The following requirements shall be met on all sites.
(A) Appropriate erosion control measures shall be installed prior to any land disturbing activity and thereafter whenever necessary.
(B) Sediment-laden water flowing from the site shall be detained by erosion control measures appropriate to minimize sedimentation.
(C) Water shall not be discharged from the site in a manner that causes erosion at or downstream of the point of discharge.
(D) All access to disturbed sites that cross a natural watercourse, ditch, drainage easement, or swale/channel shall have a culvert of appropriate size, or low water crossing which does not impede the flow of water.
(E) (1) Wastes or unused building materials, including, but not limited to, garbage, debris, cleaning wastes, wastewater, toxic materials, and hazardous substances, shall not be carried by runoff from a site.
(2) All wastes shall be disposed of in a proper manner.
(F) Soil being tracked from a site onto public or private roadways shall be minimized. This can be accomplished initially by a temporary gravel construction entrance, in addition to a well-planned layout of roads, access drives, and parking areas.
(G) Public or private roadways shall be kept cleared of accumulated sediment. Bulk clearing of sediment shall not include flushing the area with water. Accumulated sediment shall be returned to the point of origin in a timely fashion not to exceed 24 hours.
(H) All storm drain inlets shall be protected against sedimentation with barriers meeting accepted criteria, standards, and specifications as specified in § 151.050.
(I) Runoff passing through a site from adjacent areas should be controlled by diverting it around disturbed areas within the site where practical. Diverted runoff shall be conveyed in a manner that will not erode the channel and receiving areas. Alternatively, the existing channel may be left undisturbed or improved to prevent erosion or sedimentation from occurring.
(J) Drainage ways and swales shall be designed and adequately protected so that their final gradients and resultant velocities will not cause channel or outlet scouring.
(K) All disturbed ground left inactive for seven or more days shall be stabilized by seeding, sodding, mulching, covering, or by other equivalent erosion control measures.
(L) During the entire period of land disturbing activity at a site, the owner of the site shall maintain erosion control measures necessary to meet the requirements of this subchapter until the entire site is stabilized.
