02 NCAC 60c .0209         REHABILITATION OF PROJECT SITE

Areas on the project site that have the potential for accelerated erosion to cause visible sediment to enter an intermittent stream, a perennial stream, or a perennial waterbody, shall be provided with ground cover or best management practices of adequate sedimentation control within 30 working days after ceasing any phase of an operation or beginning a period of inactivity. Sedimentation control measures or ground cover shall be required for any area that is contributing or has contributed visible sediment into an intermittent stream, a perennial stream, or a perennial waterbody, regardless of when the visible sedimentation occurred as a result of the forestry-related, land-disturbing activity. Treatment and maintenance of those areas shall be sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion and prevent visible sediment from entering intermittent streams, perennial streams, and perennial waterbodies until the site is permanently stabilized.
