§ 8.70.095. Construction sites requiring a building permit or a grading permit.

A.

Any person or company engaging in construction activities of five acres or more will be requested to have a general construction permit issued by CRWQCB and must demonstrate possession of such permit before grading or building permits can be issued. The general construction permit shall be retained on site and shall be shown to city officers or inspectors at their request.

B.

The following best management practices shall apply to all construction sites:

1.

Sediment and construction waste from construction sites and parking areas shall not leave the site.

2.

Between October 15th and April 15th, any sediments or other materials which are tracked off the site shall be removed the same day as they are tracked off the site. A sediment barrier shall be installed on land exceeding 15% slope in accord with Chapter 14.05 of this code, and where determined necessary by the building official.

3.

Excavated soil shall be located on the site in a manner that eliminates the possibility of sediments running into the street or adjoining properties. Between October 15th and April 15th, soil piles shall be covered until the soil is either used or removed.

4.

No washing of construction or other industrial vehicles shall be allowed adjacent to a construction site. No runoff from washing vehicles on a construction site is allowed to leave the site.
