sedimentation, and other stormwater related problems identified/n subsection 1 above. To carry-out the intent of the these rules,/t is the goal of the City's erosion prevention program to review and respond to all erosion permit applications in a timely manner so that these provisions do not increase the time frame for issuing other permits. These rules are designed to provide developers and property owners with broad discretiotl 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 irt 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 re~4ew by the City. The issuance of an erosion prevent/on permit by the City w/il not necessarily reflect concurrence by the City that the proposed measures will work. Instead, the City's review may be more limited in many cases, relying on the certification of the ovmers' 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 antic/pared 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. If the erosion prevention measures have not been successful in achieving those outcomes, the City may require the submission of an amended construction site management plan or implementation of other changes or measures that will ensure compliance in achiev'mg the outcomes.
