Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.

ARTICLE II. CONSTRUCTION AND SITE EROSION AND SEDIMENT
Sec. 1-7.7-11. Findings.
(a) During the construction process, disturbed soil is highly vulnerable to erosion by wind
and water. Eroded soil endangers aquatic flora and fauna by reducing water quality and
causing the siltation of habitat.
(b) Eroded soil impedes flow and necessitates the maintenance of storm drainage systems,
ditches, canals, swales and the dredging of water bodies. In addition, emissions of particulate
matter caused by construction activities, demolition, or the stockpiling of particulate sub-
stances, may trespass on neighboring properties, and degrade air quality.

and sediment control and such plan has been approved by the county engineer or designee. The
plan must address all applicable BMP's for erosion control and shall include a statement that
any land clearing, construction, or development involving the movement of earth shall be in
accordance with the erosion and sediment control plan and that a certified contractor shall be
on site on all days when land disturbing activity takes place.
(Ord. No. 07-005, Pt. A, 5-15-2007)
Sec. 1-7.7-13. Standards.
(a) Clearing, except that necessary to establish sediment control devices, shall not begin
until all sediment control devices have been installed and have been stabilized. Clearing
techniques that retain natural vegetation and drainage patterns shall be implemented to the
satisfaction of the county engineer or designee.
(b) Grading, erosion control practices, sediment control practices, and waterway crossings
shall be adequate to prevent transportation of sediment from the site and be maintained to
project completion to the satisfaction of county engineer or designee.
(c) The angle for graded slopes and fills shall not be greater than the angle which can be
retained by vegetative cover, or other adequate erosion-control, devices or structures (gener-
ally 4:1 or less). Slopes left exposed will, within ten (10) working days of completion of any
phase of grading, be planted or otherwise provided with ground cover, devices, or structures
sufficient to prevent erosion.
(d) Groundcover suf~'icient to restrain erosion must be planted or otherwise provided within
ten (10) working days on portions of cleared land upon which further construction activity is
not being undertaken within thirty (30) days of clearing.
(e) Vegetative cover or other erosion control devices or structures used to meet these
requirements shall be properly maintained during and after construction.
(~ Temporary seeding or sodding, adequate covering, or chemical application, on exposed
soils, including stockpiles of topsoil, sand, or other construction fill, shall be used where delays
in construction of more than seven (7) days are anticipated.
(g) The operator of any construction project that disturbs one (1) acre or more, or is part of
the larger common plan of development or sale which disturbs one (1) acre or more, is required
to obtain the proper stormwater permit from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and to comply with all the terms and conditions of the permit, in addition to any

ants.
(Ord. No. 07-005, Pt. A, 5-15-2007)
Sec. 1-7.7-18. Suspension of MS4 access.
(a) Suspension due to illicit discharges in emergency situations. St. Lucie County may,
without prior notice, suspend MS4 discharge access to a person when such suspension is
necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent
and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of people, or to the MS4
or Waters of the United States. If the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued
in an emergency, the authorized enforcement agency may take such steps as deemed necessary
to prevent or minimize damage to the MS4 or Waters of the United States, or to minimize
danger to persons.
(b) Suspension due to the detection of illicit discharge. Any person discharging to the MS4
in violation of this chapter may have their MS4 access terminated if such termination would
abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The county will notify a violator of the proposed
termination of its MS4 access. The violator may petition the county for a hearing. A person
commits an offense if the person reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated pursuant to
this section, without the prior approval of the county engineer or designee.
