useful for the processing or disposal of waste, except property for the collection of the
<br />waste and property used primarily for the manufacture of scrap metal or paper. Waste
<br />facility includes but is not limited to transfer stations, processing facilities, and disposal sites
<br />and facilities.
<br />Sediment means the product of an erosion process; solid material both mineral and organic,
<br />that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved by water, wind, or ice, and
<br />has come to rest on the earth's surface either above or below water level.
<br />Sedima~tation means the process or action of depositing sediment.
<br />Sedvnent C,ontrvl means the methods employed to prevent sediment from leaving the
<br />development site. Sediment control practices include silt fences, sediment traps, earth
<br />dikes, drainage swales, check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, storm drain inlet
<br />protection, and temporary or permanent sedimentation basins.
<br />Soil means the unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the immediate.surface of the
<br />earth. For the purposes of this document stockpile of gravel, aggregate, concrete or
<br />bituminous materials are not considered "soil" stockpiles.
<br />Stabilized means the exposed ground surface after sod, erosion control blanket, riprap, or
<br />other material that prevents erosion has covered it. Simply sowing grass seed is not
<br />considered stabilization.
<br />Storm Water under Minnesota Rule 7077.0105, subpart 41b storm water, "means
<br />precipitation runoff, storm water runoff, snow melt runoff, and any other surface runoff
<br />and drainage." (According to the Federal Code of Regulations under 40 CFR 122.26 [b][13],
<br />"Storm water means storm water runoff, snow melt runoff and surface and drainage.").
<br />Storm water does not include construction site dewatering.
<br />Storm Water Pollution C-ont~nl Plan means a joint storm water and erosion and sediment
<br />control plan that is a document containing the requirements of Section 4 of the NPDES
<br />permit, that when implemented will decrease soil erosion on a parcel of land and off-site
<br />nonpoint pollution. It involves both temporary and permanent controls.
<br />Structure means anything manufactured, constructed or erected, which is normally attached
<br />to or positioned on land, including portable structures, earthen structures, roads, parking
<br />lots, and paved storage areas.
<br />Su&z~zvisi~ means any tract of land divided into building lots for private, public, commercial,
<br />industrial, etc. development. Minnesota Rule 6120.2500, subpart 17 defines subdivision as, "
<br />...land that is divided for the purpose of sale, rent, or lease, including planned unit
<br />development."
<br />Trayy Prot~tion means short-term methods employed to prevent erosion. Examples of
<br />such protection include: straw, mulch, erosion control blankets, wood chips, and erosion
<br />netting.
