Submit updated erosion control plan showing the catch basin protection for the proposed catch basin in the parking lot. 2. Submit updated landscape plan showing an acceptable seeding plan for those portions of the site that will require re- vegetation (i.e. north of parking lot). 3. In accordance with Section 9.0 of the BCWD Rules, you are required to submit and file with the BCWD, in a form approved by staff, a surety in the amount of $5,000. Attached are forms for the Performance Bond and Letter of Credit, each of which is an acceptable surety for a permittee under section 9.0. Other forms of surety (such as a cash escrow) may be acceptable but would need to be approved by the District. 4. You must sign and return the enclosed permit. After we receive the signed permit, we will return a fully executed copy to you for your records.
