Erosion Hazard definition

Erosion Hazard means the threat of channel migration and/or down cutting, due to erosion during times of flooding, or erosion of the ground around a structure in such a manner as to threaten the stability of the structure.

Erosion Hazard means the susceptibility of a site to erosion, based on soils, conditions and steepness of a slope, rock type, vegetation, and other site factors.

Erosion Hazard means the loss of land, due to human or natural processes, which poses a threat to life and Property. The Erosion Hazard limit is determined using considerations that include the 100-year erosion rate (the average annual rate of recession extended over a one-hundred-year time span), an allowance for slope stability, and an erosion/erosion access allowance.

Erosion Hazard means the susceptibility of a site to erode, based on condition of slope, rock type, soil, and other site factors. High erosion hazard areas include areas of high and very high -erosion hazard shown on maps prepared by the Planning Department." Hazard may be deter- mined based on a site-specific investigation.

Erosion Hazard means areas identified as having high or very high water erosion hazard by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service as supplied by the SCS area office.

Erosion Hazard means the process of the wearing away of land masses. This peril is not per se covered under the program (see “flood-related erosion”). (Amended, Ord. No. 2011-11, 09/06/2011)
