(1) Delineation of steep slope areas. For the purpose of application of these regulations, slope shall be measured over three or more two-foot contour intervals (six cumulative vertical feet of slope). All slope measurements shall be determined by a topographic survey signed and sealed by a licensed surveyor or engineer.

(2) The plan depicting the areas of steep slope and any proposed uses shall be prepared by a professional engineer, landscape architect, and/or surveyor and licensed by the New York State Department of Education. The plan as submitted shall accurately delineate the areas of moderately steep slope and/or very steep slope, the proposed use(s), and a topographical survey with contour elevations at no greater than two-foot intervals, where feasible.

(3) A separate plan depicting and quantifying the proposed modifications to the existing topography and vegetative cover.

(4) The use of stormwater control devices and erosion control measures as specified in Article XVIII.

(5) Specifications for building construction and materials, including filling, grading, storage of materials, and water supply and sewerage facilities.
