On-site construction methods shall conform to <br />these Specifications and City of South Bend Standards and the Indiana Stormwater Quality <br />Handbook. <br />A typical layout for Erosion and Sediment Control measures on an individual lot is included in <br />Standard Drawing 7-8. While this will not encompass every situation, it should be used as a <br />guideline when determining which measures to use and where they should be located. <br />Prior to site work, Erosion Control measures shall be installed to control erosion and prevent <br />sediment from exiting the site. This shall include but not be limited to silt fences and filter socks, <br />construction entrances, inlet protection, and other items as necessary to control sediment. <br />Construction operations shall be carried out in a manner so as to minimize erosion and control <br />sediment. Any material excavated from the project shall be contained. <br />A plan shall be submitted to the Division of Engineering for a site that will be inactive for fifth- <br />teen (15) days. This plan shall include the method and schedule for stabilizing the site until work <br />can resume and the original erosion and sediment program can be reimplemented. <br />The Notice of Intent and required rain gauge shall be clearly posted at the site prior to commencing <br />construction activities. <br />7-2.2 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE <br />7-2.2 (a) GENERAL <br />Inspection and maintenance of all temporary and permanent measures shall be in accordance <br />with the approved self-monitoring program submitted by the individual lot operator and adhere <br />to Section 7 of the South Bend Standards.
