A.Required submissions for application. In addition to other required information and supporting certifications as required for submission of sediment control plans under Chapter 19 of the County Code and as required by Section 55-7 of the County Code, a person subject to this Chapter must also submit to the Director the following information with each application for a sediment control permit:

(1) a planting plan delineating:

(a) boundaries for all potential growing zones;

(b) all acceptable planting areas within each potential growing zone;

(c) a tree planting detail if trees can be planted on-site to satisfy mitigation requirements under Section 55-6 of the Code.

(2) a table summarizing:

(a) the square footage of the property;

(b) the square footage of the limits of disturbance of the proposed activity as shown on the sediment control permit application;

(c) the square footage of each potential growing zone;

(d) the number of shade trees required under 55-6 of the County Code;

(e) the number of shade trees to be planted on site; and

(f) the amount of fees to be paid under Section 55-6 of the County Code.

B.Issuance of sediment control permit. The Director must not issue a sediment control permit to a person that is subject to this regulation until:

(1) the Director has approved the applicant's planting plan if no exemption under Section 55-5 of the County Code applies;

(2) the applicant provides all fees required under Chapter 55-6 of the County Code; and

(3) the applicant has satisfied all applicable requirements under Article I of Chapter 19 of the County Code.

C.Revisions to Approved Plans.

(1) If the limits of disturbance or disturbed area are increased after issuance of the sediment control permit, the shade tree planting requirements must be recalculated based upon the revised area. The table required in Section 55-7(a)(2) of the County Code must be revised accordingly.

(2) If any approved growing zones shown on the approved sediment control plan are later revised, or if additional growing zones are added, the sediment control plan must be revised and resubmitted for review. The fee for reviewing the revised plans must be the minimum fee for the review of a sediment control plan.

(3) If the disturbed area, or limits of disturbance, are decreased, without changes to approved growing zones, after issuance of the sediment control permit, the tree planting requirements may not be decreased if any disturbance has occurred under that permit.

D.Closure of Sediment Control Permit. Upon completion of a project that is subject to this section and before the sediment control permit is closed by the Department, the applicant must submit a record drawing plan or as-built plan that includes the following:

(1) all information required by 55.00.01.07(A)(1) and (2) of this regulation;

(2) any revisions to plans, specifically to growing zones and planting areas including those approved in the field;
