2. Minimum Standard 1 | |
Answer> Stabilization
|
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; temporary soil
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
stabilization shall be applied within seven days to denuded areas that may not be at final
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
1 |/ |63
,grade but will remain dormant for longer than 14 days;permanent stabilization shall be
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
applied to areas that are to be left dormant for more than one year
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
3. Site NOT at Final Grade
| | | |
Answer> - stabilize in 14 days
| | | | |
- temporarily seed |
- mulch
- permanently stabilize if dormant > 1 year| | | | | |
4. Site at Final Grade
| | |
Answer> - stabilize in 7 days (recommended immediately)
| | | | | | |
- permanently or temporarily seed and mulch| | | | |
- mulch/matting/straw
5. Minimum Standard 2 | |
Answer> Stock Piles, Waste and Borrow Areas
| | | | | |
during construction, soil stock piles and borrow areas shall be stabilized or protected with
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
sediment trapping measures

| | | | | |
6. Minimum Standard 3 | |
Answer> Permanent Vegetation | |
permanent vegetation cover shall be established on denuded areas not otherwise
| | | | | | | | | |
permanently stabilized (permanent vegetation shall not be considered established
| | | | | | | | |
until a ground cover is achieved that is uniform, mature enough to survive, and will
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
inhibit erosion *there is no % associated with this*)
| | | | | | | | |
reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from disturbed area
| | | | | | | |
this is the standard used to verify that a site is ready for release of bonds or surety
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
7. Minimum Standard 4 | |
Answer> First-Step Measures | |
Sediment basins and traps, perimeter dikes, sediment barriers and other measures
| | | | | | | | | |
intended to trap sediment shall be constructed as a first step in any land-disturbing
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
activity and shall be made functional before upslope land disturbance takes place
| | | | | | | | | | |
3 |/ |63
, a certain amount of initial land disturbance may be required to provide access for
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| equipment to install the perimeter controls, but site clearing and grading should be ke
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| to a minimum until the perimeter controls are in place
| | | | | | | | |
intercepts and detains small amounts of sediment from disturbed areas during
| | | | | | | | | |
| construction operation to prevent sediment from leaving the site and decrease
| | | | | | | | | |
| velocity of sheet flows and low-to-moderate level channel flow
| | | | | | | |
8. Perimeter Controls |
Answer> assures that sediment does not leave the perimeter of the land-disturbing
| | | | | | | | | | |
| area once site clearing, grading, and construction commences
| | | | | | |
Examples silt fences, sediment traps, sediment basins, construction entrance,
| | | | | | | |
| temporary diversions, diversions | |
9. Minimum Standard 5 | |
Answer> Earthen Structure Stabilization | | |
stabilization measures shall be applied to earthen structures such as dams, dikes, and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| diversions immediately after installation| | |
