Changes coming to MD's R&S Control Standards

the 2005 Draft document titled, "Maryland's Erosion and Sediment Control Standards and Specification for Forest Harvest Operations" are going to be finalized by MDE in 2010. They will be Appendix A in the 2010 Standards and Specifications for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (thelarger document for construction activities).

The Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations are also being revised as part of this process.

I wish more people would use inlet filters for soil erosion prevention and sediment control, especially since lots of states are having droughts and water is becoming more and more precious.
