2. Do not allow the saturation of topsoil with water. <br /> 3. Do not use plastic covering. <br /> Maintenance Inspect stockpiles regularly,especially after large storm events. <br /> Standards Stabilize any areas that have eroded. <br /> is <br /> • Establish soil quality and depth toward the end of construction and <br /> once established,protect from compaction, such as from large <br /> machinery use, and from erosion. <br /> Plant and mulch soil after installation. <br /> • Leave plant debris or its equivalent on the soil surface to replenish <br /> organic matter. <br /> • Reduce and adjust,where possible, the use of irrigation, fertilizers, <br /> herbicides and pesticides, rather than continuing to implement <br /> formerly established practices. <br /> BMP C126: Polyacrylamide (PAM) for Soil Erosion Protection <br /> Purpose Polyacrylamide(PAM) is used on construction sites to prevent soil <br /> erosion. <br /> Applying PAM to bare soil in advance of a rain event significantly reduces <br /> erosion and controls sediment in two ways. First, PAM increases the soil's <br /> available pore volume, thus increasing infiltration through flocculation <br /> and reducing the quantity of stormwater runoff. Second, it increases <br /> flocculation of suspended particles and aids in their deposition, thus <br /> reducing stormwater runoff turbidity and improving water quality. <br /> Conditions of Use PAM shall not be directly applied to water or allowed to enter a water <br /> body. <br /> In areas that drain to a sediment pond, PAM can be applied to bare soil <br /> under the following conditions: <br /> During rough grading operations. <br /> • In Staging areas. <br /> Balanced cut and fill earthwork. <br /> • Haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing. <br /> Compacted soil roadbase. <br /> • Stockpiles. <br /> After final grade and before paving or final seeding and planting. <br /> • Pit sites. <br /> Vohnne 1I—Construction Storinwater Polhaimi Prei,ention-August 2012 <br /> 4-32 <br /> is <br />
