MERCER COUNTY SCD
REQUIRED SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL NOTES
1. All Soil Erosion and Sediment Control practices shall be
installed prior to any major soil disturbances, or in their proper squence
and maintained until permanent protection is established.
2. Any Disturbed areas that will be left exposed more than 30 Days and not
subject to construction traffic, will immediately receive a temporary seeding.
If the season prevents the establishment of a temporary cover, the disturbed
areas will be mulched with straw, or equivalent material, at a rate of two
(2) tons per acre, according to State STANDARDS,
3. Permanent Vegetation shall be seeded or sodded on all exposed areas within
ten (10) days after final grading. Mulch will be used for protection until
seeding is established
4. All work shall be done in accordance with the State STANDARDS for Soil
Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey.
5. A sub-base course will be applied immediately following rough grading and
installation of improvements in order to stabilize streets, roads, driveways
and parking areas. In areas where no utilities are present, the sub-base shall
be installed within 15 days or preliminary grading.
6. Immediately following initial disturbance or rough grading all critical
areas subject to erosion (i.e.: steep slopes, roadway embankments) will receive
a temporary seeding in combination with straw mulch or a suitable equivalent,
at a rate of two (2) tons per acre, according to the State STANDARDS.
7. Any steep slopes receiving pipeline installation will be backfilled and
stabilized daily, as the installation proceeds (i.e.: slopes greater that
3:1)
8. Traffic control STANDARDS require the installation of a 50’x30’x1’pad
of 1 1/2” or 2” stone, at all construction driveways, immediately
after initial site disturbance.
9. In accordance with the STANDARD for Permanent Vegetative Cover for soil
stabilization, any soil having a pH of 4 or less or containing iron sulfides
shall be covered with a minimum of 12” of soil having a pH of 5 or more
prior to seedbed preparation.
10. The Mercer County Soil Conservation District shall be notified 48 hours
in advance of any land disturbing activity.
11. At the time when the site preparation for permanent vegetative stabilization
is going to be accomplished, any soil that will not provide a suitable environment
to support adequate vegetative ground cover, shall be removed or treated in
such a way that will permanently adjust the soil conditions and render it
suitable for vegetative ground cover. If the removal or treatment of the soil
will not provide suitable conditions, non-vegetative means of permanent ground
stabilization will have to be employed.
12. In that NJSA 4:24-39 et seq., requires that no Certificate of Occupancy
be issued before the provisions of the Certified Plan for Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control have been complied with for permanent measures, all site
work for site plans and all work around individual lots in subdivisions, will
have to be completed prior to the District issuing a Report of Compliance
for the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Municipality.
13. Conduit Outlet Protection must be installed at all required outfalls prior
to the drainage system becoming operational.
14. Any changes to the Certified Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will
require the submission of revised Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
to the District for re-certification. The revised plans must meet all current
State Soil Erosion & Sediment Control STANDARDS.
15. The Mercer County Soil Conservation District shall be notified of any
changes in ownership.
16. Mulching to the STANDARDS is required for obtaining a Conditional Report
of Compliance. Conditionals are only issued when the season prohibits seeding.
17. Contractor is responsible for keeping all adjacent roads clean during
life of construction project.
18. The developer shall be responsible for remediating any erosion or sediment
problems that arise as a result of ongoing construction at the request of
the Mercer County Soil Conservation District.
19. Hydroseeding is a two step process. The first step includes seed, fertilizer,
lime, etc., along with minimal amounts of mulch to promote consistency, good
seed to soil contact, and give a visual indication of coverage. Upon completion
of seeding operation, hydro-mulch should be applied at a rate of 1500 lbs.
Per acre in second step.
The use of hydro-mulch, as opposed to straw, is limited to optimum seeding
dates as listed in the STANDARDS.
