Specifically, the design and implementation of the proposed
measures shall ensure:
1. That any development is designed and executed in a manner
which will save and protect as much of the desirable native vegetation as
possible;
2. That a reclamation plan for revegetation on all disturbed
areas be guaranteed;
3. That all cuts and fills are adequately designed and
engineered to prevent detachment and transportation of soil particles from
slope.
When possible, developments should consider fitting the
buildings and streets to the natural topography. Slopes greater than 3:1 are
undesirable, while slopes of 6:1 are the most desirable.
Developers are required to consult the Soil Conservation
Service regarding soil limitations for the intended land use and may request
assistance in preparing conservation plans for developing areas.
B. Tables are presented following these regulations as a graphic summary of
erosion and sedimentation control measures. Asterisk(s) identify measures which
may effectively control the problem area.
