(D) No person shall engage in any Land -Disturbing activity associated with development until <br />a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan ("SECP"), is approved by the City Engineer. <br />(E) Neither the approval of a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan, nor the absence of a <br />requirement to submit a plan shall relieve the property owner or the operator of the <br />requirement stated in subsection (A) of this section. <br />§235-14 - Sediment and Erosion Control Plan ("SECP"). <br />(A) Prior to obtaining a building permit or other permit issued by the Building Department for <br />a Land Disturbing Activities, the applicant shall be required to provide to the City a SECP. <br />For projects that disturb an area of land greater than one (1) acre in size, a copy of the <br />SWPPP may be provided in lieu of a SECP when submitting the SECP application (See Sec. <br />13-2127(c)). <br />(B) The SECP shall comply with the erosion control standards provided in the latest edition of <br />the Florida Stormwater Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual. <br />(C) SECP shall be drawn to an appropriate scale and shall include sufficient information to <br />evaluate the environmental characteristics of the affected areas, the potential impacts of <br />the proposed grading on water resources, and measures proposed to minimize soil <br />erosion and off-site sedimentation. The property owner and/or operator shall perform all <br />clearing, grading, drainage, construction, and development in strict accordance with the <br />approved plan. <br />u Each SECP must meet the following basic objectives: <br />(1) Identify areas of concern. Identify the on-site areas which are subiect to severe <br />erosion, and off-site areas, including storm drain locations, that are vulnerable to <br />damage from erosion and/or sedimentation. <br />(2) Limit exposure. Any Land -Disturbing Activity must be planned and conducted in a <br />manner that limits the exposure of soil to disturbing activities. <br />(3) Limit exposed areas. Any Land -Disturbing Activity must be planned and conducted in <br />a manner that limits the size of the area and duration exposed to Land -Disturbing <br />activities. <br />(4) Control surface water. Surface water runoff originating upgrade, or as a result of Land - <br />Disturbing Activities, must be controlled to reduce erosion and sediment loss during <br />the period of exposure. <br />(5) Control sedimentation. Any Land -Disturbing Activity must be planned and conducted <br />in a manner as to prevent off-site sedimentation damage. <br />Page 8 of 12 <br />
