1. A.
   Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.  All proposed Land Disturbance activity that requires a Permit in accordance with Title 18 of the Code shall be depicted on a site-specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.  Land Disturbance activities that do not require a Permit in accordance with Title 18 of the Code are required to employ applicable BMPs included in standard details provided by the City.  The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be submitted to the Director for review.  The Plan shall include, at a minimum, the following information:

   1. 1.
      Proposed site map.
   2. 2.
      Areas to be disturbed.
   3. 3.

1.   
   The Director may require any additional information or data deemed appropriate to ensure compliance with the intent, purpose and provisions of this Section of the Code.

2. B.
   Review and Approval of Erosion and Sediment Control Plans.  The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, manner, nature and extent of the work proposed.  The Plan shall clearly show that the proposed work will conform to the provisions of this Code, the Erosion and Sediment Control Standards, and other relevant laws, ordinances, policies, rules and regulations as determined by the Director.  The Director shall review the submitted documents to determine compliance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Standards. If the Director finds that the Plan is in compliance, the Applicant shall be advised that they may request a Permit.  If the Director finds that the Plan is not in compliance, the Director shall advise the Applicant which elements of the Plan are not in compliance. 
3. C.
   Preparation of Plans.  Erosion and Sediment Control Plans submitted to the City for review must be prepared under the supervision of and sealed by a licensed professional engineer or landscape architect or by a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC).  The engineer or landscape architect must be licensed to practice in the State of Kansas.  The Director may waive this Plan preparation requirement if the Applicant's Plan consists entirely of utilizing standard plans and specifications as adopted in the City's Erosion and Sediment Control Standards. 
4. D.
   Amended Plans.  Work shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved Plan.  Changes made during construction that are not in compliance with the approved Plan shall be resubmitted for approval as an amended set of construction documents.  Minor modifications of the approved Plan may be authorized by the Director without formal review provided those modifications are consistent with the Erosion and Sediment Control Standards and standard industry practice.
