Silt <br /> fencing is meant to be placed pazallel with topographic con'ours to prevent sediment-laden <br /> runoff from leaving a work area or entering a sensitivc azea. Silt fences should not be placed <br /> to cross contour ]ines without having sepazate flow control in front of the silt fence. A <br /> swale/berm combination should be constructed to provide flow control raSher than let the <br /> runoff build up behind the silt fence and utilize the silt fence as the flow-control measure. <br /> Runoff tlowing in front of a silt fence will cause addition��o�e n anna��ol��e a much <br /> failure of the silt fence.

The winter performance of a site is dependent on a well-conceived plan for control of <br /> site erosion and storm water runoff. It is easier to keep the soil on the ground than to <br /> remove it from storm water.

A site maintenance plan should be in place in the event storm water lurbidity <br /> measurements aze greater than the F.cology standazds. <br /> 2. All TFSC measures for a given azea to be graded or otherwise worked should be <br /> installed prior to any activity within an azea other than insta11in8 the TESC f ivenearea <br /> tunber harvesting.

During the wetter mont6s ef the year, or when large storm events are pcedicted during <br /> the summer months, each work azea should be stabilized so that if showers occur, the <br /> work azea can receive �`�e rainfal! without excessive erosion or sediment transport• The <br /> ASSOCUTED F.ARTH S��E7�`�'ES, lNC. <br /> �une Jl. 2008 Page 8 <br /> ff,lld-EE%SOL3A5-Pmledt1200B02I31EE1WP <br />
