Section 8-5-8(e)

Other

• Control peak flow rates and total volume

  Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flow rates and total stormwater volume, to minimize erosion at outlets and to minimize downstream channel and stream bank erosion

• Control stormwater volume and velocity

  Control stormwater volume and velocity within the site to minimize soil erosion

• Minimize soil compaction and preserve topsoil

  Minimize soil compaction and, unless infeasible, preserve topsoil

• Minimize exposed soil

  Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity

• Minimize sediment discharge

  Minimize sediment discharges from the site

• Minimize steep slopeSteep slopeGround above a stated gradient, where building is restricted or barred. disturbance

  Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes

• Natural buffers around surface waters

  Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct stormwater to vegetated areas to increase sediment removal and maximize stormwater infiltration, unless infeasible

• Stabilization timing14 days

  Stabilization of disturbed areas must, at a minimum, be initiated immediately whenever any clearing, grading, excavating, or other earth disturbing activities have permanently ceased on any portion of the site, or temporarily ceased on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days.

• Surface withdrawal outlets

  Utilize outlet structures that withdraw water from the surface, unless infeasible, when discharging from basins and impoundments.
