What principles should be considered when developing a soil erosion and sedimentation control plan?
• Integrate the overall construction design and activities to fit the physical and vegetative features of the site. • Stage construction and stabilization activities to minimize the area and duration of disturbance. • Identify control measures that will minimize erosion. • Identify control measures that will prevent off-site sedimentation. Sediment control should not be used as a substitution for erosion control, but rather in conjunction with erosion control. • Establish an inspection and maintenance schedule.
