This Plan shall also include permanent measures and Best Management Practices to control post-construction surface runoff and sediment. • Erosion and sediment control practice specifications and erosion and sediment control practices.

Land Disturbance Activity does not mean the following: • Minor land disturbance activities such as home gardens and an individual's home landscaping,repairs, and maintenance work; • Additions or modifications to existing single-family dwellings or accessory structures that will result in creating under 2,500 square feet of exposed soil and/or impervious surface; • Construction, installation, and maintenance of electric, telephone, and cable television utility lines or individual service connection to these utilities, except where a minimum of 2,500 square feet of land disturbance can be anticipated; • Tilling, planting, or harvesting of agricultural,horticultural, or silvicultural crops; • Installation of fence, sign, telephone, and electric poles and other kinds of posts, bollards, or poles; and • Emergency work to protect life, limb, or property and emergency repairs. However, if the land disturbing activity would have required an approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan except for the emergency, then the land area disturbed shall be shaped and stabilized in accordance with the requirement of the PAID when applicable. • Minimum Control Measure: Measures implemented in managing municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s)under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)program. • NPDES: The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System as established pursuant to 33 USC § 1342 (b)to regulate Discharges of Pollutants to waters of the United States.
