    The City of Mission, Kansas.
    DESIGN MANUAL
    Those provisions incorporated by reference from the document captioned "Division 5100 Erosion and Sediment Control" approved and adopted on August 13, 2003 and "Division II Construction and Material Specifications Section 2150 Erosion and Sediment Control" approved and adopted on May 21, 2008 published by the Kansas City Metropolitan Chapter American Public Works Association.
    DIRECTOR
    The Director of Public Works or the Director's authorized representative.
    EROSION
    The process by which the ground surface is worn away by the action of the wind, water, ice, gravity or artificial means.
    LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITY
    Any activity that changes the physical conditions of land form, vegetation and hydrology, creates bare soil or otherwise may cause erosion or sedimentation. Such activities include, but are not limited to, clearing, removal of vegetation, stripping, grading, grubbing, excavating, filling, logging and storing of materials.
    LD PERMIT
    The permit issued by the Director and which authorizes the LD permit holder to proceed with the land disturbing activities.
    LD PERMIT HOLDER
    The person who is issued a LD permit.
    PERENNIAL VEGETATION
    Grass or other appropriate natural growing vegetation that provides substantial land cover, erosion protection and soil stability and that is capable of sustained and healthy growth over multiple years under the constraints of shade, temperature and moisture that will be prevalent on the site. For the purposes of this regulation, annual grasses that do not regenerate after winter, ornamental plants or shrubs that do not offer effective erosion and sediment protection and plants that are not suitable for the expected growing conditions on the site shall not be considered perennial vegetation.
    PERSON
    Any individual, partnership, firm, company, corporation, association, joint stock company, trust, estate, governmental entity and any other legal entity.
    QUALIFIED EROSION CONTROL SPECIALIST

    REGULATION
    This erosion and sediment control regulation for the City of Mission, Kansas.
    SEDIMENT
    Any solid material, organic or inorganic, that has been deposited in water, is in suspension in water, is being transported or has been removed from its site of origin by wind, water, ice or gravity as result of soil erosion. Sedimentation is the process by which eroded material is transported and deposited by the action of wind, water, ice or gravity.

    STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
    A plan required by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and for which contents are specified by the Kansas Water Pollution Control General Permit and Authorization to Discharge Stormwater Runoff From Construction Activities (General Permit No. S-MCST-0110-1). The purpose of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is to help identify the sources of pollution that affect the quality of storm water discharges from a site and to describe and ensure the implementation of practices to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges and includes the erosion and Sediment Control Plan as well as plans to prevent pollution from other construction site sources such as, but not limited to, concrete washout, litter and sanitary waste.
