<br />Sediment means the product of an erosion process; solid material both mineral and organic, that is
<br />in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved by water, wind, or ice, and has come to
<br />rest on the earth's surface either above or below water level.
<br />
<br />Sedimentation means the process or action of depositing sediment.
<br />
<br />Sediment Control means the methods employed to prevent sediment from leaving the development
<br />site. Sediment control practices include silt fences, sediment traps, earth dikes, drainage swales,
<br />check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, storm drain inlet protection, and temporary or
<br />permanent sedimentation basins.
<br />
<br />Soil means the unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the immediate surface of the earth.
<br />For the purposes of this document stockpile of gravel, aggregate, concrete or bituminous
<br />materials are not considered "soil" stockpiles.
<br />
<br />Stabilized means the exposed ground surface after sod, erosion control blanket, riprap, or other
<br />material that prevents erosion has covered it. Simply sowing grass seed is not considered
<br />stabilization.
<br />
<br />Storm Water under Minnesota Rule 7077.0105, subpart 41b storm water, "means precipitation
<br />runoff, storm water runoff, snow melt runoff, and any other surface runoff and drainage."

<br />construction site dewatering.
<br />
<br />Storm Water Pollution Control Plan means a joint storm water and erosion and sediment control plan
<br />that is a document containing the requirements of Section 4 of the NPDES permit, that when
<br />implemented will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and off-site nonpoint pollution. It
<br />involves both temporary and permanent controls.
