<br />EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: Erosion and sediment are problems <br />associated with construction. Proper planning and staging of <br />construction activity can minimize these hazards. Bare only those <br />areas necessary for construction. Protect all remaining vegetation <br />from destruction. This is particularly important in mountain areas <br />where vegetation is hard to re-establish. Areas graded months in <br />advance of anticipated construction should be temporarily seeded and/ <br />or mulched. Keep grades of cut and fill slopes 3:1 or flatter wherever <br />practical for stability and maintenance. Seed or sod roadbanks, <br />streambanks, cut and fill slopes etc. as soon as practical after <br />bringing them to final grade. If these temporary and permanent <br />measures are not effective in reducing erosion and sediment damages from <br />the site, the use of temporary diversions and sediment basins at the <br />base of the development may need to be considered. As soon as <br />practical following construction stabilize all disturbed areas by <br />seeding, sodding or paving. <br />PLEASE NOTE: The soils information provided in this report is based <br />on our present ]mowledge of the soil and how it reacts to specific <br />uses. This soils information is not intended to replace the <br />need for on-site investigation. It will, however, permit on-site <br />investigations to be made at a minimum cost.
