Erosion and Sediment Control Plan

Site Plan Requirements

• Vicinity map - A small map locating the site in relation to the surrounding area. Include any landmarks which might assist in locating the site.
• Indicate north - The direction of north in relation to the site.
• Limits of clearing and grading - Areas which are to be cleared and graded.
• Existing contours - The existing contours of the site.
• Final contours - Changes to the existing contours, including final drainage patterns.
• Existing vegetation - The existing tree lines, grassed areas, or unique vegetation.
• Soils - The boundaries of different soil types.
• Existing drainage patterns - The dividing lines and the direction of flow for the different drainage areas. Include size (acreage) of each drainage area.
• Critical erosion areas - Areas with potentially serious erosion problems.
• Site development - Show all improvements such as buildings, parking lots, access roads, utility construction, etc.
• Location of practices - The location of erosion and sediment control and stormwater management practices used on the site. Use the standard symbols and abbreviations in Chapter 3 of the VESCH.
• Off-site areas - Identify any off-site land-disturbing activities (e.g., borrow sites, waste areas, etc.). Show location of erosion controls. (Is there sufficient information to assure adequate protection and stabilization?)
• Detail drawings - Any structural practices used that are not referenced to the VESCH Handbook or local handbooks should be explained and illustrated with a detail drawing.
• Maintenance - A schedule of regular inspections and repair of erosion and sediment control structures should be set forth.
