The stated purpose of those <br />sections is to prevent or minimize to the maximum extent practicable negative impacts to <br />adjacent properties, water quality, and related natural resources resulting from construction <br />.activities, achieve compliance with the outcomes specified in R-6.645-D, and prevent erosion <br />and control stormwater impact. Where possible the City will rely on education rather than <br />enforcement, but will use the amount of enforcement necessary to achieve. compliance. <br />Administrative Rule R-6.645 Erosion Prevention and Construction Site Management <br />Practices defines "Person" as: "An individual, trust, firm, joint stock company, joint venture, <br />consortium, commercial entity, partnership, association, corporation, commission, state and <br />any agency thereof, political subdivision of the state, interstate body or the federal <br />government, including any agency thereof.
