Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Thomas Cech, Village Engineer, was in attendance to make a presentation
on soil erosion and sedimentation control. Cech explained that control of
soil erosion and sedimentation is a relatively new concept in urban areas.
Most of the development and application of soil erosion techniques have
occurred in rural settings. Cech further stated that the Village should
have an ordinance controlling soil erosion due to the problems sediment
causes in Village sewers. In addition, soil erosion has become more of
a problem during current economic times (i.e. , construction slowdowns)
because the most dangerous time for erosion of soil is during the middle
stages of development (which many areas of the Village are at now) .
Cech informed the Commission of his intent to rewrite the entire
Subdivision Control Ordinance and include in that rewrite a section for
soil erosion and sedimentation control. Cech distributed a preliminary
outline of the proposed rewrite. Cech pointed out that many of the
revisions are technical in nature and are aimed at attaining state-of-
the-art status.
Cummins requested that the Plan Commission be allowed to review
the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control section of the revised
Subdivision Control Ordinance when it is complete.
Cech presented photographs, taken March 17, 1982, of various areas
throughout the Village which display symptons of soil erosion and
sedimentation.
