Runoff and erosion control systems shall be installed as soon as possible during the course of site development. Detention/retention basins shall be designed with an additional 6% of available capacity to allow for sediment accumulation resulting from development and to permit the pond to function for reasonable periods between cleanings. Basins should be designed to collect sediment and debris in specific locations so that removal costs are kept to a minimum.
