Highly erodible soils. Soil map units as classified by the Natural Resources
<br />Conservation Service (MRCS -formerly the Soil Conservation Service) as being highly
<br />erodible. Based on factors from the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, the NRCS
<br />classification system considers soil erodibility (K factor), climate, slope, steepness, length, and
<br />soil loss tolerance (T factor).
<br />Improper disposal. Disposal of any construction related material in a manner that
<br />causes, or has the potential to cause, the discharge of pollutants to the City's stormwater
<br />system or related natural resource, the depletion of the capacity of the City's stormwater

<br />Improper storage. Handling or storing of any construction related materials in a
<br />manner that, due to leaks, spills, leachates, deposits or dumps, causes or has the potential to

<br />vegetation, and hydrology including, but not limited to, clearing, grading, grubbing,
<br />excavating, filling, logging, and storing of materials.
<br />Maximum extent practicable. The greatest degree of pollutant reduction achievable
<br />through the application of technically feasible, cost effective best management erosion
<br />practices, processes, siting criteria, operating methods, or other alternatives approved by the
<br />City. A practice or action shall be considered "cost effective" so long as the cost is less than
<br />or equal to $1.50 per square foot of disturbed azea. Costs to be considered under the
<br />previous sentence shall include permit fees, and implementation of construction site
<br />management measures. Costs do not include: design preparation, prepazation of construction
<br />site management plan/template, maintenance of management measures, actions taken to
<br />correct violations, including any civil penalties imposed, and permanent landscape and
<br />associated design fees.
<br />Minor Recurring Activities. Repetitive construction activities. that aze performed as
<br />part of an overall work plan and no individual disturbance exceeds more than 500 squaze feet
<br />of land azea and 50 cubic yazds of fill or excavated material.
<br />Permit Holder. The property owner or easement holder of record of the pazcel or tax
<br />lot for which construction activities are planned.
