1030.060 (Mining and Soils Processing), Title IV (Construction Regulations), and Title V
(Public Works) of the City Code to update regulations related to Land Disturbance and
Erosion and Sediment Control, based on the following findings:
1. Uncon
subjec
trolled Land Disturbing Activities, particularly at construction sites, are
tto soil erosion and other pollutants.
2. When soil erosion and pollutants enter receiving water bodies, the public health,
safety, and general welfare is adversely affected by impacts to water quality,
creations of nuisances, impairment of other beneficial uses of environmental
resources, and obstructing the ability of the City to provide adequate water,
sewage, flood control, and other community services.
3. The proposed text amendments consolidate Land Disturbance and Erosion and
Control regulations into a single chapter within Title V of the City Code to reflect
its function within Public Works, provide ease of use to the public, and allow for
efficient updates in the future when MPCA revises permits on an anticipated
timeline of every five years.
