Be advised where more than one (1) addition and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a two (2) year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs during this finro (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan review phase of the project. It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030. Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.

For guidance on what these BMPs are, please refer to the attached brochure. Please include appropriate BMPs as plan notes. Erosion and sediment controls must be in placed prior to the start of the rainy season (October 15th of each year) and maintained continuously during the construction project. Discharge from any construction activity is prohibited from accessing the storm drain. The public right of way or easement is not allowed to be used as a construction staging area and should not be used for any construction-related activity. Brochures and literatures on stormwater pollution prevention and BMPs are available at the Planning and Building departments. Distribute to all project proponents.

Reviewed by: � Date: 11/27/06 WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION? ` ' � � l/ vVater and wind carry soil from our Bay Area Iand down into our �treams, Iakes and the Bay. Tfiis soil carries with it pollu- ants such as oiI and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal �rastes and bacteria, whicfi threaten our water quality. iuch erosion also costs the home construction industry, local ;overnment, and the homeowner untold mi�ions of doflars � year. Nature slowly wears away Iand, but human activities such as construction increase the rate of erosion 200, even 2,000 times that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects that hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and water and increase its chances of eroding. The Ioss of soil from a construction site results in Ioss of topsoil, minerals and nutrients, arid it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the landscape. Surface nznoff and the materials it carries with it clog our culverts, flood channels and streams. Sometimes it destroys wildlife and damages recreational areas sc�ch as Iakes and re- servoirs. As an exampde, road and home building in the Oakland hi1ls above Lake Temescal fil[ed the Iake to such an extent that it had to be dredged in,1979 at a public cost of $750,000. NEED MORB INFORMATION? �BAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion alled "Money Down the Drain." It is available for showing � any interested group. Ca11 ABAG Public Affairs at (415) �41-9730. �BAG has also published a"Manual of Standards for Sur- �ce Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively �ith designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi- lent control, and control of urban runoff. The manual addresses problerns and solutions as they apply to California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased from ABAG and is available on reference at many local libraries and in city and county public works and planning depart- ments. USDA Soi1 Conservation Service personnel are willing to provide more inforrnation on specifc erosion problems.

We lose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to be spent on cleaning out sediment from storm drains, channels, lakes arid the Bay. You can protect your prop- erty and prevent future headaches by following tfiese guidelines; BEFORE AND DURING CONSTRUCTION • Plan construction activities during spring and st�mmer, so that erosion control measures can be in place when the rain comes. • Examine your site carefuliy before building. Be aware of the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site design will fielp you avoid expensive stabilization work. Preserve existing vegeta- tion as much as possible. Limit grading and plant remova( to tl�e areas under current construc- tion. (Vegetation will naturally curb erosion, improve 1he appearance and the value of your property, and reduce the cost of Iandscapinq Iater.) • Use fencing to protect plants from fi11 rnaterial and traffic. If you have to pave near trees, do so with perrneable as- phaIt or porous paving blocks. • Preserve the natural contours of the Iand and disturb the earth as Iittle as possible. Limit the tirri'e in which graded areas areexposed. • Minimize the Iength and steepness of slopes by � benching, terracing, or constructing diversion ��'�, structures. Landscape ' ��' � � benched areas to stabilize . the slope and improve ifs appearance. • As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation on all areas that are not to be paved or otherwise covered. • Control dust ori graded areas by sprinkling witfi water, restricting traffic to certain routes, and paving or gravel- ing access roads and driveways. ?EMPORARY MEASURBS TO S?ABILIZE THE SOIL � � Grass provides the cheapest and most ef- fective short-terrn . ero- sion control. It grows quickly and covers the ground completely. To fnd the best seed mix- tures and plants for your area, check with your local nursery, the U.S. Department ofAg- riculture Soil Conserva- tion Service, or the University of California Cooperative Extension. Muichea hold soil moisture and provide ground protection from rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi- ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy-lo-obtain mulches are grass clippings, Ieaves, sawdust, bark cfiips and straw Straw mulch is nearly 100'� �effective when held inplace by spraying with an organic glue or wood f ber (tacki(iers), by punching it into the soit with a shovel or roller, or by tack- ing a netting over it. Commercial applications of wood fibers combined with various seeds and fertilizers (hydraulic mulching) are effec- , �, tive in stabiiizing sloped areas. - Hydraulic mulching with a tackifier should be done in two separate appli- � . . _ , , � • ' cations: the frst composed of seed fertilizer and halfthe muich, the second composed of the remaining mulch and tackifiei Cornmer- cial hydraulic muIch applicators — who also provide other erosion control services — are Iisted �nder "landscapi ng" in the phone book. �-- r""--_ .y :2`%i;:;a�$i::::}'':.::�?; � `::::.,i::`.;'F::':::',::"': ..;;Y.qNi�c F'a:p�;•;•ti;i;:n ��>y.l(:�;.i ^i::S;,':i:'`':; Si:':i4'i ;nrp:;; . �� .��i•� ;:�`Y�:• 'v::��'� ...... '.:\� _ � � ' �:� Mats of excelsior, jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef- fective temporary covers, but they must be in contact with the soil and fastened securely to work effectively. Roof drataage can be collected in barrels or storage con- tainers or routed into Iawns, planter boxes and gardens. Be sure to cover stored water so you don't colIect mos- quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from your house. Too much water can damage trees and make foundations unstable. STRUC?URAL RUNOFF CONTROLS Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to protect disturbed areas from rainfaIl until the plants have time to establish themselves. Or you may need permanent ways to transport water across your property so that it doesn't cause erosion. To ke�p water from carrying soil from your site and dump- ing it into nearby Iots, streets, strearns and channels, you need ways to reduce its volume and speed.
