Enhanced BMPs are described for high risk sites which include hillsides as designated by the agency (usually 20% or 25% slope depending on local ordinance), areas within or directly discharging to environmentally sensitive area (ESA), and sites that directly discharge to a water body listed on the 303(d) list for siltation or sediment. See pages 77-78 for BMP list and pages 111-113 for definitions of “hillsides”, “ESAs”, and “directly discharging”.
