The real potential exists for excessive quantities of soil to erode from areas that
are undergoing land disturbance such as housing developments, industrial sites, and
roads. The resulting sediment could clog storm sewers and road ditches, add mud to
streams and silt lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Excessive sediment limits the use
of water for most beneficial purposes. Sediment choked streams are unsightly and their
reduced channel capacity can result in flooding and associated damages, including
the threat to the public health and safety. Therefore, it is the purpose of this article
to effectively contain soil erosion and sedimentation on the parcels where land is
being disturbed by requiring provisions for water disposal and the protection of soil
surfaces prior to, during, and after the land disturbance in order to promote the
safety, public health, convenience, and general welfare of the citizens of city.
