(1) All applicants and property owners shall comply with the provisions of this Chapter and all related PCC.

(2) Any applicant who undertakes or causes to be undertaken any land disturbing activity, new development or redevelopment shall ensure that soil erosion, sedimentation, increased pollutant loads and changed water flow characteristics resulting from the activity are controlled so as to prevent or minimize pollution of receiving waters.

(3) The requirements of this Chapter are minimum requirements. They do not replace, repeal, abrogate, supersede, or affect any other more stringent requirements, rules, regulations, covenants, standards or restrictions. Where this Chapter imposes requirements which are more protective of human health or the environment than those set forth elsewhere, the provisions of this Chapter prevail. Approvals and permits granted under this Chapter are not waivers of the requirement of any other laws. Compliance is still required with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

(4) This Chapter shall be applicable to all land disturbing activity, including, but not limited to, site plan applications, subdivision applications, building permit applications and grading permit applications. (Ord. 11-1 §5, 2011).
