§ 20-180. Findings.

Latest version.

(a)

During the construction process, disturbed soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. Eroded soil endangers aquatic flora and fauna by reducing water quality and causing the siltation of habitat.

(b)

Eroded soil impedes flow and necessitates the maintenance of storm drainage systems, ditches, canals, swales and the dredging of water bodies. In addition, emissions of particulate matter caused by construction activities, demolition, or the stockpiling of particulate substances may trespass on neighboring properties, and degrade air quality.
