SEDIMENT CONTROL - means methods employed to prevent sediment from
<br />leaving the site. Sediment control practices include silt fences, sediment traps, earth
<br />dikes, drainage swales, check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, storm drain
<br />inlet protection, and temporary or permanent sedimentation basins.
<br />STABILIZED - means the exposed ground surface has been covered by appropriate
<br />materials such as mulch, staked sod, riprap, erosion control blanket, mats or other
<br />material that prevents erosion from occurring. Applying mulch, hydromulch, tackifier,
<br />polyacrylamide, or similar erosion prevention practices is not acceptable stabilization in
<br />temporary or permanent drainage ditches or areas where concentrated overland flow
<br />occurs. Grass seeding is not stabilization.
<br />STANDARD PLATES - means general drawings having or showing similar
<br />characteristics or qualities that are representative of a construction activity or practice.
<br />STORMWATER - is defined under Minn. R. 7077.0105, sub. 41(b) and includes
<br />precipitation runoff, stormwater runoff, snowmelt runoff, and any other surface runoff
<br />and drainage.
<br />STORMWATER FACILITY, PRI VA TE — means any BMP that is maintained by a
<br />private property owner, or other private entity and not maintained by a public agency.
<br />STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN - means a plan for
<br />stormwater discharge that includes erosion prevention measures, sediment controls and
<br />Permanent Stormwater Management Systems that, when implemented, will decrease soil
<br />erosion on a parcel of land and decrease off-site nonpoint pollution.
<br />SURFACE WATER OR WATERS - means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes,
<br />wetlands, reservoirs, springs, rivers, drainage systems, waterways, watercourses, and
<br />irrigation systems whether natural or artificial, public or private.
<br />UNDERGROUND WATERS - means water contained below the surface of the earth
<br />in the saturated zone including, without limitation, all waters whether under confined,
<br />unconfined, or perched conditions, in near surface unconsolidated sediment or regolith, or
<br />in rock formations deeper underground. The term ground water shall be synonymous
<br />with underground water.
<br />WATERS OF THE STATE - (as defined in Minn. Stat. §115.01, sub. 22) means all
<br />streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs,
<br />aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems, and all other bodies or accumulations of
<br />water, surface or underground, natural or artificial, public or private, which are contained
<br />within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof.
<br />WATER QUANTITY BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE — the use of on-site
<br />runoff management practices such as biofiltration, infiltration, buffers/conservation areas,
