recognizes that after the overlying limestone has been removed, the <br />exposed sandstone slab will be relatively resistant to erosion. As <br />previously stated, erosion control structures will be necessary to <br />prevent rapid runoff from the sandstone slab from impacting <br />downslope areas.

The adequacy <br />review of July 14, 1993 asked for sizing and locations of all <br />erosion control structures. Sizing is based on whether they would <br />be temporary of permanent. <br />The applicant states that temporary erosion control structures, <br />including stone berm filters and check dams, will be used at the <br />base of the disturbed area in the natural drainage:;. Each <br />structure needs to be designed and sized appropriately to handle <br />the peak runoff. from a 10 year/24 hour storm event. The <br />calculations included in the addendum for the #98 runoff curve <br />should be used with the acreage of the watershed which will impact <br />each structure. <br />Permanent erosion control structures include the tree pads and <br />sandstone benches.
