George W. Kuhn - Oakland County Drain Commissioner - Public Act No. 347 of 1972
Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Enforcing Agent - Oakland County Implementation Procedures
I. EFFECTIVE DATE - These procedures become effective on January 1, 1975.
II. INTENT OF IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES - To provide guidelines and information to the
Department of Natural Resources and citizens of Oakland County as to how the provisions of the Soil
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act No. 347 of the Public Acts of 1972, as amended, hereafter referred
to as the "Sediment Act", will be administered by the Oakland County designated agent, George W. Kuhn,
Commissioners Minutes Continued, November 21, 1974 399
Oakland County Drain Commissioner. The "General Rules", as adopted by the Department of Natural
Resources, Water Resources Commission, apply and are incorporated into these procedures.
III. GOAL OF THE SEDIMENT ACT - Soil erosion and sedimentation is a slow, continuous,
naturally occurring process that has had 9reat influence on the. geologic nonfour, configuration and
structure or this country us it exists today. The term Yea' :on' is defined as the -detachment of
particles of soil from the earth's land surface through the action of wind, water, ice or gravity.
These detached particles are known as- sediment, and the transportetion and deposit of this sediment
to a location different from its origin is defined as hseditm...n•ationh,
The problem of erosion and sedimentation has increased greatly due to the recent trend
towards greater urbanization. Urbanization exaggerates the problem because the balance nature has
developed between rainfall and runoff is disrupted during construction without providing compensation.
The result is "accelerated soil erosion", which is defined as the increased loss of land surface as a
direct result of man's activities. The sediment generated from accelerated soil erosion ultimately
ends up being deposited in "waters of the state" with much ecological, as well as monetary damage
being incurred- in the process.
The prime goal of the "Sediment Act" i5 to achieve effective and reasonable control of
accelerated soil erosion. This is to be accomplished by using the hest prictical combination of pro-
cedures ; techniques and people to prevent sediment, the product of accelerated soil erosion, from
leaving the construction site and reaching the "waters of the state". This is to be accomplished by
the enforcement of Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Programs by agencies on the county or local level.
in Oakland County, Michigan, Drain Commissioner George W. Kuhn was designated on July 19, 1973, by
resolution of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, as the County agent to implement and administer
the "Sediment Act". The three objectives of the Oakland County program are as follows:
1. To protect our lakes, streams, rivers, drains and water-courses from unnecessary
degradation due to sedimentation.
2, To preserve high quality water essential to man and the health of our natural environment,
3. To protect vital land resources from erosion,
IV. LANDS TO WHICH OAKLAND COUNTY PROGRAM APPLIES - The "Sediment Act", as administered by
the Oakland County Drain Commissioner, shall apply to earth changes on land solely within Oakland
County that (1) does not fall within the legal boundaries of any city, village or charter township
granted the status of "local enforcing agency" by the Department of Natural Resources, Water Resources
Commission, or (2) that is not part of an earth disruption project undertaken by a state, local or
county agency that has been granted by the Department of Natural Resources, Water Resources Commis-
sion, the status of "authorized public agency" to enact and enforce their own soil erosion and sediment
control programs.
V. OBTAINING AN EROSION CONTROL PERMIT -
A. PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
1. A land owner or developer who contracts for allows or engages in an earth change
in Oakland County, Michigan, except for the exemptions described in Section IV., shall obtain a permit
from the Oakland County Drain Commissioner prior to commencement of an earth change which is connected
with any of the following land use activities that disturbs one or more acres of land or is within 500
feet of a lake or stream.
a. Transportation facilities, including streets, highways, railroads, airports, common carrier
pipelines and mass transit facilities, except normal maintenance procedures such as earth or gravel
road leveling and minor repairs or alterations to rights of way not affecting a lake or stream.
b. Subdivision or lot development as defined by section 102 of Act No. 288 of the Public Acts
of 1967, being section 560,102 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, mobile home parks and multiple housing,
and the preparation of a site for a single family residence and except normal maintenance or landscaping
activities or both:
c. industrial or commercial development, except normal maintenance or landscaping activities
or both.
d. Service facilities, including but not limited to shopping centers and schools, except
normal maintenance or landscaping activities or both.
e. Recreational facilities, including but not limited to parks, campgrounds or trails, except
normal maintenance or landscaping activities or both.

installation, service lines and other earth changes of a minor nature, normal maintenance and emergency
repairs.
g. Oil, gas and mineral wells, except the installation of those wells under permit from the
supervisor of wells to be in compliance with the conditions of the sediment act.
h. Water impoundments and waterway construction or improvements.
2. Exemptions provided in Section V„ subsection A (1) shall not be construed as
exemptions from enforcement procedures pursuant to the uSediment Act" or these procedures, if the
activities exempted cause or result in a violation of the "Sediment Act" or produce a significant
erosion hazard or sediment problem,
B. PERMIT EXEMPTIONS (Grandfather Clause) - Unless determined by this office that an
earth change project is creating a severe soil erosion or sedimentation problem; requirements of
Section V., subsection A are not applicable to existing projects on which firm bids have been taken
or awarded prior to March 1, 1975. (Which is 60 days after the effective date of these implementation
procedures.)

Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 21, 1974
C. APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT
1. General - An application for a permit shall be submitted to the Oakland County
Drain Commissioner's office by any person proposing to undertake an earth change, as defined in
Section V., subsection A. In the. case of land development, the application shall he submitted by
either the land owner, or the land developer, or in their absence, an agent authorized by the owner
or developer.
2. Application Forms - The application shall include two separate written applica-
tion forms, both of which will be. furnished to the applicant by this office. They will consist of

3. Time of Application - Application for a permit under these procedures shall be
made prior to the start of any work including construction of access roads, driveways, tree and shrub
removal or grading. Any such unauthorized work will he considered a violation of these procedures
regardless of any later actions taken toward compliance. Soil test borings, vegetative cutting for
land surveys and percolation test efforts will not be considered a start of work under these procedures.
4. Sequential Applications - On those projects so large or so complex that a plan
encompassing all phases of the project cannot reasonably be prepared prior to initial ground-breaking,
application for permit on successive major incremental earth change activities may he submitted.
All permits issued on this basis will be clearly defined as to nature and extent
of work covered. Any earth change beyond, or subsequent to, that described on the permit must be
covered by a separate approved plan before it may be undertaken.

prescribed erosion control permit will be issued to the applicant by the Oakland County Drain Commis-
sioner.
402
Commissioners Minutes Continued, November 21, 1974
4. Said permit to be issued only after the applicant has paid to this office the soil
erosion permit fee, as stated hereinafter in Section XI.
5. On projects requiring a bond, permit will not be issued Until the applicant has
posted with this office a bond in the amount and the form stated hereinafter In Section X.
6. The soil erosion permit, or a copy thereof, along with a complete set of the approved
soil erosion and sedimentation control plans, shall be available at the site of the earth change for
inspection at all times.
VI. EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES
A. GENERAL
The erosion and sedimentation control measures prescribed hereinafter shall in in-
corporated into the soil erosion and sedimentation control plans, as described in Section V., sub-
section D, unless the person preparing the plans demonstrates to the Oakland County Drain Commissioner
that proposed alternatives to these procedures will be superior in the prevention of accelerated soil
erosion and its resulting sedimentation.
B. CONTROL MEASURES
I. All earth change activities shall be designed, constructed and completed in such
a manner so as to limit both the area and time of earth disruption to the practical minimum.
2. Sediment caused by accelerated soil erosion shall he removed from runoff water
before it leaves the site of the earth change activity.
3. All temporary and permanent facilities constructed for the conveyance of storm
runoff around, through or from the earth change area shall be designed to limit the flow to a non-
erosive velocity.
4. Temporary soil erosion and sedimentation control facilities shall be removed only
after permanent soil erosion control measures have been implemented,
5. Permanent soil erosion control measures for all slopes, channels, ditches or any
disturbed land area shall be completed within 15 calendar days after final grading or the final earth
change has been completed.
6. During the non-growing season, when it is net possible to permanently stabilize
a disturbed area after an earth change has been completed, or where significant earth change activity
ceases, temporary soil erosion control measures shall be implemented within a period not exceeding 30
calendar days.
7. All temporary soil erosion control measures shall be maintained until permanent
soil erosion control measures are implemented.
C. DESIGN PRINCIPLES
1. The development should be planned and designed to fit the topography of the site.
2. The smallest practical area of and should be exposed for the shortest possible
period of time.
3. Soil erosion control practices should be applied as first line of defense against
onsite damage, thereby decreasing the amount of sediment that is generated.
4. Sediment control practices should be applied as a second line of defense to prevent
any sediment that is generated during construction from leaving the site.
5. A thorough maintenance and follow-up operation should be implemented, as a site
cannot be effectively controlled without thorough, periodic checks of erosion and sediment control
practices.
VII. SOURCES OF DESIGN CRITERIA
