MODEL CONSTRUCTION SITE EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL ORDINANCE
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Note to Users: The “Users” in this document are the municipalities that use this guidance in developing their ordinances. “Note to Users” appears in italics throughout these model ordinances and should not be included in the final ordinance. This model ordinance includes the use of brackets [ ] around phrases that are to be filled in by the municipality. For example, the phrase [administering authority] is frequently used. Where the municipality chooses to have the ordinance administered by the City Engineer, the phrase [administering authority] should be replaced by ”City Engineer.” In a few places, the model ordinance includes phrases in brackets that are underlined [______]. In these cases, one of the underlined phrases should be selected verbatim. For example, if the phrase includes statutory citations, several underlined choices may be given such as [59.693, 60.627, 61.354, or 62.234]. A county would replace the phrase in brackets with “59.693,” since that is the appropriate citation for a county to use. Some sections and subsections are optional for users to include in the ordinance and will be identified as such in a “Note to Users.” An asterisk ( * ) denotes subsequent numbering and references to numbered sections or subsections that would be affected by exclusion of the optional text.
