§ 801-40. Erosion control measures.

The erosion control plan shall include the use of erosion control measures recommended by the Soil Conservation Service for use during and after construction.

A. 

Erosion minimalization. Stripping of vegetation, soil removal and regrading shall be accomplished so as to minimize erosion.

B. 

Duration of exposure. The duration of exposure of disturbed area shall be kept to a practical minimum.

C. 

Temporary erosion control. Temporary vegetation and/or mulching shall be used to protect exposed critical areas during development.

D. 

Permanent erosion control installation. Permanent (final) vegetation and mechanical measures to stabilize the land surface and control erosion shall be installed as soon as practicable after construction ends.

E. 

Protection of permanent drainage facilities. Until a disturbed area is stabilized, permanent drainage facilities, including but not limited to catch basins, pipes, retention basins, grass swales and infiltration devices, shall be protected from sediment in runoff water by the use of temporary drainage facilities such as debris basins, sediment basins, silt traps or other acceptable methods.

F. 

Dust control. During grading operations, methods of dust control shall be employed wherever practicable.
