SEDIMENTATION CONTROL Clause Samples

SEDIMENTATION CONTROL. Sedimentation occurs when soil is eroded and transported from its original location. The goal of sedimentation control is to prevent sediment from leaving the construction site and, more particularly, from entering surface waters of the state or storm drain inlets. Every SWPPP shall describe adequate BMPs to achieve sedimentation control. Examples of BMPs for sedimentation control include, but are not limited to: ▪ Sediment barriers such as straw ▇▇▇▇▇, gravel berms, silt fences, fiber rolls or wattles. ▪ Sediment traps and basins ▪ Storm drain inlet protection ▪ Entrance/exit tracking controls ▪ Undercut lots where curb and gutter are installed ▪ Vegetated buffer strips ▪ Grassed waterways ▪ Water bars and water wings
