construction of temporary devices or to repair any damaged erosion
control measures when rain is imminent.

Building Official or, in an emergency by the person responsible for grading
operations.
3. All removable protective devices shown shall be in place at the end of
each working day when the five-day rain probability forecast exceeds forty
percent. Forecasts shall be received from broadcasts provided by the
United States Weather Service.
4. After a rainstorm, all silt and debris shall be removed from check berms
and desilting basins and the basins pumped dry. Any graded slope
surface protection measures damaged during a rainstorm shall also be
immediately repaired. Failure to provide effective maintenance may result
in penalties as provide per Section 205.
8
5. Fill slopes at the tract perimeter must drain away from the top of the slope
at the conclusion of each working day.
6. At least one guard shall be posted on the site whenever the depth of
water in any device exceeds eighteen inches. Additional guards may be
required as deemed necessary by the Building Official.
7. After a rainstorm, all silt and debris shall be removed from public drains
and pipes, and from drains and pipes of adjacent properties.
C. Subsequent Rainy Seasons. For projects extending into subsequent rainy
seasons, for temporary drainage and erosion control plans shall be submitted.
