A perimeter/outfall protection permit may only be issued after the review and acceptance of a perimeter control plan.
(A) Securing the perimeter prior to any land disturbance will decrease off-site sedimentation once construction has begun. Perimeter protection shall focus on downstream points and outfall areas and does not necessitate protection of the entire site boundary. Efforts shall be focused on those areas where water flow is most likely to exit the project site.
(B) Clearing, except that necessary to establish sediment control devices, shall not begin until all sediment control devices have been installed and have been stabilized. Sediment control devices prevent eroded soil from leaving the project site through the site perimeter or outfalls.
(C) Contractors shall install sediment control measures and regularly inspect and maintain the facilities throughout construction.
(D) Compliance with this chapter requires that a perimeter control plan be developed, submitted, approved and implemented before any clearing or stripping.
