<br />Best Management Practices (J3MP'si means erosion and sediment control and water quality <br />management practices that are the most effective and practicable means of controlling, <br />preventing, and minimizing the degradation of surface water, including <br />construction-phasing, minimizing the length of time soil areas are exposed, prohibitions, <br />and other management practices published by state or designated area-wide planning <br />agencies. (Examples of BMP's can be found in the current versions of the Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency's publications, ''Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas," and, <br />"Storm-Water and Wetlands: Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Addressing Potential <br />Impacts of Urban Storm-Water and Snow-Melt Runoff on Wedands," the United States <br />Environmental Protection Agency's, "Storm Water Management for Construction <br />Activities: Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Mana 'l Practices," (as a <br />reference for BMP's) and the Minnesota Department of Trans on's, "Erosion Control <br />Design Manual.") <br /> <br />Erosion Control Ref, <br />stabili2ation practice <br />construction phasing. <br /> <br /> <br />B!(/fer means a protective vegetated zone located adjac <br />water of the state, that is subject to direct or indirec <br />an integral part of protecting an aquatic ecosyst <br />providing adjacent habitat The width of a bu ' <br />stream.
