(a) Properties adjacent to the site, including public land and waters of the state shall be protected from sediment deposition resulting from land disturbance during construction. This may be accomplished by preserving a well vegetated buffer strip around the lower perimeter of the land disturbance, by installing perimeter controls such as sediment barriers, filters or dikes, or sediment basins, or by a combination of such measures.
(b) When water must be pumped for the purposes of dewatering such as culvert construction, storm sewer construction or pond maintenance/construction, this water must pass through a filtering device or onto well vegetated soil on the property where construction is occurring before entering adjacent properties or drainage ways.
