Attachment_3-Erosion_&_Sedimentation_Control.pdf

This document is an erosion and sedimentation control guidance document issued by the City of Orlando, designed to provide comprehensive instructions for construction site managers and developers. The document outlines best practices for preventing soil erosion and protecting stormwater systems during development projects, with a focus on maintaining water quality and minimizing environmental impact. Key strategies include perimeter controls like silt fences, stabilizing construction entrances, protecting stormwater inlets, managing soil stockpiles, and implementing daily maintenance of Best Management Practices (BMPs).

The guidance provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for implementing erosion control measures, including specific techniques for installing silt fences, managing construction sites, preventing offsite tracking of sediment, and handling dewatering operations. The document emphasizes the importance of these practices not only for environmental protection but also for compliance with the City of Orlando's Stormwater Utility Code. Additional resources are available through the City's Streets and Stormwater Hotline (407-246-2370) for developers and construction professionals seeking more information on erosion and sediment control issues.
