In planning project erosion control measures the following guidelines should be followed:

•                  Use silt fencing to protect drainage swales and steep slopes from erosion.
•                  Place construction fence at break of slope.  Use construction fencing to prevent dumping and trespass by vehicles and people.
•                  Monitor and repair fences daily.
•                  Stabilize slopes immediately after finish grading with narrow-leaf fescue and perennial rye.  On steep slopes, use hydroseeding or coco mats to ensure rapid stabilization.

Clearly indicate which measures are temporary and which are permanent.  Require the contractor to remove temporary measures prior to landscape installation.

Stormwater runoff should be infiltrated on site wherever possible.  Suggested methods to accomplish on-site infiltration include:  pervious pavement (asphalt or concrete) with re-charge beds beneath, connection of roof leaders and storm drains to sub-surface infiltration beds, infiltration berms in undisturbed woodlands, infiltration beds or trenches.  Stormwater runoff may also be controlled with manufactured rain storage systems beneath parking areas or on rooftops or collected in cisterns for re-use in irrigation or as building gray water for toilet flushing or other non-potable uses.

All storm drain lines, roof downspouts and catch basins must be kept clean of dirt, debris, litter, and silt, at all times during construction or renovation.  All lines and catch basins damaged during construction and or renovation must be repaired or totally replaced with equal size lines but no less than 6" PVC pipe.  Soil erosion must be kept out of catch basin by implementing a control system before problem arises.  Contracters will be responsible for lines and catch basins outside of building site and staging areas when damage or clogs  caused from project.
