(B) A brief description of the development for which the application is submitted. (C) A scale drawing depicting the boundaries of the site, the location of the development on the site, the location of the relevant excavation, and the drainage patterns on the site in the vicinity of the excavation. (D) A brief description of each feature uncovered by the excavation. (3) Each application under this section must be accompanied by a geologic assessment of the features prepared by a qualified geologist, and by a fee set by the city council. The geologic assessment must include the geologist's recommendation for addressing the features, with reference to the nature of the excavation and any improvements proposed for placement in or near the excavation. The recommendation may include the use of temporary or permanent BMPs, or a change in the character or location of proposed improvements, or any other reasonable means of ensuring that the development or improvements will not result in pollution to the aquifer.
