All earth disturbance activities, including those that disturb less than 5,000 square feet, must implement and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sediment pollution. A written Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control (E&SPC) Plan is required if one or more of the following apply: the total area of disturbance is 5,000 square feet or greater, or if the activity has the potential to discharge to a water classified as a High Quality (HQ) or Exceptional Value (EV) water published in Chapter 93 regulations (relating to water quality standards). This document is intended to assist in the development of an E&SPC Plan where the total area of earth disturbance is 5,000 square feet or greater and less than 21,780 square feet (half an acre) on slopes that are less than 10%.
