Description

This is a sample of Municipal Codes when dealing with an erosion and sediment control ordinance. This may be used across the United States. The Hennepin Minnesota Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance is a local regulation that aims to prevent erosion and sediment runoff in construction and land development projects within Hennepin County, Minnesota. This ordinance applies to various types of construction activities, including residential, commercial, and public works projects. One of the key objectives of the Hennepin Minnesota Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance is to safeguard the water quality of rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water in the county by minimizing the displacement of soil and sediment into these water bodies. By implementing effective erosion and sediment control measures, this ordinance seeks to protect natural resources and enhance the overall environmental quality of Hennepin County. The Hennepin Minnesota Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance encompasses several provisions and requirements that construction projects must adhere to. These provisions include the establishment of sediment control measures, such as sediment barriers, sediment basins, and erosion control blankets, which help to limit the movement of sediment and prevent it from reaching nearby water bodies. Additionally, the ordinance emphasizes the importance of proper stabilization techniques, such as the use of erosion control revegetation practices and the implementation of stormwater management strategies. It requires developers and contractors to promptly stabilize disturbed areas to prevent erosion and sedimentation. To ensure compliance with the Hennepin Minnesota Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance, construction projects are subject to inspections by the Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy. Inspections may be carried out during various stages of the project, including pre-construction meetings, construction phase, and post-construction. Non-compliance with the ordinance may result in penalties and enforcement actions. It is important to note that within Hennepin County there may be different versions or variations of the Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance. While the specific names or classifications of these variations may vary, they all share the common goal of mitigating erosion and sedimentation in construction and land development activities. Some possible variations include the Hennepin County Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinance or the Hennepin County Sediment Control Guidelines. These variations may address specific aspects or requirements particular to certain types of projects, but they ultimately align with the broader goal of protecting water quality and the environment.
