sedimentation, and other stormwater related problems identified in subsection 1 above. To carry -out the intent of the these rules, it is the goal of the City's erosion prevention program to reviewand respond to all erosioupermit applications in atimelymanner so that these provisions do not increase the time flatus for issuing other permits. These rules are designed to provide developers and property owners with broad discretion for addressing potential impacts of construction related activities, so long as the erosion prevention measures achieve the desired outcomes'. 'Therefore, except for the wet -weather requirements contained in R -6.645-D-2, these rules do not specify or mandate the use of certain erosion prevention measures, and instead, provide applicants with flexibility to choose or design erosion prevention measures subject to review by the City., The issuance of an erosion prevention permit by the City will not necessarily reflect concurrence by the City that the proposed measures will work. Instead, the City's review maybe more limited in many cases, relying on the certification of the owners' certified professional' that the proposed measures will achieve the mandated outcomes. In such cases, the City's review may be limited to making an evaluation that the proposed measures address anticipated impacts. Where the City is uncertain about the likely success of the proposed measures, the City may issue the permit, and monitor the site to determine whether the measures are achieving the outcomes. 'Ifthe.erosionprevention measures have not been successful in achieving those outcomes, the City tray require the submission of an amended construction site management plan or implementation of other changes or measures that will ensure compliance in achieving the outcomes.
