14.28.080 Construction.

(A) All construction plans and applications for building permits shall consider the potential for erosion and sedimentation at the construction site, and shall include appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls. Appropriate controls shall be determined in accordance with the guidance provided in the "Standards for Erosion and Sedimentation Control" and the "Erosion and Sedimentation Control Handbook" published by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), and may include site planning considerations, construction staging and timing, and installation of temporary detention ponds or other treatment facilities.

(B) Prior to and/or during construction, the director of public works may establish controls on the volume and rate of stormwater runoff from new developments and redevelopment as may be appropriate to minimize peak flows or total runoff volume. These controls may include limits on impervious area or provisions for detention and retention of runoff on-site.

(C) The director of public works may require, as a condition of project approval, permanent structural controls designed for the removal of sediment and other pollutants. The selection and design of such controls shall be in accordance with criteria established or recommended by state and federal agencies.
