<br /> to maintain the property in a neat, clean and presentable manner free of any junk, debris, refuse, litter, dead
<br /> trees, or noxious weeds, and to remove all other public health or safety hazards from the property.

<br /> and RS rural residential zoning districts, provided that such properties or portions of properties shall be
<br /> maintained in conformance with this subsection upon notice from the city that lack of such
<br /> maintenance has caused complaints from abutting property owners and is thereby creating a public
<br /> nuisance.
<br /> (4) Wetlands vegetation as defined in chapter 78
<br /> (5) Grass, weeds or underbrush on any slope in excess of 100 percent(45 degrees).
<br /> (c) Any violation of this section is declared to be a nuisance and a public safety and welfare hazard, and upon

<br /> (a) (Plan standards required.J No stormwater pollution prevention plan that fails to meet the standards contained
<br /> in this section shall be approved by the city council or designated representative.
<br /> (b) Site dewatering. Water pumped from the site shall be treated by temporary sedimentation basins, grit
<br /> chambers, sand filters, upflow chambers, hydrocyclones, swirl concentrators or other appropriate controls as
<br /> appropriate. All water from dewatering must be discharged in a manner that does not cause nuisance
<br /> conditions, erosion in receiving channels or on downslope properties, or inundation in wetlands causing
<br /> significant adverse impact to the wetland.
<br /> All discharge points must be adequately protected from erosion and scour. The discharge must be
<br /> dispersed over natural rock riprap, sand bags, plastic sheeting or other accepted energy dissipation
<br /> measures. Adequate sedimentation control measures are required for discharge water that contains
<br /> suspended solids.
<br /> (c) Construction site waste.
<br /> (1) Waste and material disposal: All waste, unused building material (including garbage debris, cleaning
<br /> wastes, wastewater, toxic materials or hazardous materials), collected sediment, asphalt and concrete
<br /> millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric, construction and demolition debris and other wastes
<br /> must be properly contained on site and disposed of off site, not allowed to be carried by runoff into
<br /> receiving channel or storage sewer system.
<br /> (2) Hazardous materials: Oil, gasoline, paint and any hazardous substances must be properly stored,
<br /> including secondary containment, to prevent spill, leaks or other discharge. Restricted access to
<br /> storage areas must be provided to prevent vandalism. Concrete wash must be limited to a defined
<br /> area of the site and runoff must be contained within the defined area. Storage of hazardous waste
<br /> must be in compliance with MPCA regulations.
<br /> (3) Liquid waste: All non stormwater discharges (concrete truck washout, vehicle washing, maintenance
<br /> spills, etc.) conducted during the construction activity must comply with the newest version of the state
<br /> NPDES permit.
<br /> (4) Sanitary facilities: Adequate on-site sanitary facilities shall be provided in convenient location(s) for all
<br /> persons who work on the site.
