D. Restrict the areas and volumes to the minimum necessary to implement the planned development;
E. Ensure that grades, hillside slopes or other areas subject to erosion are stabilized;
F. Reduce the erosion effects of storm water discharge, preserve the flood-carrying capacity of natural or constructed waterways by limiting soil loss, and protect drainage ways from siltation;
G. Minimize dust pollution and surface water drainage from graded areas during grading and development;
H. Ensure grading activity is designed and implemented to minimize adverse impacts and include appropriate restorative measures;
I. Not impair surface drainage. [Resolution #1509, 2015; Ordinance #371, 2015; prior code § 7-11-7.]
