(a) Permanent or temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days after final grade is reached on any portion of the site. Any such area which will not be regraded for longer than fifteen days shall also be stabilized.
Soil stabilization refers to measures which protect soil from the erosive forces of raindrop impact and flowing water. Application practices include vegetative establishment, mulching and the early application of gravel base on areas to be paved. Soil stabilization measures should be selected to be appropriate for the time of year, site conditions and estimated time of use.
(b) Soil stockpiles shall be stabilized or protected with sediment trapping measures to prevent soil loss.
