<br />permits to be discharged.
<br />(4) "Erosion Prevention" means measures employed to prevent erosion including, but not
<br />limited to, soil stabilization practices, limited grading, mulch, temporary or permanent cover, and
<br />construction phasing.
<br />(5) "Final Stabilization" means that all soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and
<br />all soils have be stabilized by a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70% over the entire
<br />pervious surface area, or other equivalent means necessary to prevent soil failure under erosive
<br />conditions.
<br />(6) means the party who signs the construction contract with the owner
<br />or operator to construct the project described in the final plans and specifications. Where the
<br />construction project involves more than one contractor, the general contractor could be the party

<br />(7) "Impervious Surface" means a constructed hard surface that either prevents or retards the
<br />entry of water into the soil and causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities and at an
<br />increased rate of flow than prior to development. Examples include rooftops, sidewalks, patios,

<br />(11) "Peiinanent Cover" means surface types that will prevent soil failure under erosive
<br />conditions. Examples include gravel, asphalt, concrete, riprap, roof tops, perennial cover, or
<br />other landscaped material that will permanently arrest soil erosion. A uniform perennial
<br />vegetative cover (i.e., evenly distributed, without large bare areas) with a density of seventy
<br />percent of the native background vegetative cover for the area must be established on all
