Oneida, NY Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

Chapter 143's Article VI, Document Specifications, tells applicants exactly what the Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission needs to see before it will approve a site plan, and Section 143-24 directs that these submissions follow the item list set out in Appendix A. Item F of that appendix, Erosion and sediment control, splits the requirement into two phases. The temporary-controls phase, used during land clearing, land grading and the construction phases, requires the applicant to describe the structural facilities and vegetative measures that will control erosion and sedimentation, map their location by subcatchment, provide dimensional details and material specifications, identify which temporary facilities will convert into permanent stormwater management facilities, and provide both an implementation schedule for staging the controls and a maintenance schedule for keeping them functional.

The appendix cross-references the New York Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control for sizing sediment basins. The permanent-controls phase requires a narrative description of the structural and vegetative practices that will provide long-term erosion control once the site is restored, a map of those permanent facilities by catchment, and an implementation schedule for installing them. These erosion-control submissions sit alongside the stormwater management report requirements in the same article, which require storm-event sizing calculations and a determination of whether a state DEC dam permit is needed, so a single site plan application typically addresses both erosion control and stormwater management together before the Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission will act.
