Filtering Tips:--> Think of each credit as having "Attributes".--> Each Attribute has a check box next to it. --> The Credit Attributes are grouped into "Categories". (i.e. Credits Selected, Section Number, Primary Doc. Type, etc.) --> Thus: "GC Sign Off", Rater Sign Off, & Photo are all Credit Attributes in the "Primary Doc. Type" Category.
--> If a check box is "checked", credits which have that attribute will be visible after pressing the UPDATE VIEW button.--> At least one check box must be selected in each Category for any credits to be visible.--> Complex filtering is possible by checking the combination of attributes you wish to see. For example, View all of the credits that you selected with a "Y" that require a Rater Sign Off at Drywall.

Erosion Control Plan Template
Project Name: <Project Name>Instructions:
DESIGNATE AN EROSION CONTROL SUPERVISORName Role Phone Number
IDENTIFY EXISTING CONDITIONS ON THE SITE PLANSuggested Strategies:Property lines of the project Areas with a high susceptibility to erosion.
Proximity to natural or man-made water features Existing topographic contours (5 feet or smaller interval) Proximity to natural or man-made water features Drainage way, water features General vegetative cover types within 200 feet of water features (e.g. field, hardwood forest, grass etc.)Vegetative cover types in all proposed disturbance areas and areas receiving and treating runoff from the construction site Critical natural or man-made features within 3,000 feet of the projectSoil map and key Identified sensitive areas (e.g. steep slopes, erodible soils, wet areas) Structures, roads, utilities, buildings, ponds, wetlands
North arrow, scale, date, elevation datum
DEVELOP GRADING PLAN AND CONSTRUCTION TIMETABLESuggested Strategies:Existing and proposed topographic contours Limits of soil disturbance and method to be used for demarcation of these limits on site
Proposed structures, roads, utilities Location of topsoil stockpiles, staging areas, equipment storage, and refueling/maintenance areas and stump disposal areas Location of disposal areas for excess soil (include map if off-site)
Boundaries for undisturbed riparian buffers Description of proposed grading, seasonal limitations Timetable of all major construction and earth change activities, including stabilization methods for winter
MINIMIZE DISTURBED AREA OF SITESuggested Strategies:
Identify erosion control measures on the site plan. Each major category (dark green) must be addressed. Items printed in black under mandatory measures must be included in the erosion control plan. Items in gray under suggested strategies are non-encompassing suggestions for that category. Techniques not listed may also be included.
Areas of various construction phases, including sequential and concurrent activities
© Copyright 2008, 2009 Minnesota GreenStar All Rights Reserved
Develop a tree / plant preservation plan with "no-disturbance zone" clearly delineated on drawings Leaving undisturbed at least 40% of the lot areaAny "no disturbance zones" must also be protected from parked construction vehicles
INCORPORATE EROSION PREVENTION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLMandatory Measures:Stockpile and protect disturbed topsoil from erosion (for reuse)Protect on site storm sewer inlets with straw bales, silt fencing, silt sacks, or rock filtersStabilize soils that have been or may be disturbedOn steep slopes, use erosion control blankets where necessary
Suggested Strategies:Limits of soil disturbance Riparian conservation buffer limits and method to be used for demarcation
Location of all structural erosion and sediment control measures and details Location of areas to be seeded and mulched Storm water pathways Erosion control matting on slopes greater than 3:1 No hay bales or silt fence running across contours or in areas of concentrated flow Chart of inspection and maintenance schedule of all control measures Stabilized construction entrance shown
INCLUDE COVER MEASURESSuggested Strategies:
Specify the nature and location of permanent cover measures. If a landscaping plan is prepared, this may not be necessary.Specify the approximate amount of cover measures necessary to cover all disturbed areasIf erosion netting or blankets are specified, provide typical details sufficient for installation and maintenance.Specify the seed mixes, fertilizers, and soil amendments to be used, as well as the application rate for each item.
DEFINE CLEARING LIMITSSuggested Strategies:Delineate clearing limits (areas to remain uncleared)
DESCRIBE PERIMETER PROTECTIONSuggested Strategies:Specify the location and type of perimeter protection to be used.Provide typical details sufficient for installation and maintenance of perimeter protectionIf a silt fence is to be used, specify the type of fabric.
DEFINE TRAFFIC AREA STABILIZATION
Specify the type and location of temporary cover measures to be used on site- If more than one type of cover is to be used on site, indicate the areas where the different measures shall be used, including steep cut and fill slopes.- If the type of cover measures to be used will vary depending on the time of year, soil type, gradient, or some other factor, specify the conditions that control the use of the different measures.
© Copyright 2008, 2009 Minnesota GreenStar All Rights Reserved
Suggested Strategies:Locate the construction entrance(s).Provide typical details sufficient for installation and maintenance of the construction entranceLocate the construction roads and parking areas
Specify the measure(s) that will be used to create stabilized construction roads and parking areasDesignate and mark walking traffic areas
PREPARE SURFACE WATER CONTROL MEASURESMandatory Measures:Control the path and velocity of runoff with silt fencing or comparable measuresProvideswales to divert surface water from hillsides
Suggested Strategies:Site drainage characteristics (up and down-gradient)
Drainage, waterways, bodies of water Locate all pipes, ditches, and interceptor ditches and swales that will be used to convey stormwater.Provide details sufficient to install and maintain all conveyance systemssIndicate locations of outlet protection and provide detail of protectionsProvide all temporary pipe inverts.
Provide location and details of rock check damsProvide front and side sections of typical rock check damsProximity to natural or man-made water features
IDENTIFY SENSITIVE AREAS RESTRICTIONSSuggested Strategies:
Specify the type, location, and details of any measures necessary to comply with requirements to protect surface waters
Specify the type, location, and details of any measures necessary to comply with any additional protection required for steep slopes
Provide location and specifications for the interception of runoff from disturbed areas and the conveyance of the runoff to a non-erosive discharge point

RECYCLING RATEEstimate of total quantity recycled as a percentage of all waste. Do NOT count Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) in calculation.Calculate: recycling rate = quantity recycled
quantity recycled + quantity thrown away
Described in enough detail so as to be identified on site without ambiguity. All materials that will be handled separately should be listed separately.
Types of procedures include: (1) source-separated recycling, (2) commingled recycling, (3) disposal as waste, (4) recovery as salvage, (5) on or off-site grinding/crushing, (6) on-site stock-piling
List the specific organization or individual that will receive each material.
