WHEREAS, the application of agricultural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) is an effective method of sedimentation control.
NCW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that it is 'the intent of the City Council
of the City of Tustin to investigate the need for developing and adopting an
ordinance which includes the following requirements:
·
Agriculture landowners are to develop a resource conservation plan
(RCP) for agricultural sedimentation control.
2. The RCPs are to be developed through the use of U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Staff or with the aid of a registered
agricultural engineer consultant to the landowner.
3. RCPs are to be based upon the priority system developed from the
SCS "Soil Erosion Hazard Map". Those areas with high erosion
hazard designation should receive top priority for the preparation
of conservation plans and the implementation of BMPs.
·
RCPs for high erosion areas are to be prepared as soon as possible
and no later than November 1982 and voluntary implementation of
these plans should occur by November 1983.
5. RCPs for other erosion areas are to be prepared by November 1984;
implementation should occur by November 1985 of BMPs which the SCS
has determined to be minimally necessary for the proper management
of the given land use.
6. Any ordinance adopted will encourage implementation in all areas by
November 1987 of BMP alternatives which may be essential or
desireable but which must be determined on a site-specific basis.
·
The City shall approve each RCP, with criteria for approval to be
established by the Orange County Resource Conservation Districts.
·
Agricultural land users will be encouraged to participate in all
available financial and technical assistance pr .ograms for the
development and implementation of BMPs, especially those offered by
the Secretary of Agriculture under the Agricultural Conservation
Program.
BE IT FURI~ER RESOLVED THAT:
Should the City of Tustin adopt an ordinance using the above guidelines:
·
·
The progress of RCP preparation will be monitored by the City of
Tustin and reported to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control
Board through quarterly progress reports. The progress reports are
to list new plans, implementation schedules, percentage of erosion
hazard area under plans and any update of existing plans.
The City of Tustin, consistant with its primary responsibility for
land use practices within its jurisdictional boundaries, shall take
appropriate action to strengthen its management control strat ~egy
