1.1                         PROTECTING LAND RESOURCES

Use all erosion control measures necessary to:

(a)          Reduce by the greatest extent practicable the area and duration of exposure of readily redouble soils.

(b)          Protect the soils by use of temporary vegetation, or seeding and much, or by accelerating the establishment of permanent vegetation; complete and protect segments of work as rapidly as consistent with construction schedules.

(c)          Retard the rate of run off from the construction site and control the disposal of runoff.

(d)          Trap sediment resulting from construction by using temporary or

Permanent silt-holding basins; this includes pump; discharges.

(e)          Consistently utilize the approved dust control measure.

(f)           Provide temporary measures for the control of erosion in the event construction operations are suspended for any appreciable length of time.

(g)          Provide protection against discharge of pollutants such as chemicals, fuel, lubricants, and other harmful material into natural waterways.

(h)          Provide self-contained sanitary facilities (e.g. chemical toilets). Collect and dispose of refuse away room the site.

(i)            Surface drainage from cuts and fills within the construction limits, whether or not completed, and from borrow and waste areas shall, if turbidity;-producing materials are reset, be held in suitable sedimentation ponds or shall be graded to control erosion within acceptable limits.

(j)            If required in order to meet the standards of this section, provide and maintain temporary erosion and sediment control measures such as berms, dikes, drains and sedimentation basins until permanent drainage and control facilities are compiled and operative.

(k)          Construct fills and waste areas by selective placement to eliminate surfaces that will erode.
