This standard is intended to guide stormwater professionals on the purpose, design, placement, material selection, installation, inspection, and maintenance of aggregate construction entrance/exit pads when used as a temporary sediment control practice during construction to minimize the amount of soil track-out and other construction-related debris onto adjacent streets or roads. Consult with product specifications for alternative manufactured construction entrance/exit pads or systems.

This standard is intended to guide stormwater professionals on the purpose, design, selection, installation, and maintenance of inlet protection when used as a temporary sediment control practice during construction to intercept or filter sediment from stormwater runoff prior to discharge through a storm drainage system.

This Standard is intended to guide designers of a silt fence when used as a temporary sediment control barrier.
