TEXT OF RULE
SECTION 1. SPS 360.01 is amended, to read:
SPS 360.01 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish uniform standards and criteria for the design, installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control practices at building construction sites and minimum performance standards for post construction storm water management on building sites under the authority of Ch. 101, Stats., so as to protect the waters of the state. SECTION 2. SPS 360.02 is amended to read:
SPS 360.02 Scope. This chapter applies to erosion control permits required at all sites where land disturbing construction activities of less than one acre occur during the construction of buildings and structures serving as public buildings and places of employment.
SECTION 3. SPS 360.02 (Note) is created to read:
Note: Authority over erosion and sediment control at construction sites having a land-disturbance area of one acre or more, including all authority for all the requirements in this section, was transferred to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under 2013 Wisconsin Act 20, sections 1712 and 2088. Consequently, the Department of Safety and Professional Services no longer administers the requirements in this section.
