1 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Single Family Dwellings Applications must be accompanied by: Fee and deposit(s) Schedule 2 Schedule 3 (if applicable) Form H Certificate of Insurance (naming Delta as an additional insurer, address of construction site and $5,000,000 liability insurance) Rodent Inspection and Control Declaration 1. Once you receive the Demolition and Highway Use Permits, you can now schedule the Tree Protection / Capping of Services inspections online. These two inspections can be scheduled together for the same day, or as separate inspections. Tree Protection Inspection: Inspector will attend the site, determining that all required trees have been protected as per Tree Bylaw. Note: Only minimum excavation work to expose the services will be permitted on the site at this stage in the process. Any excavation work done within the tree protection zone will require an arborist assessment report. Capping of Services: Inspector will attend the site, determining that the services (Sanitary, Storm, and Water) have been disconnected and capped in an approved manner. Note: The capping of services inspection must be accepted before the applicant is permitted to proceed. 2. Applicant schedules the Demolition / Boulevard Inspections online. These two inspections can be scheduled together for the same day, or as separate inspections. Demolition Inspection: Inspector will attend the site, determining that the lot is clear and all conditions of the Demolition Permit and Highway Use Permit have been met. Boulevard Inspection: Inspector will attend the site to determine if any damage has been done to: sidewalks, curbs, boulevards, etc. Note: Damage deposit will be released with Inspector s acceptance of this inspection. Additional Information: In archaeological sensitive areas we will require an archaeological survey report prepared by a BC Association of Professional Consulting Archaeologist prior to any digging or excavation on the property. At the Building Permit stage, Delta crews will replace or renew any 100 mm sanitary or storm services greater than 25 years old, and any 19 mm water service greater than 25 years old by installing a new service from the city main to your property line. For 100 mm sanitary and storm services, the flat fee will include the installation of an inspection chamber near the property line. Water service connection that is 19 mm or less installed at property line for a serviced lot, including meter chamber and components, the flat fee service rates are: water service $4,070, sanitary service $4,727 and storm service $2,636. For 19 mm water services less than 25 years old, Delta crews will perform an actual cost installation of a water meter on the existing service. For this work a deposit will be required, although you will be billed the full cost of this work, which may result in a refund or additional cost. For disconnection of service(s) a deposit will be required, although you will be billed the full cost of this work, which may result in a refund or additional cost. The City may choose to defer replacement of services for such reasons as recent road paving, etc. The flat fee will still be collected. Contact Us: or CPD@delta.ca Updated January 15, 2018

2 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Industrial / Commercial / Multi-Family Properties A demolition must not occur until a demolition permit application has been submitted, permit fee paid, the services capped and an approved demolition permit and highway use permit issued. Highway use permit is required. A protective barrier must be constructed to protect trees on the property and this must be inspected by a Delta Inspector prior to demolition. Please schedule your inspection online. Protection of storm system/silt fence/bag catch basins (on and off site). In archaeological sensitive areas we will require an archaeological survey report prepared by a BC Association of Professional Consulting Archaeologist prior to any digging or excavation on the property. Prior to issuing a Demolition Permit, the City of Delta requires property owners to provide a report by a qualified Pest Control company certifying that all buildings and structures have been inspected for pest infestation, specifically rats, and that if any were found, measures have been taken to remove them. Service connections will be temporarily discontinued at the main or property line by Delta. Applicable fees and deposit will be collected at time of permit issuance. If all serviced structures on the property are being demolished, the applicant will be required to cap all existing sanitary, storm and water services at the property line. The applicant must expose and disconnect/cap the sanitary, storm and water services and leave them exposed for a confirmation inspection by a Delta Plumbing Inspector or Development Technologist. In instances where a water service requires shutting off, applicants should call Engineering at for assistance. To book an inspection, please call the 24 hour Inspection Request Service at Where more than one building exists on a property and shall remain after demolition, on-site discontinuation will be required by the applicant. The applicant must expose and disconnect/cap the sanitary, storm and water services and leave them exposed for a confirmation inspection by a Delta Plumbing Inspector. In instances where a water service requires shutting off, applicants should call Engineering at for assistance. Please schedule your inspection online. The work is to be done in accordance with the BC Plumbing Code. The applicant must place marker stakes to identify the location of the services as follows: Water (Blue); Sanitary (Red); Storm (Green). This will assist municipal forces when new services are installed and old services permanently discontinued or upgraded as part of a building permit application. Once the inspection is complete and disconnection/capping of services are confirmed, the demolition permit will be issued and the building may be removed. At building permit stage, new services will be installed as required. Existing services over 25 years old and those not suitable for the application will be permanently discontinued and new services installed at actual cost. Services under 25 years old and suitable for the application may remain. Contact Us: or CPD@delta.ca Updated January 15, 2018

4 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Excerpt from Land Development Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat Produced by the Habitat Management Division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Integrated Management Branch of the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. Silt Fences Silt Fences are related structures provide an effective filter for sediment-laden runoff from eroded slopes and surfaces. The fine openings do not allow the passage of sediment coarser than about 0.02 mm. Silt fences are effective boundary control devices, trapping the sediment close to the erosion source and preventing mobilization into runoff, but have a limited sediment retention capacity. Figure 3.3 illustrates some typical applications using silt fences for erosion control, and design parameters. Silt or filter fences should be installed on the lower perimeter of slopes (lower 1/3 to 1/2 of site) and areas where the erodibility is high and/or it is desirable to contain waterborne movement of eroded soils. Such areas include the bottom of cut or fill slopes, material stockpiles and disturbed natural areas. Filter fabric or geotextile may be a pervious sheet or slit film woven polypropylene, nylon, polyester, or ethylene yarn, having the following properties: o Minimum Filtering Efficiency 90% o Minimum Flow Rate 0.012m 3 /m 2 /minute o Minimum Grab Tensile Strength 700 N. o Minimum Equivalent Opening Size 0.15 mm (median 0.21 mm) If standard strength filter fabric is used it must be backed by a wire fence supported on posts not over 2.0 meters apart. Fabric joints should be lapped at least 0.15 meters and stapled. The bottom edge should be anchored in a 0.30 meter deep trench, or some equivalent manner, to prevent flow under the fence. If the filter fabric decomposes or becomes ineffective, it must be replaced and the fence repaired. Contact Us: or CPD@delta.ca last updated July 2017

6 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Guidelines for Control of Deleterious Substances Common deleterious substances: sediments, raw and uncured concrete, mortar, glues, paints, lubricants, organic and inorganic contaminants, fuels and oils, can have detrimental or toxic effects on the aquatic environment and fish life (see Appendix 1 for definitions of deleterious substances ). In most instances, the control of these substances can be dealt with through an awareness of their detrimental effects, the practice of good housekeeping (i.e. daily site clean ups, use of disposal bins, etc.) on the development project site, and the proper use, storage and disposal of such substances and their containers. The following control guidelines should be reviewed by the developer and construction contractor to ensure no deleterious substances are released into fish habitat. Raw or uncured waste concrete and grouts should be disposed of by removal from the development site or by burial on the site in a location and in a manner that will not impact on a watercourse. Wash down waters from exposed aggregate surfaces, cast-in-place concrete and from concrete trucks should be trapped onsite to allow sediment to settle out and reach neutral ph before the clarified water is released to the storm drain system or allowed to percolate into the ground (approximately 48 hours). Fuels, lubricants and hydraulic fluids for equipment used on the development site should be carefully handled to avoid spillage, properly secured against unauthorized access or vandalism and provided with spill containment according to codes of practice. Fuelling and lubricating of equipment onsite should only be done after the equipment to be serviced is moved to a constructed service pad with a separate drainage collection system, as far as possible from detention or sedimentation facilities and leave strips. Any spillage of fuels, lubricants or hydraulic oils should be immediately contained and the contaminated soil removed from the site and properly disposed of in accordance with the federal Department of Environment Environmental Protection (DOE/EP) and the provincial Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks Environmental Protection Division (MOELP/EPD) requirements. Any spills should be reported immediately to DOE/EP (phone: ) and MOELP/EPD (phone ) for their counsel on appropriate clean up procedures. Hydraulic fluids for machinery used for in stream work should be biodegradable in case of accidental loss of fluid Waste oils and hydraulic fluids should be collected in leak-proof containers and removed from the site for proper disposal or recycling. The rinse and cleaning water or solvents for glues, paints, wood preservatives, and other potentially harmful or toxic substances on the development site should be controlled so as to prevent leakage, loss or discharge into the storm drain system. Gypsum board wastes must be removed from the project site, preferably to a recycling facilities, or an approved disposal sites (disposal of gypsum board wastes by burying onsite is not permitted). Wood wastes, such as hog fuel, sawdust and wood chips, are not acceptable fill material because of the potential release of toxic leachates from these wood wastes into the aquatic environment. Where land is being redeveloped and there is contamination of the site, those contaminants must be removed, disposed of, or otherwise neutralized, as prescribed by DOE/EP and MOELP/EPD, prior to proceeding with redevelopment of the affected lands. Potential mitigation and costs of contaminant removal are the responsibility of the land owner. Contact Us: or CPD@delta.ca last updated July 2017

7 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Guidelines for Development Site Access Significant release of sediments to the drainage systems and receiving waters can be caused by site access development and lack of control during land development and building construction activities. Included in the design of proper site access for minimizing potential impacts are: Construction site accesses should be restricted in number and to locations that will serve as permanent access after development. Access pads and roads should be constructed prior to site area development, and in a manner that will prevent the loosening of native subsoil. Access roads should be constructed or topped with a suitable coarse, granular material with a minimum of fines and clays. Non-woven geotextile is recommended as a separation layer over the native subgrade. Organic topsoil should be stripped prior to road construction if possible and removed offsite or stockpiled. Wood wastes, such as hog fuel, sawdust and wood chips are not acceptable for the construction of access roads and support operations because of the potential release of toxic leachates from these wood wastes into the aquatic environment. Runoff from the access roads should be collected via interceptor ditches or swales. These flows should be routed to sediment ponds to allow the settling of sediments before release to the drainage system. Sweeping of loose soils from surfaced streets is recommended over water flushing to prevent soil entry into storm drains and the aquatic environment. Transport of excavated materials from the site should limit spillage on adjacent road surfaces and dropping of loose soils in the form of dust or mud from wheels, tracks and undercarriages of equipment. Guidelines for Single Lot Development The objective during the development of an individual lot is to minimize erosion and release of sediment offsite by controlling the development and construction activities. Single lot erosion and sediment control measures include: planning the construction access, minimizing clearing and grading activities, control of excavated soil stockpiles, surface and slope preparations, and surface runoff control. Site layout and Clearing Individual lot development should be designed and constructed to have regards to the general principles of erosion, and sediment control. Specifically: Design and layout of the building site to minimize impervious areas. Retain existing vegetation and ground cover where possible. Schedule construction to dry months of the year. Restrict vehicle access and provide a surface working area of crush gravel; 4.5m wide and length to suit construction site. Minimize clearing and stripping of setbacks and easements. Clearly mark building area and clearing boundaries onsite. Road surface sweeping when required, with no flushing loose dirt off to roadways. Contact Us: or CPD@delta.ca last updated July 2017

8 Demolition Permits & Discontinuing Service Connections Soil Erosion Control Surface soil erosion from individual lots and building sites is generated mainly from soil excavations and graded areas. To minimize erosion onsite the following should apply: Cover temporary fills or soil stockpiles with polyethylene, or tarps, and provide silt fencing around stockpiles. Re-vegetate or final landscape disturbed areas as soon as practically possible. Limit machine access and operation to prepared access areas only. Drainage and sediment Control Site drainage features can usually incorporate sediment control features to limit the offsite transport of sediments directly into watercourses or into storm drainage systems that discharge into watercourse: Divert runoff away from cleared areas by use of swales or low berms. Utilize silt fences around soil stockpiles and sloped areas. Collect runoff into site sediment traps prior to discharge offsite. Storm sewer inlet protect for catch basins from silt by way of siltation filter sock inserts. Figure 3.6 illustrates a typical lot development plan with erosion and sediment control features.

23 Tree Protection on Development Sites The City of Delta aims to preserve and protect trees by: Encouraging the preservation of existing trees and significant vegetation as wildlife habitat; Retaining as many trees as possible during site development or redevelopment; and Protecting mature trees, heritage trees and urban forests. What you need to know Trees should not be removed in advance of submitting your development application; Cutting of trees greater than 20 cm (8 ) diameter requires a permit under Delta Tree Cutting Regulation Bylaw No ; Trees to be protected, including trees on adjacent streets and properties, must be identified on all plans submitted for permits; Efforts should be made to retain as many trees as possible. In most cases, a report about the condition of trees on the property, prepared by a certified arborist, must be submitted with your application; For trees that are approved to be cut, the replacement ratio is a minimum of 2 for 1 but may be higher depending on the recommendations of the arborist; Retained trees are to be protected by fencing to Delta standards prior to any building, demolition, servicing works or construction (see reverse for fencing specifications); Demolition and building permits will be issued only after a successful inspection of tree protection measures; If trees have been damaged during the development process, or cut without a permit, or if any other contravention of a development approval or permit occurs, possible implications include stop work orders, construction delays, requirements for tree replacement, or fines; In cases where new tree planting is required, security will be taken at the time of building permit issuance and may be held to cover installation and maintenance; Tree protection barriers are not to be removed until the Building Inspector gives approval to do so; and It is the responsibility of the owner to determine if a Tree Protection Covenant is registered on the title of the property. A covenant is a legal agreement and remains in effect when ownership of the property is transferred to another party. The new owner is responsible for upholding the agreements. Contravention of such agreements may result in substantial tree replacement costs. City of Delta Engineering 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent Delta, BC V4K 3E2 T F engineering@delta.ca Updated
