Filtering Mud or Silt from Construction Activities
Water containing mud or silt from construction activities shall be treated by filtration or retention in a settling pond to avoid draining sediment-laden water back to the stream channel. Alternatively, an infiltration area may be created and used within the regular project footprint or in upland areas, if the soil composition of the area adequately supports infiltration back into the system.
