AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 15.24 OF THE BUFFALO GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE,
BEING SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
WHEREAS, Buffalo Grove is a Home Rule unit pursuant to the Illinois
Constitution of 1970,
BE IT ORDAINED by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Buffalo Grove, Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois:
Section 1. The following sections of Chapter 15.24 of the Buffalo Grove
Municipal Code are hereby amended to read as follows:
SECTION 15.24.020.C.
C. "Cubic yards' means the amount of material in excavation and /or fill
measured by the method of "average end areas."
SECTION 15.24.030 General criteria and standards. The following
general principles shall apply to any movement of earth and any sedimentation
and erosion control plan, and the granting of a permit for the execution of
said plan as hereinafter provided:
A. The smallest practical area of land shall be exposed at any given
time during development;
B. Such minimum area exposure shall be kept to as short a duration of
time as is practical;
C. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be in place as part of
the land development process before significant grading or disturbance is
allowed;
D. Where appropriate, temporary vegetation, mulching or other nonviable
cover shall be used to protect areas exposed during development;
E. Sediment basins, debris basins, desilting basins, or silt traps
shall be installed and maintained to remove sediment from runoff waters from
land undergoing development;
F. Provision shall be made to effectively accommodate the increased
runoff caused by changed soil and surface conditions during and after
development;
G. Permanent, final plant covering or structures shall be installed as
soon as possible;
H. The plan of development shall relate to the topography and soils of
the site so that the lowest potential for erosion is created. Areas of steep
slopes where high cuts and fills may be required should be avoided wherever
possible and natural contours should be followed as closely as possible.
I. Natural plant covering shall be retained and protected so far as is
consistent with developing the site. Areas immediately adjacent to natural
watercourses should be left undisturbed wherever possible.
W W
J. Velocity retarding devices (temporary or permanent) shall be
installed to reduce the scouring and transport capacities of drainage
ditches.
SECTION 15.24.060.B.
B. Each application for a site development permit shall be made by the
owner of the property or his authorized representative to the Village
Engineer and shall be accompanied by a site development plan consisting of

intends to move in excess of five hundred cubic yards of dirt:
SECTION 15.24.060.B.5.
5. For the purpose of exemplifying the considerations and factors which
should enter into the preparation of a site development plan, the standards
and requirements of the "Standards and Specifications for Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control" published by the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency in 1987 and the "Procedures and Standards for Urban Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control" (The Greenbook), published in 1988, shall be used.
SECTION 15.24.120 Inspections. The Village Engineer shall make
inspections as hereinafter required and shall either approve that portion of
the work completed or shall notify the permittee wherein the same fails to
comply with the site development plan. Where it is found by inspection that
conditions are not substantially as stated or shown in the said plan, the
Village Engineer may stop further work until approval is obtained to revise
the plan conforming to the existing conditions. Plans for the work, bearing
the stamp of approval of the Village Engineer, shall be maintained at the
site during progress of the work. Until the final inspection is made, a copy
of the site development permit issued by the Village, shall be available on
the property. In order to obtain inspections in accordance with the
following schedule, the permittee shall notify the Village Engineer at least
two full working days before the said inspection is to be made:
A. Prior to stripping and clearing.
B. Prior to rough grading.
C. Prior to final grading.
D. Final inspection. When all work, including installation of all
drainage and other structures and required plantings, has been completed.
SECTION 15.24.140 Handbooks adopted by reference. "Standards and
Specifications for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control," published by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in 1987 and the "Procedures and
Standards for Urban Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control" (The Greenbook),
published in 1988 are incorporated into this chapter and made a part hereof
by this reference for the purpose of delineating procedures and methods of
operation under development plans approved in this chapter. In the event of
conflict between provisions of said "Handbooks" and other provisions of this
chapter, the said provisions of this chapter shall govern.

SECTION 15.24.150A.
15.24.150 Special precautions. A. If at any stage of the grading, the
Village Engineer determines by inspection that further work as authorized by
an existing permit is likely to imperil any property, public way, watercourse
or drainage structure, the Village Engineer may require as a condition to
allowing the work to be done, that such reasonable special precautions be
taken as deemed advisable to avoid the likelihood of such peril. Special
precautions may include, but shall not be limited to, specifying a more level
exposed slope, construction of additional drainage facilities, berms,
terracing, compaction, or cribbing, installation of plant materials for
erosion control and reports from a registered profession engineer whose
recommendations may be made requirements for further work.
Section 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after
its passage, approval and publication. This ordinance may be published in
pamphlet form.
