[Ord. No. 2444 §2, 10-10-2005]
A.Â
During
the construction process, soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by
wind and water. Eroded soil endangers water resources by reducing
water quality and causing the siltation of aquatic habitat for fish
and other desirable species. Deposits of eroded soil also necessitate
maintenance of sewers and ditches and the dredging of lakes. In addition,
clearing and grading during construction cause the loss of native
vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat.
B.Â
Construction
activities also utilize materials and generate wastes, which if not
properly controlled can pollute receiving waters.
C.Â
The
purpose of this Chapter is to safeguard persons, protect property
and prevent damage to the environment in Shrewsbury. This Chapter
will also promote the public welfare by guiding, regulating and controlling
the design, construction, use and maintenance of any significant development
or other activity that disturbs or breaks the topsoil or results in
the movement of earth on land in Shrewsbury.
[Ord. No. 2444 §2, 10-10-2005]
For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms, phrases,
words and their derivations shall have the meanings given herein.

the amount of sediment and other pollutants in storm water discharges
associated with construction and land disturbance activities.

A.Â
Any
person who intends to conduct any land disturbance activity that will
disturb forty-three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) or more square
feet or more must obtain a site disturbance permit from both the State
of Missouri and the City of Shrewsbury.
B.Â
Any person who buys a lot for construction from a person who has been issued a permit under Subsection (A) above (unless purchased for the purpose of building their own private residence) must obtain a separate site disturbance permit from Shrewsbury unless the original permittee retains responsibility for the land disturbance activities on the sold lot.
