MN CSW Permit Section 13 Permit Termination Conditions

SECTION 13 PERMIT TERMINATION CONDITIONS

13.1

Permit Termination Conditions.

13.2

Permittees must complete all construction activity and must install permanent cover over all areas prior to submitting the NOT. Vegetative cover must consist of a uniform perennial vegetation with a density of 70 percent of its expected final growth. Vegetation is not required where the function of a specific area dictates no vegetation, such as impervious surfaces or the base of a sand filter.

13.3

Permittees must remove any accumulated sediment and stabilize the permanent stormwater treatment system and must ensure the system meets all applicable requirements in Section 15 through 19 and is operating as designed.

13.4

Permittees must remove all sediment from conveyance systems prior to submitting the NOT.

13.5

Permittees must remove all temporary synthetic erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs prior to submitting the NOT. Permittees may leave BMPs designed to decompose on-site in place.

13.6

For residential construction only, permit coverage terminates on individual lots if the lot is sold to the homeowner, structures are finished, and permanent cover has been established. For lots that are sold to the homeowner where permanent cover has not been established, coverage terminates if temporary erosion prevention and downgradient perimeter control is properly installed, and the permittee distributes the MPCA's "Homeowner Fact Sheet" to the homeowner.

13.7

For construction projects on agricultural land (e.g., pipelines across cropland), permittees must return the disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural use prior to submitting the NOT.

13.8

When submitting the NOT Permittees must include either ground or aerial photographs showing the requirements of 13.2 have been met. Permittees are not required to take photographs of every distinct part of the site, however the conditions portrayed must be substantially similar to those areas that are not photographed. Photographs must be clear and in focus and must include the date the photo was taken.
