A.

Three (3) calendar days as to the surface of all perimeter dikes, swales, ditches, perimeter slopes, and all slopes steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3:1); and

B.

Seven (7) calendar days as to all other disturbed or graded areas on the project site not under active grading.;"

6.

Details for areas requiring accelerated stabilization; and

7.

Maintenance requirements as defined in the standards and specifications.

(c)

Sequence of construction.

(1)

Subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, an applicant shall submit a sequence of construction describing the relationship between the implementation and maintenance of controls, including permanent and temporary stabilization, and the various stages or phases of earth disturbance and construction.

(2)

Any changes or revisions to the sequence of construction shall be approved by the District before proceeding with construction.

(3)

The sequence of construction, at a minimum, shall include the following:

(i)

A request for a pre-construction meeting with the Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections;

(ii)

Clearing and grubbing as necessary for the installation of perimeter controls;

(iii)

(iv)

Remaining clearing and grubbing within installed perimeter controls;

(v)

Road grading;

(vi)

Grading for the remainder of the site;

(vii)

Utility installation and connections to existing structures;

(viii)

Construction of buildings, roads, and other construction;

(ix)

Final grading, landscaping, and stabilization;

(x)

Installation of stormwater management measures;

(xi)

Approval of the Department of Permits, Approvals, and Inspections before removal of sediment controls; and

(xii)

Removal of controls and stabilization of areas that are disturbed by removal of sediment controls.

(d)

Statement of required contacts . An applicant shall submit a statement requiring the owner/developer or representative to contact the Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections or its agent at the following stages of the project or in accordance with the approved erosion and sediment control plan, grading permit, or building permit:

(1)

Before the start of earth disturbance;

(2)

On completion of the installation of perimeter erosion and sediment controls, but before proceeding with any other earth disturbance or grading;
