The following measures are declared to be effective in minimizing erosion and sedimentation and shall be included where applicable in the control plan:
(A) Stripping of vegetation, regrading, or other development shall be done in such a way as to minimize erosion;
(B) Development plans shall preserve salient natural features, keep cut-fill operations to a minimum and ensure conformity with topography so as to create the least erosion potential and adequately handle the volume of velocity of surface water runoff;
(C) Whenever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained, protected, and supplemented;
(D) The disturbed area and the duration of exposure shall be kept to a practical minimum;
(E) Disturbed soils shall be stabilized as quickly as possible;
(F) Temporary vegetation or mulching shall be used to protect exposed critical areas during development;
(G) The permanent final vegetation and structural erosion control and drainage measures shall be installed as soon as is practical in the development;
(H) Provisions shall be made to effectively accommodate the increased runoff caused by changed soil and surface conditions during and after development. Where necessary, the rate of surface water runoff will be structurally retarded; and
(I) Sediment in the runoff water shall be trapped until the disturbed area is stabilized by the use of debris basins, sediment basins, silt traps, or similar measures.
