Section 04B .0106 - BASIC EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN OBJECTIVES

An erosion and sedimentation control plan developed pursuant to this Chapter shall be designed to address the following:

(1) Identify Critical Areas. Identify site areas subject to accelerated erosion, and off-site areas vulnerable to damage from erosion and sedimentation.

(2) Limit Exposed Areas. Limit the size of the area exposed at any one time.

(3) Limit Time of Exposure. Limit exposure to the shortest time specified in G.S. 113A-57, the rules of this Chapter, or as directed by the approving authority.

(4) Control Surface Water. Control surface water originating upgrade of exposed areas in order to reduce erosion and sediment loss during exposure.

(5) Control Sedimentation. All land-disturbing activity shall be planned to prevent off-site sedimentation damage.

(6) Manage Stormwater Runoff. Plans shall be designed so that any increase in velocity of stormwater runoff resulting from a land-disturbing activity will not result in accelerated erosion of the receiving stormwater conveyance or at the point of discharge. Plans shall include measures to prevent accelerated erosion within the project boundary and at the point of discharge.
