(kk) REDEVELOPMENT: The demolition or removal of existing structures or land uses and construction of new ones. (11) RETENTION BASIN: A storm water management pond that maintains a permanent pool of water. These storm water management ponds include a properly engineered/designed volume dedicated to the temporary storage and slow release of runoff waters. (mm) RIPARIAN AREA: This shall mean land adjacent to watercourses that if naturally vegetated and/or appropriately revegetated and appropriately sized, limits erosion, reduces flood flows, and/or filters and settles out runoff pollutants, or which performs other functions consistent with the purposes of these regulations. (nn) RIPARIAN SETBACK: Those lands within the City which are alongside streams, and which fall within the area defined by the criteria set forth in these regulations. (oo) SEDIMENT: Solid material, both mineral and organic, that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved from its site of origin by wind, water, gravity or ice, and has come to rest on the earth's surface either on dry land or in a body of water. (pp) SEDIMENT CONTROL: The limiting of sediment being transported, by controlling erosion or detaining sediment-laden water, and allowing the sediment to settle out. (qq) SEDIMENT POLLUTION: A failure to use management or conservation practices to control wind or water erosion of the soil and to minimize the degradation of water resources by soil sediment in conjunction with land grading, excavating, filling, or other soil disturbing activities on land used or being developed for commercial, industrial, residential, or other purposes. (rr) SENSITIVE AREA: An area or water resource that requires special management because of its susceptibility to sediment pollution, or because of its importance to the wellbeing of the surrounding communities, region, or the state and includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Ponds, wetlands or small lakes with less than five acres of surface area; 2. Small streams with gradients less than ten feet per mile with average annual flows of less than 3.5 feet per second containing sand or gravel bottoms. 3. Drainage areas of a locally designated or an Ohio designated Scenic River. 4. Riparian and wetland areas. (ss) SHEET FLOW: Water runoff in a thin uniform layer or rills and which is of small enough quantity to be treated by sediment barriers. (tt) SILVICULTURE: The theory and practice of controlling forest establishment, composition and growth. (uu) SLIP: A landslide as defined under "Landslides." 8
