OPMC 16.200 reaches all clearing, grading, filling and excavating citywide. Permitted sites file a site-specific erosion and sediment control plan sealed by a professional engineer, landscape architect or Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control.
Chapter 16.200 applies to land disturbance occurring on or after March 10, 2003. Plans show existing conditions, proposed BMPs and the phasing of control measures. Nothing starts until the Director approves the pre-construction measures on site. The permit holder inspects at least every 14 days and by the end of the next working day following rainfall of 0.5 inches or more, the trigger in Kansas Construction Stormwater General Permit S-MCST-1703-1, and corrects deficiencies within seven calendar days. Disturbing an acre or more requires abatement surety and separate KDHE construction stormwater permit coverage. Closure requires perennial vegetation at 70 percent of undisturbed density.
The Director refuses inspections, serves notices of violation and stop work orders, and abates at the owner's cost. Unpaid abatement becomes a lien and special assessment certified to Johnson County.
