Soil loss BMP's that should be considered for implementation as appropriate for each project include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Scheduling construction activity during dry weather, when possible.
2. Preservation of natural features, vegetation, soil, and buffers around surface waters.
3. Drainage swales or lined ditches to control stormwater flow.
4. Mulching or hydroseeding to stabilize disturbed soils.
5. Erosion control to protect slopes.
6. Protection of storm drain inlets (gravel bags or catch basin inserts).
7. Perimeter sediment control (perimeter silt fence, fiber rolls).
8. Sediment trap or sediment basin to retain sediment on site.
9. Stabilized construction exits.
10. Wind erosion control.
11. Other soil loss BMP's acceptable to the enforcing agency.

Good housekeeping BMP's to manage construction equipment, materials, non-stormwater discharges, and wastes that should be considered for implementation as appropriate for each project include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Dewatering activities.
2. Material handling and waste management.
3. Building materials stockpile management.
4. Management of washout areas (concrete, paints, stucco, etc.).
5. Control of vehicle/equipment fueling to contractor's staging area.
6. Vehicle and equipment cleaning performed off site.
7. Spill prevention and control.
8. Other housekeeping BMP's acceptable to the enforcing agency.
