Conditions of Use The construction sequence schedule is an orderly listing of all major land -disturbing activities together with the necessary erosion and sedimentation control measures planned for the project. This type of schedule guides the contractor on work to be done before other work is started so that serious erosion and sedimentation problems can be avoided. Following a specified work schedule that coordinates the timing of land -disturbing activities and the installation of control measures is perhaps the most cost-effective way of controlling erosion during construction. The removal of ground cover leaves a site vulnerable to erosion. Construction sequen- cing that limits land clearing, provides timely installation of erosion and sedimentation controls, and restores protective cover quickly can significantly reduce the erosion potential of a site. Design Considerations . Minimize construction during rainy periods. Schedule projects to disturb only small portions of the site at any one time. Complete grading as soon as possible. Immediately stabilize the disturbed portion before grading the next por- tion. Practice staged seeding in order to revegetate cut and fill slopes as the work progresses. 11-3.3 Construction Runoff BMPs BMP C200: Interceptor Dike and Swale Purpose Provide a dike of compacted soil or a swale at the top or base of a disturbed slope or along the peri- meter of a disturbed construction area to convey stormwater. Use the dike and/or swale to intercept the runoff from unprotected areas and direct it to areas where erosion can be controlled. This can prevent storm runoff from entering the work area or sediment -laden runoff from leaving the con- struction site. Conditions of Use Use an interceptor dike or swale where runoff from an exposed site or disturbed slope must be con- veyed to an erosion control BMP which can safely convey the stormwater. . Locate upslope of a construction site to prevent runoff from entering the disturbed area. . When placed horizontally across a disturbed slope, it reduces the amount and velocity of run- off flowing down the slope. . Locate downslope to collect runoff from a disturbed area and direct it to a sediment BMP (e.g. BMP C240: Sediment Trap or BMP C241: Sediment Pond (Temporary)). 2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington Volume 11 - Chapter 3 - Page 329
