Section J110 is amended by adding a new subsection, J110.3 (Storm water runoff) to read as follows:

J110.3 Storm water runoff. All work which will disturb the ground surface may be prohibited or stopped by the City Engineer and/or Building Official during times in which in his/her opinion there is a likelihood of rainfall causing damage to the site or to public or other private property. Projects not scheduled for completion prior to October 15th of any year, or started between October 15th and May 1st, must provide an interim drainage and erosion control plan for City approval. The approved controls must be installed by October 15th of any year. When required by the City Engineer or Building Official, a deposit in an amount established by resolution of the City Council shall be paid to the Community Development Department at the time the building permit is issued. The purpose of this deposit is to guarantee that any damage resulting from storm water runoff will be promptly repaired. This deposit is in addition to any other deposit required under any City ordinance or resolution.
