[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Mayville by Ord.
No. 728-91. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter is adopted pursuant to § 62.234, Wis. Stats., for the purpose of minimizing the amount of sediment and other pollutants carried by runoff from sites of construction or other land disturbing activities as enumerated in § 215-3 of this chapter.
A.
Required. No landowner, land user or contractor shall, within the City, commence any activity enumerated in § 215-3 of this chapter before obtaining an erosion control permit from the Building Inspector.
B.
Application-fee. Application for a permit shall be made on an application form provided by the Building Inspector and shall be accompanied by an erosion control plan in accordance with § 215-4 of this chapter and a fee as set by the Common Council.
C.
Grant or denial of permit. Within 10 working days after
receipt of the application, the Building Inspector shall grant or deny the
permit. If the permit is denied, the Inspector shall enumerate the required
additions or modifications to the erosion control plan. Upon satisfactory
revision of the plan, the permit shall be issued.
D.
Exceptions. A permit shall not be required for the following:
The land disturbing activities requiring permit under § 215-2 of this chapter are as follows:
A.
Those involving grading, removal of protective ground
cover or vegetation, excavation, landfilling or other land disturbing activity
affecting a surface area of 4,000 square feet or more.
B.
Those involving excavation or filling, or a combination
thereof, affecting 400 cubic yards or more of dirt, sand or other excavation
or fill material.

Those involving street, highway, road or bridge construction
or reconstruction.
D.

for a distance of 300 feet or more.
E.

A.
General. Erosion control plan criteria, standards and
specifications have been established by the Building Inspector and are on
file in his office. In drafting the plan, the applicant shall take into account
and indicate on the plan all factors which may affect erosion control on and
adjacent to the site and provide a site drawing, drawn to scale, designating
the location of the most suitable erosion control devices, so as to prevent
sediment runoff to the greatest degree practicable. The plan shall also include
a timetable of land disturbing activities, the area involved in each such
activity, and the temporary and permanent procedures to be taken to minimize
sediment runoff.
B.
Erosion control devices. Erosion control devices shall
include sedimentation basins, filter fences, straw bales and mulch, tarps,
temporary and permanent seeding, sodding and channeling surface water around
disturbed areas.
A.
Waste and material disposal. All waste and unused building
materials, including garbage, debris, cleaning wastes, wastewater, toxic materials,
or hazardous materials, shall be properly disposed of and not allowed to be
carried by runoff into a receiving channel or storm sewer system.
B.
Tracking. Each site shall have graveled roads, access
drives and parking areas of sufficient width and length to prevent sediment
from being tracked onto public or private roadways. Any sediment reaching
a public or private road shall be removed by street cleaning (not flushing)
before the end of each workday.
C.
Drain inlet protection. All storm drain inlets shall
be protected with a straw bale, filter fabric or equivalent barrier.
The Building Inspector shall inspect the site as often as he deems necessary
for the enforcement of this chapter.
[Amended by Ord. No. 927-2002]
A.
Stop-work order. The Building Inspector may post a stop-work
order if:
B.
Revision. If, because of excessive rainfall or other
abnormal conditions, the erosion control plan in place is inadequate to prevent
sediment runoff, the Building Inspector shall order the permittee to install
additional erosion control devices and provide a timetable for such installation.
C.
Permit revocation. If, within 10 days of the issuance
of a stop-work order, any permittee does not cease the activity or comply
with the control plan, the Building Inspector may revoke the permit.
D.
Cease and desist order. In the event any person without
a permit fails to obey a stop-work order or obtain a permit within 10 days,
the Building Inspector may request the City Attorney to obtain a cease and
desist order.
E.
Special charge. Ten days after posting a stop-work order,
the Building Inspector may issue a notice of intent to the permittee or landowner
or land user of his intent to perform work necessary to comply with this chapter.
The Building Inspector may go on the land and commence the work after 14 days
from issuing the notice of intent. The costs of the work performed by the
Building Inspector shall be billed to the permittee or the landowner. In the
event that the permittee or landowner fails to pay the amount due, the City
Clerk shall enter the amount due on the tax rolls and collect it as a special
charge against the property, pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.
