EROSION AND SEDII.4ENT CONTROL <br />Erosion and sediment are problems associated with construction. <br />Proper planning and staging of construction activity can min- ~~ <br />imize these hazards. Bare only those areas necessary for con- <br />struction. Protect all remaining vegetation from destruction. <br />This is particularly important in mountain areas where vegetation ~ <br />is hard to re-establish. Areas graded months in advance of <br />anticipated construction should be temporarily seeded and/or <br />mulched. Keep grades of cut and fill slopes 3:1 or flatter, <br />wherever practical for stability and maintenance. Seed or sod <br />roadbanks, streambamks, cut and fill slopes, etc. as soon as ,_ ` <br />practical after bringing them to final grade. If these temporary <br />and permanent measures are not effective in reducing erosion <br />and sediment damages from the site, the use of temporary diversions <br />and sediment basins at the base of the development may need to <br />be considered. As soon as practical following construction, <br />stabilize all disturbed areas by seeding, sodding or paving. <br />PLEASE NOTE: <br />The soils information provided in this report is based on our <br />present knowledge of the soil and how it reacts to specific <br />uses.
