Unless otherwise express ly stated herein, all references <br /> to section, subsection and chapter numbers are to those of the <br /> Dane County Code of Ordinances. <br /> II. Sections 14. 50 through 14.57, inclusive, are created to <br /> read as follows : <br /> 14.50 AUTHORITY. Sections 14. 50 through 14 . 57 , inclusive, are <br /> created under the authority of sec. 59 . 974 of the Wisconsin <br /> Statutes. <br /> 14.51 DEFINITIONS. As used in sections 14. 52 through 14. 57, <br /> inclusive, the following words have the definitions indicated: <br /> (1) "LCC" means the Dane County Land Conservation Committe <br /> created under sec. 92. 06 of the Wisconsin Statutes . <br /> (2) "LCC staff" refers to staff of the Land Conservation <br /> Committee as authorized under s. 92. 09 of the Wisconsin Statutes. <br /> (3) "Plan" means the erosion control plan required by sec. <br /> 14. 53. <br /> 14.52 LEGISLATIVE FINDING. The county board of supervisors of <br /> Dane County finds that soil erosion from construction activities <br /> ' may be 10 to 100 times greater than erosion from agricultural <br /> activities on lands of equal size, slope and soil type. <br /> Construction activities and subsequent development can disturb <br /> natural cover and land surfaces resulting in a change in runoff <br /> patterns that may have a detrimental effect on water quality and <br /> downstream uses. Further , effective sediment and storm water <br /> management depends upon proper planning , design and timely <br /> installation of conservation practices as well as continu- <br /> maintenance practices. 017 <br />
