A. 
Physical Description. A bonded fiber matrix (BFM) is a hydraulically applied continuous layer of elongated fiber strands held together by a water-resistant bonding agent designed to protect exposed soil by eliminating direct impact of precipitation. BFMs adhere directly to the surface of the soil, eliminating gaps between the product and the soil; therefore no special treatment is required at the upstream end of the BFM. BFMs have a high water-holding capacity, but do not form a water-insensitive crust that would inhibit plant growth. BFMs biodegrade completely into material known beneficial to plant growth.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. Typically installed on slopes where erosion control blankets are impractical and other mulching methods are inadequate.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP.
Type of flow: Sheet flow only.
D. 
When BMP Is To Be Installed. Immediately after completion of a phase of grading.
E. 
Installation/Construction Procedures. Follow manufacturer's recommendations to maximize usefulness.
F. 
O&M Procedures.
1. 
Inspect at least every week and after every storm until vegetation is fully established.
2. 
Repair eroded areas and reapply product and vegetation.
G. 
Site Conditions For Removal. Typically left in place to degrade naturally.
H.

[Ord. No. 17-0244, 4-24-2017]
A. 
Physical Description. Control measures designed to reduce the transport of dust, thereby preventing pollutants from infiltrating into stormwater. Examples for construction activities include, vegetative cover, wind barriers, minimization of soil disturbance, spray-on adhesives, tilling, chemical treatment and water sprays.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. Critical in areas of exposed soil.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP. A combination of the following actions should be used to help reduce the dust and air pollution at a construction site.
1. 
Minimize Concurrent Areas Of Soil Disturbance. Phase work to the extent practical.
2. 
Vegetative Cover. For areas not subjected to traffic, vegetation provides the most practical method of dust control and should be established as early as possible. Temporary vegetation should also be used. See "Seeding" and "Sodding" BMPs for additional information.
3. 
Sprinkling. The site can be sprinkled with water until the surface is moist. This practice is effective for dust control on large areas, haul routes or other traffic routes, but constant repetition is required for effective control.
4. 
Tilling. Roughen the surface and bring clods to the surface. This is an emergency measure that should be used before soil blowing starts. Begin tillage on windward side of the site. Chisel plows with shanks spaced about twelve (12) inches to eighteen (18) inches apart and spring toothed harrows are examples of equipment that may produce the desired effect. See "Surface Roughening BMP" for additional information.
5. 
Wind Barriers. Solid board fences, snow fences, burlap fences, crate walls and similar materials can be used to control air currents and blowing soil. Barriers placed at right angles to prevailing wind currents at intervals of about ten (10) times their height are effective in controlling soil blowing.
6. 
Street Cleaning. Paved areas that have soil on them from construction sites should be cleaned continuously, at least daily, utilizing a street sweeper or bucket type endloader or scraper.
7. 
Mulching. This practice offers a fast and effective means of controlling dust where properly applied. Binders and tackifiers should be used on organic mulches. Mulching is not recommended for areas with heavy traffic. See "Mulching" BMP for additional information.
Note: If calcium chloride or spray-on adhesives are used for dust control, a permit may be required from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
D. 
When BMP Is To Be Installed. Routinely, especially in advance of and during periods of dry weather.
E. 
Installation/Construction Procedures. See conditions for effective use above.
F. 
O&M Procedures. Inspect daily and renew as needed.
G. 
Site Conditions For Removal. Maintain practices until all disturbed areas are vegetated or paved and blowing soil is no longer a concern.
H. 
Typical Details. Not applicable.
[Ord. No. 17-0244, 4-24-2017]
A. 
Physical Description. An erosion control blanket is a preformed protective blanket of plastic fibers, straw or other plant residue designed to protect soil from the impact of precipitation and overland flow and retain moisture to facilitate establishment of vegetation. There are many products on the market designed for a variety of applications.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. Typically installed on slopes or in channels prior to establishment of vegetation.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP. Several factors, such as soil conditions, steepness and length of slope, depth of flow, runoff velocities and time required to establish desired vegetation, influence the choice of product. Manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. Products are available for a variety of uses:
1. 
Netting. Synthetic or natural fiber mesh installed over disturbed area to hold organic mulch and/or seed in place.
2. 
Biodegradable Erosion Control Blanket. Natural fiber blanket held together by netting to provide temporary erosion protection on slopes and channels.
3. 
Permanent Erosion Control Blanket. Synthetic blanket material that provides permanent erosion control on slopes and channels with increased water flow.
4. 
Turf Reinforcement Mat. Three-dimensional permanent synthetic mat that provides a matrix to greatly reinforce the root system of the desired vegetation for permanent erosion protection in high flow channels and on critical slopes.
D. 
When BMP Is To Be Installed. Dependent upon intended use — immediately after completion of a phase of grading or installation of vegetation.
E. 
Installation/Construction Procedures. Follow manufacture's recommendations and specifications, particularly noting requirements for check slots, fastening devices and need for firm contact with soil.
F. 
O&M Procedures.
1. 
Inspect at least every week and after every storm until adequate vegetation is established.
2. 
Repair erosion and/or undermining at top of slope.
3. 
Repair undermining beneath blankets — pull back the blanket(s), fill and compact eroded area, revegetate and then secure blanket(s) firmly.
4. 
Reposition or replace blankets that have moved along the slope or channel and secure firmly.
5. 
Replace damaged blankets.
G. 
Site Conditions For Removal. Temporary blankets will generally degrade naturally; permanent blankets remain in place.
H. 
Typical Details. Not applicable.

[Ord. No. 17-0244, 4-24-2017]
A. 
Physical Description. A vegetative, structural or combination treatment of streams designed to stabilize the stream and reduce erosion. It is important to note that a systemic analysis of the entire reach of stream must be conducted in order to avoid unintended negative impacts on a stream as a result of a corrective action at an isolated location. A wide array of products and methodologies can be used to stabilize streams: live stakes; cellular confinement matrices; articulated block pavers; rip-rap; gabion baskets; turf reinforcement mats; fabric formed revetments; cedar tree revetments; straw wattles; grade control structures; stilling basins; etc.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. Open channels downstream from developed areas.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP. Acceptable methods vary widely due to the unique nature of each reach of channel. Design considerations include: current and future watershed conditions; discharge; velocity; sediment load; channel slope; control of bottom scour (incising); soil conditions; compatibility with other improvements; changes in channel alignment; and protection and maintenance of fish and wildlife habitats and existing tree canopy.
D. 
When BMP To Be Installed. Well in advance of disturbing any upstream areas in order to give plant material a relatively long period to become established and allow ample time for inspection and necessary repairs during construction of the remainder of the development.
E. 
Installation/Construction Procedures. Procedures are specific to materials used. General construction principles include:
1. 
Stabilize the channel bottom first to prevent incising and knick points from undermining the bank protection.
2. 
Start and stop bank protection at stable points along the channel.
3. 
Minimize the size of all disturbed areas and stabilize as soon as each phase of construction is complete.
4. 
Use other BMPs to prevent runoff from disturbing the streambank protection area until it has been completed.
5. 
Store all construction materials well away from the stream.
6. 
At the end of each workday, move all construction equipment out of and away from the stream to prevent flooding.
7. 
Avoid steep slopes on the streambank.

[Ord. No. 17-0244, 4-24-2017]
A. 
Physical Description. A stabilized stream crossing designed to protect the stream banks while facilitating access for construction vehicles and equipment. Use of temporary stream crossings is discouraged — crossings are a direct source of pollution and should be avoided if alternatives are feasible. If the work involves construction below the normal water of a defined channel, permit will need to be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to the County approving the SWPPP.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. At locations where work and disruption in creek can be minimized.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP. When no other feasible alternative exists, crossing streams may be permitted. Design considerations include: current and proposed watershed conditions; average and peak discharge (2-year, 24-hour storm); effect on water surface elevation off site; velocity; sediment removal; and protection of fish and wildlife habits and existing trees. Criteria for certain types of crossings follow.
Low water crossing. Any constant flow less than three (3) inches deep; light traffic; bank height less than five (5) feet; perpendicular to flow or with slight upstream arc.
Culvert. Sized for 2-year, 24-hour storm with one (1) foot freeboard and no flooding of off-site areas; pipe parallel to flow; embankment perpendicular to channel or with slight upstream arc; rip-rap on exposed faces sized for overtopping during a peak storm period.
D. 
When BMP Is To Be Installed. During dry periods in advance of need to cross stream.
E. 
Installation/Construction Procedures. Procedures are specific to type of crossing used. Procedures for low water crossings and culverts include:
1. 
Ensure that all necessary materials are on site before beginning work.
2. 
Provide a stable means to by-pass normal channel flow prior to disturbing channel.
3. 
Scarify and stabilize channel bottom to provide even foundation for crossing.
4. 
Install culvert, if needed — place clayey soil to required dimensions around pipe.
5. 
Grade and compact access ramps.
6. 
Place and compact soil embankment for culvert; rip-rap for low water crossing, if needed.
7. 
Install fabric under crossing and to required distance from creek bank.
8. 
Install stone on access ramps and cellular confinement system for driving surface of crossing.
9. 
Place rip-rap on faces of and downstream from culvert embankment.
F. 
O&M Procedures.
1. 
Inspect at least every week and after every storm.
2. 
Remove sediment and trash accumulation at inlet.
3. 
Repair settlement, cracking or piping holes.
4. 
Stabilize eroded areas at outlet — extend rip-rap if necessary.
G. 
Site Conditions For Removal. Remove as soon as alternative access is available. All foreign materials should be removed from creek. The streambed and banks should be returned to the original contour and should be stabilized if necessary.
H.

[Ord. No. 17-0244, 4-24-2017]
A. 
Physical Description. Control measures designed to prohibit chemicals, hazardous materials, solid waste, human waste and construction debris from polluting stormwater. Pollutants carried in solution or as surface films on runoff will be carried through most erosion control and sediment capture BMPs. Keeping substances like fuel, oil, asphalt, paint, solvents, fertilizer, soil additives, concrete wash water, solid waste, human waste and construction debris from polluting runoff can be accomplished to a large extent through good housekeeping on the site and allowing the manufacturer's recommendations for disposal.
B. 
Where BMP Is To Be Installed. Temporary sanitary facilities, collection, storage and fueling areas should be located on-site in an area that does not receive a substantial amount of runoff from upland areas and does not drain directly to lakes, creeks, streams, rivers, sewers, ground water, wetlands or road ditches.
C. 
Conditions For Effective Use Of BMP.
1. 
Reduction in pollutants depends heavily on how construction personnel perform their duties. An effective management system requires training and signage to promote proper storage, handling and disposal of materials. Follow up observations of actions and inspection of storage areas by management personnel is also required.
2. 
Plans should contain notes clearly stating requirements for addressing potential pollutants.
3. 
Fueling areas and storage areas for hazardous materials should be protected by berms or other means of catching leaks or spills.
D. 
When BMP Is To Be Installed. Immediately following installation of construction entrance and wash station.
