Protect Natural Features Minimize the amount of exposed soil and the extent of clearing. Identify and protect areas where existing vegetation, such as, trees, will not be disturbed by construction activity.

Minimize compaction of soil by limiting heavy equipment use to specific areas. Restore any damaged areas.

Protect streams, stream buffers, wild woodlands, wetlands, or other sensitive areas for, disturbance by fencing or otherwise clearly marking these areas.

Construction Phasing Sequence construction activities so that the soil is not exposed for long periods of time. Limit grading to small areas.

Install key sediment control practices before site grading, such as silt fences (Be sure to entrench the fence about 6 inches into dirt & remove sediment when it reaches ½ the height of the fence).

Schedule site stabilization activities, such as landscaping, to be completed immediately after the land has been graded to its final contour.

Plant Vegetative Buffers Protect and install vegetative buffers along water bodies to slow and filter storm water runoff. Maintain buffers by replanting if needed.

Site Stabilization Apply temporary stabilization to rough- graded areas. Plant, mulch or otherwise stabilize all exposed areas as soon as land alterations have been completed.

Protect Storm Drain Inlet Use appropriate controls to prevent sediment, debris and trash from entering storm water system. If you use inlet filters, maintain them regularly.

Dirt Stockpiles Cover or seed all dirt stockpiles Surround dire stockpiles with silt fence

Prevent Erosion Terrace Slopes Break up long slopes with sediment barriers or divert storm water away from slopes

Plan Construction Entrances Utilize construction exits to minimize vehicle tracking of mud and dirt offsite. Use properly sized entrances for all anticipated vehicles. Use geotextile beneath entrance along with 2” to 3” gravel.

Maintain Your BMPs
