11 <br />(1) Grading, erosion and sediment control (ESC). A grading, erosion and <br />sediment control (ESC) permit including a grading, erosion and sediment control plan <br />shall be required for all proposed land land-disturbing activity unless otherwise <br />exempted in this chapter that meets any or all of the following: <br />(a) Includes excavation, filing, or stockpiling of erodible material in excess of 50 <br />cubic yards per acre; <br />(b) Involves the laying, repairing, replacing, or enlarging of an underground utility, <br />pipe or other facility, or the disturbance of road ditch, grass swale, or other open <br />channel for a distance of 500 feet or more; <br />(c)(b) Disturbs more than one acre of land or 10,000 square feet if any part of <br />the disturbed area is within 300 feet of a lake, stream or wetland and drains towards it; <br />and/or <br />(d)(c) A land land-disturbing activity, regardless of size, that the city determines <br />is likely to cause an adverse impact to an environmentally sensitive area or other <br />property. <br />(2) Grading, erosion and sediment control plan design standards. Grading, <br />erosion and sediment control plans must comply with the following criteria: <br />(a) All plans shall be consistent with national pollutant discharge elimination <br />permit (NPDES) requirements, the city engineering design standards, the Lino Lakes <br />stormwater detail plates, and the filing or approval requirements of Rice Creek <br />Watershed District, Vadnais Lakes Watershed Management Organization, Anoka <br />County, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, <br />State of Minnesota Stormwater Manual or other regulatory agencies;All site erosion <br />and sediment control practices shall be consistent with Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency document “Protecting water Quality in Urban Areas (1994) as amended and <br />City of Lin Lakes General Specifications and Standard Detail Plates for Street and <br />Utility Construction (January 2022 or current addition, as amended. <br />(b) Natural site topography and soil conditions must be specifically addressed to <br />reduce erosion and sedimentation during construction and after project completion; <br />(c) Site erosion and sediment control practices must be consistent with the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency document Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas <br />(2000), as amended, city-specific written design guidance, and be sufficient to retain <br />sediment on-site; <br />(d)(c) The project must be phased as best as possible to minimize disturbed <br />areas and removal of existing vegetation until necessary for project progress; <br />(e)(d) The city may require additional erosion and sediment control measures on <br />areas with a continuous slope leading to a sensitive, impaired or special water body, <br />stream, ditch or wetland to assure retention of sediment on site; <br />(f) When site restrictions do not allow for a temporary sediment basin or less <br />than the required acreage is being developed, temporary sediment basins, where <br />appropriate, are encouraged. They are not required in areas with steep slopes, highly
