An erosion and sedimentation control plan may be disapproved if the plan fails to address the following control objectives:
(A) Identify critical areas. On-site areas which are subject to severe erosion, and off-site areas which are especially vulnerable to damage from erosion and/or sedimentation, are to be identified and receive special attention.
(B) Limit time of exposure. All land-disturbing activity is to be planned and conducted to limit exposure to the shortest feasible time.
(C) Limit exposed areas. All land-disturbing activity is to be planned and conducted to minimize the size of the area to be exposed at any one time.
(D) Control surface water. Surface water runoff originating upgrade of exposed areas should be controlled to reduce erosion and sediment loss during the period of exposure.
(E) Control sedimentation. All land-disturbing activity is to be planned and conducted so as to prevent off-site sedimentation damage.
(F) Manage storm water runoff. When the increase in the velocity of storm water runoff resulting from a land-disturbing activity is sufficient to cause accelerated erosion of the receiving watercourse, plans are to include measures to control the velocity at the point of discharge so as to minimize accelerated erosion of the site and increased sedimentation of the stream.
