<br />check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, storm drain inlet protection, and temporary or
<br />permanent sedimentation basins.
<br />3.032 Soil The unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the immediate surface
<br />of the earth. For the purposes of this document stockpiles of sand, gravel, aggregate, concrete

<br />drainage.").
<br />3.035 Storm Water Pollution Control Plan A joint storm water and erosion and sediment
<br />control plan that is a document containing the requirements of Section 6, that when
<br />implemented will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and off-site nonpoint pollution and
<br />sediment damages.
<br />3.036 Structure Anything manufactured, constructed or erected which is normally attached to
<br />or positioned on land, including portable structures, earthen structures, roads, parking lots, and

<br />3.038 Urban Of, relating to, characteristic of, constituting a city.
<br />3.039 Vegetated or Grassed Swales A vegetated earthen channel that conveys storm water,
<br />while treating the storm water by biofiltration. Pollutants are removed by both filtration and
<br />infiltration.
