This manual, intended for counties, townships and local units of government, provides guidelines and methods for effective erosion control practices on low volume roads. Local agencies are required to develop erosion control plans and abide by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. Detailed information is provided to guide the user through both Phase I and II of the NPDES permit process, and help is given for dealing with local watershed districts and other agencies. This manual provides guidance for maintenance activities, and case studies outlining best management practices.
